Very calming watching you working. Are the trees still healthy where you are.

i’ve noticed the tops of tall trees in the uk usually die of after 40-50 meters.

How about this method 

I’m in bed now with aches and pains.

Tirfor only gets a few outings a year and today was one of them, A gurt stump roadside that needed ripping out and no space for a big machine or the Boughton, used an adjacent tree to anchor off and teased it out with the tirfor /mini digger.

 

 

 

Seeing stumps like this one always makes me appreciate stump grinders even more.

stll very impressive though  ?

Just this minute came back from the shops 

150-170 cm Noble Fir for 15 Euros. Maybe 13 pounds sterling.

Just trying to say that the default felling cut here in Germany , is the Bore and release back cut.

Been working for a landscape company , two of their workers have just completed a chainsaw course . I think upto 30 cm 12 ins diameter felling.

They were telling me about leaving a hold at the back and were told to use it as much as possible 

 The reason was , they decide when it should fall not the tree.

 

what do you guys think ? 

Seems to be the trend here in Germany.

it’s called in German ,

Next question lol.....

 

How do one get a cambian saver up a tree and a rope through it correctly with a throw line?

I think there’s 3 or 4 ways of doing it.

Here’s one 

I would be quite happy with a ms 241 and a ms 150.

Depends on the work you are doing, two totally different saws

Both are top handle saws.

Any suggestions/recommendations of suppliers for proper Arborist First Aid Kits and for the Trauma Coagulant Sprinkles & Bandage?

Need to get a whole new first aid kit and my old one is now out of date and not really chainsaw friendly....

I think some kits have a self life of twenty years 

Do yourself a favour and buy a ms 150 .

no more heavy top handle saws for me

088/880 more power ??? It depends how you look at it , on paper the 090 has 13 hp the 088 8.5 hp . The saws deliver that power in a very different way but if you adjust the speed flap on the 090 it will walk all over a 088/880. I' ve run a 090 a lot  with bigish bars ( I have 4 of them) and I've owned several 088/880s and still have an 084 so I know the real difference or should I say understand the way they act ? For milling it's hard to beat the raw "power" of the 090 .

The sound of a 070/090 is real good.

Clark cut and climb is the best jacket i've worn.  Don't be put off by the price tag, its worth every penny.  Maybe a little warm in the summer months though.

I learnt the hard , finished a job of in heavy rain.

I was ill for 3/4 days.

no money coming in.

my next purchase was proper rain gear .

it pays for itself.

SORRY lads proberbly get slated for this, but if your cold in the arb & forestry buisness your not doing enough ? to much standing about and you will go cold dont seem to suffer my self much, but keep myself going only problem i have is when in shed splitting logs my feet get cold but thats with not moving about much,photos below is of one lad who works with me not a lot of clothing on and as you can see not the warmest of days but i cant remember any one moaning about being cold, more than likely felt colder on way home in truck than out there working,

Keeping warm while climbing in the winter is difficult. Cold winds for example are worse aloft 

you can’t wear to much otherwise movement is impaired.

Plus if you’re rigging a tree down , half the time you’re waiting for the groundies

sometimes minus 15 here in Berlin.

No need to be cold nowadays.

if you have the right clothing.

Or should we copy what Wim Hof does.
