Being new to the VT, i found using a dynemma sling a great addition, adding a pantin to the melting pot was great, I'd used the pantin before with a blakes with great success. i've been trying to figure out how to use both legs to ascend the bungee system seems to work well. Using the 3 pully technique in the 'hitch climber guide' (cambium saver, hitch climber and second anchor pully), doesn't the hitch always want to stop decending as the rope returns back up to the 2nd anchor pully? i'll give it a go at some point soon.

never never never slam a chainbrake on at full revs, unless the proverbial is just about to fly through the fan. Jamie

if you are after the best beach in scotland i'd say head to Sandwood, it's a long long long drive (being about 4 miles from teh top of the countrY)then a 4 mile walk think the beach is a mile long or something, if you camp its deserted. Plockton is a nice village Gruinaird bay when its crap is a hole in the sun it's gorgeous Tounge bay is nice Never done the south west (thats this year) Jamie p.s. if it isn't raining the midges are out

i obviously need to tweak my VT, as it doesn't self tend, i find it plenty quick, I'm using arbormaster and 10mm beal stuff just now till it runs out. any wrap braid combos that work. Jamie
-
let the revs drop and click it on. i even 'slow' the chain speed down on a bit of wood before engaging it. thats not to say in an emergency i wouldn't slam it on, but why put all that undue stress through the clutch? Jamie

pollarding Acer platanoides 'Globosum'????
Jamie replied to The Rutland Arborist's topic in General chat
luckily you don't live in scotland you'd be out of a job. Sorry my opinions on the main subject mirror that of everyone else. prune at the period of least stress. Jamie -
I'd like a set after over ten years of riding i think a set of skis would be fun, i'm after a new pair of boots my burton boxers are a wee bit soft. Jamie

8 months is pretty good, but not brilliant. was the fault through workmanship or general wear and tear? I like my stretch airs, after 18 months the fly went (the zip itself broke) so i cut the metal off and stitched the fly half shut. when i had some old huskies the crotch always went and this happened quicker when i was just belted up. I'm a braces kinda chap. oh and i always take the buttons off and re stitch them using whipping twine, it's stronger stuff and less likely to rip apart Jamie

I don't want to know how you've got close enough to determine the species the hair came from to fashion her knickers:scared1: Jamie

Hi and welcome Your basic chainsaw and maintenance units under the NPTC scheme are CS 30 / 31 They should be a good start, The NPTC units are industry standard, they're not cheap but would 'allow' you to progress into pro work. I'm not sure what training providers are based around your area though. Jamie

Tommy, i'm going to have to ask you to stop posting pictures of your work, it puts any of my mushrooms to shame Jamie oh absolutly stunning though

Yeah but every so often i have to p....p....p... eh.....deadwood a tree I use my throwline with my fancy srt stuff (i'm remaking my footloop as a whoopie sling type footloop:001_cool: i'll give it a go and see if it works) Jamie

I've been using a bit of Ash for the past 4 1/2 years, does me great Jamie
-
Any good? bloody brilliant, it's quite heavy reading. the first book has some similarities to the first film but the supremcy and ultimatum are completely different. When i'm done with discworld i'm onto Catch 22 to try and get into it for the third time. any other recommendations? Jamie
-
Anyone else a fan of the Discworld series, I'm assuming there are a few here. i started by reading 'Mort' last summer then flipping onto 'Making Money' while i was in Cornwall last summer. Ever sice i've been on a mission to read the whole load in order, I'm now about to start 'Jingo'. I'm loving the easy reading (i read the Borne trilogy beforehand) and the wit. anyway, i'm off to read Jamie

i was taught the dragging across a bench and the 2/3 tangs. i also go by the phrase 'no slack no drag' keep on top of it and everything is cushty Jamie
-
I've had a 330 Zubat for a good 5 years now still on it's first blade and still sharp. that only really shows how infrquently i use it. sure it gives a nice smooth quiet cut but most of teh work i do is take downs. maybe i need to start using one more. Jamie

I trust you remembered to let go of the branchy bits when they went in. Jamie

normally listen to the today show then buy a paper on teh way to work, always flick to the cartoon on the opinions page first, see how they have rendered Mr Broon et al for the day Jamie

and i bet they hate you too. bet they were chilling in their pad, minding their own business then, , their home had been destroyed, then you killed their babies by burning them to death:thumbdown: Jamie

Thats like our logging arch. But its got a electric take off on teh quad for the winch with a big plug so you don't have to use the battery. very useful bit of kit. Jamie

old 16 strand is harder, arbormaster i'd imagine woul;d be tough due to the few thicker poly fibers they have running through each strand. I've spliced used blaze and it was pretty tough going. Arbormaster can be spliced both ends as it doesn't milk. If you do get anyone to do it wash it first. noone likes handling stinky rope. Oh and i'm based in edinburgh:001_cool: Jamie
