Poleclimbing competitions - Are you up for a challenge?
Mr Ed replied to Pete the Pole's topic in Climbers talk
toe spikes are in adifferent league to conventional climbing irons. Toe spikes enable you to run up the pole. You cant stand still on them though. -
Benvenuti a Arbtalk Kailas!

No Proof of industry accepted training = No insurance cover. I bet you have'nt told your insurance company your unqualified...

The dog turd you thought you trod on turns out to be a piece of moss. A nice shiny new rope A neat spliced eye in said rope.

A hamlet cigar. But also - That first cut you do into willow or poplar with a fresh razor sharp chain a crisp cold clear morning The relief of cutting the last stem of leylandii in a long hedge job

Ha! thats arguable. You could say that the current regime has slowly destroyed all that she achieved. Reckon it'll take another ten years to tidy up their mess.

My father is 66, and he dismantled 3 trees last weekend...

Not on a moped, but I have carried the same gear on a DT 125.

Conkers, its a good discusion point. I agree with what you say, but when the crunch comes, this country is going to get a very nasty shock.

It was one of stihls nicest saws in its day, a real classic.

Its all gonna go tits up in the next few years. bring back Thatcher, thats what I say!

I think Jamie was being sardonic

I think the film is made up. I've seen a billboard hoarding for it, and I think it says three and out. Glad your happy with your username. My apologies for casting aspertions on your motives.

I heard about that. Biggest load I ever saw was in france during the windblow clearing -black pine pulp heading to a mill, 81 tonnes over the bridge. Hilarious
-
Thats because we live in one of the biggest ripoff country's in the world.

Nobody's criticising your choice of avatar. and my opinion on your username is just that - my opinion. if you want to keep her name alive, how about a signature - Maureen Cathryn Harriet "Cats" Falck (11 July 1953 – date of death uncertain) - Killed in the name of truth. Taking her name on an arb forum is in my opinion a little bit weird.
-
Its in fairly bad taste IMO. Cats Falck was a swedish journalist murdered by the east german stasi whilst investigating there illegal arms sales.

I've made the same move as Skyhuck, cut down to me and one ther man, and bring in extra help when needed. I can see a lot of company's doing this over the next few years. I used to have 12 guys working for me, even the memory of it makes me shudder...

We deadwooded some pines a few years ago, and I shoveled some of the bone dry chip into the bosky - fantastic fuel. it was like having a small thermonuclear reaction, or blast furnace. the heat was incredible...
-
Luckily for me, she was out. Took me an hour or two to clear up the mess though:D
-
Hehe, thats what happened to me when I filled my Bosky with chip.... Blew the lids into the ceiling:bongsmi:
-
Ha, that was a damn good price. ever shoveled it full of chip?
-
Dave, cant find any info on those Ruffle boilers, what sort of cost? I have looked long and hard at various boiler options, IMO it has to work on woodchips, as pellets are so expensive. It has to be a machine that has a ram feed though, or you need a 3 phase supply to work the augers. Only one machine that I know of will do that, thats the Passat C series. Looking at about £7k for the right boiler.

Plenty of humour here Logger, but you have to stick around to get the subtler jokes Dunno about face fuzz, my father grew a beard when working for the Northern Ireland forestry service because the only englishmen who shaved up there were squaddies - and it was not a good time to be mistaken for an off duty squaddie. I would like to cultivate a proper mephistophelian goatie beard, but just look scruffy. Tend to shave once a week, usually friday nights.
