  1. 14 all the way.like matty said its what you lernt with, but also alot to do with what the people around you use
  2. it depends on the tree, but on big take downs i tend to leave a peg, not so much to tand on but for something for my strop to sit on top of
  3. allways start at 8 then finish whenever the job gets done
  4. barreled at the local secret spot
  5. hi there matt. i contract to the guy who sells them. rob dyer. if you were at the apf last year and the aa the last 2 years you would have seen us there.there arnt any courses available but ill happillly answer any questions you might have john
  6. dependant on how big the tree is and how bigger blocks im taking off il get a felling bar with a chainsaw strop on it sent up
  7. yep every time.
  8. if you dont mind me asking:)
  9. in which situation?
  10. to be honest i felt like telling him to piss off home, but it was probbaly the best thing for him to feel awfull whilst dragging brash all day, because he will remember how rubbish he felt and hopefully think twice about doing it again
  11. sounds like a plan
  12. its a shame really because ussually hes spot on,id rather hed called in sick, than come in and been useless
  13. groudie turns up with the hangover from hell, stinking of booze with a massive chip on his shoulder.then on the way homethe exhaust fell off the van.hopefully tomorrow will go a little better thats if i can find a garage to sort the van out quick sharp
  14. garden party
  15. could do with a new mug
  16. yes thats the one
  17. its only fraud if its a bouncy cheque. but if the person has cancelled the cheque take them to the small claims court, it may cost you 30 odd quid but there is no defence to a claim where a cheque has been stopped. basically you will get paid
  18. call them up and try to speak to them even better arrange a meeting,find out what the problem is and try and appease, if no luck then send them another bill with recorded delivery, this then stands you in better stead if it has to go further. this has happend to me twice and have resolved the situation by asking for a reduced amount(egnough to cover costs ie lads wages etc, then calmly saking them never to phone me again
  19. tried your redict system today steve, with much sucess, can see the benefit of using the pully to reduce friction so il be trying that tomorrow
  20. i think that the older techniques are good and reliable, after all its what the majority of us probably learnt on,ie prussic knot.But it is very inefficent
  21. steve, when you set up your rediect i presume you are roped in with your lanyard.the redirect makes sense but this is the only bit puzzleing me. ive allways redirected withethe other end of my rope but can see the positives in this
  22. cant beat a pair of sticky gloves
  23. yeah cheers bodean.its always nice to watch someone else at work
