  1. 1 up and down the vascular system 2 between the annual rings 3 between parenchyma(medullary rays) 4 after wounding the newest live tissue creates forms the 4th wall
  2. well thats basically the bare bones of it. different tissue boundries form reaction zones that produce chemical barriers that resist infection. the strength of the barriers depends on there location.
  3. dr alex shigo produced a model if you like,to explain how a tree has 4 walls of resistance to the entry of pathogens, the 1st wall being the weakest and the 4th being the strongest.the walls effectively create compartments to stop/trap the pathogen infection
  4. compartmentalisation of decay in trees

  11. AKU croda, not a disimilar price to the scarpa pro ascents
  12. ive been thinking the same thing mate, been contemplating getting anew hank of arbormaster. i do have some but it hasnt got a splice(since another climber cut it off when we were both in the tree) and i dont really like climbing on knots(far to untidy)
  13. the hitch is backing up a fig8 nick
  14. im so envious of your guys dave. i hope they realise how lucky they are
  15. very good capable saw, loved mine till it died
  16. carbon geckos are great, had mine 2 1/2 yearsor there abouts, solved the problem of the slippy straps with a coupole of cable ties, but reckon im going to give your method a go matty
  17. neither
  18. classic, great little lunge and point at the end
  19. dam you sir!! you have gotto admit it does look very liquidamber:blushing:
  20. i dont wear my works tshirts when climbing for other firms, cant see that they would be happy about me advertising my buissness when im representing theirs. if im not supplied a tshirt then i just wear a plain berghaus/northface/hellyhanson lightweight technical top saying that i turn up in a signwritten truck
  21. 5 pages mostly on people who cant work a simple cap,amazing. i guess most of you struggle with the medicine bottles that you have to push down and twist at the same time
  22. i dont mind sandwiches, often get a selection of different pickles from the local market to mix things up a bit, love leftover roast meat sandwiches on a monday as well. I take pride in my sandwiches. wouldnt let my ex make my sandwiches for me as she wouldnt do it right. we stop for such a short amount of time throughout the day i like to have something to look forward to. Saying that i fired up the pan on the kelly kettle tuesday and had heinz sausage and beens. Oh and i usually have a tin of mackrel in oil and a bit of fruit as well
  23. i always put a copy of my EL insurance and PL insurance in with my quotes, also a guide to good tree care from the national park authority and a choosing your arborist leaflet also from the national park authority but written by the HSE with help from the ISA AA NPTC etc etc
  24. sweet:thumbup:
