    read the rule book, then read it again while looking at how the score sheets work. free to down load anytime! International Tree Climbing Championship casualty reasurance and comunication with other workers on site is the key to ANY rescue, comp or not, and as we know pratice makes perfect so dont try anyting new on the day, period, because it will go wrong:001_tt2:

    how about cutting the floor out of the wagon body/ kiln and lifting it over the wood stack with the fork lift, much lighter and quicker than moving the timber, just a thought:001_smile:
