  1. Hi Jon, nice to see you on here, give my regards to your dad please. cheers craig
  2. except only pull down a couple of times before tending the slack, otherwise you will be developing the risk of o fall
  3. i think there is a distinction to be made for clarity, what we are talking about is a secondary back-up bridge as opposed to a actual second (approved) bridge.
  4. just a 30 second search http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/more-cougar-bridge-failures.194637/ Customising PPE | Treemagineers Blog
  5. thanks the onyx uses a small rigging plate for attachment, so if you put a second bridge in, there is no other lower d attachment point never tried the nikosi but its looks a bit 'different' in concept
  6. Two bridge attachment points opens up better work position options than just a lanyard alone. there have been a few well documented bridge failures, mostly where the original bridge has been replaced with incorrect matterial
  7. the new new hass has a new larger bigger purpose made clip at the top, that will clip onto the bridge d on a tree motion
  8. Been running scion orange with my wrench, not much bounce or sheath movement and good value what's not to like
  9. Tie a alpine butterfly knot about a meter or so back from eye , either take a rap round the tree,or not, clip together, keep binner aligned and avoids cross loading
  10. I have a airspace you can hire if you don't find anyone
  11. your not looking in the right place[ame= ] [/ame]
  12. the only sure fire way to get it out of your garden is move
  13. don't think noddy is having a stand this time:sad:
  14. Don't think the 3mm difference is a rule because if you were using 10mm it would suggest that you use 7mm which is too small in most cases unless specified by a manufacturer
  15. For any chain saw trouser to pass the CE test they have to have a height 'rise' in the front (a gents cut) so they will never be a great fit and none of the manufacturers will pay for a new standard to be made for small market
  16. Crew Leader Come and see Tree Care Skills Training Home at the APF For a different approach

  18. no one does ETW in the UK, not many european countries recognise nptc, but you can take etw in english at some exam centers.
  19. from a time in the states, if your not p##ing your not drinking enough and it your p##s not clear your not drinking enough, they were all drinking 6lrs+ a day
