    I’m lying here and thinking what went wrong . I’ve got a finger injury again , maybe my fifth accident in 30 years of tree work. I seem to lose my concentration thinking of the next job or appointment. Stay safe guys. Keep focused on the job in hand.

    Have you published any books David. A field guide would be great. Your very inspiring sometimes.

    i would say the biggest let down of the cs100 is always having sharp blades . having to change them so often.

    the blades on a cs100 have to be sharp otherwise it's pita.

    maybe i should try a clove hitch , but i normily use a overhand knot on a bight. for some reason the marlin spike knot is for me unsafe

    this happened yesterday. my left index was on the corner of a stub a branch came down on top and the finger was split. the surgeon told me i should be wearing gloves. here's hoping theres no infection.

    Buy a big shot ( the head part is all you need ) makes life a lot easier. You can use thicker , stiffer line . ( the cheap stuff ).

    Excellent result. You need patience for them trees , getting the branches out of the crown is a hassle.
