    i have 4 cast blocks and 3 or 4 of the redirect style, and can safely say they all get used regularly. its rare that we only install one block in a tree, far better to spred the load. the last cast isc pulley i bought was 85 pounds, it doesnt take long for the daily cost of that to become pence

    its funny you say that, the latest one suffering has had a multi million pound lifeboat training staion built within its RPA. theres a couple of others within the site that have patches of bark necrosis but showing good wound wood development on the edges

    I bought my first 020 off the guy I was working for, saved and bought a pick up truck and did small jobs, bought my first basic rigging kit So I could actually do a job I'd quoted for that I knew would need rigging. Subbed guys in with bigger trucks and chippers until I could afford to talk to the bank about a small loan to buy a chipper and so on It depends how much you want it really, it's easy to go out and borrow money, but how do you even know your cut out for it?
