  1. Old thick black locust bark , scots pine the bottom half and the tree from today Silver maple.
  2. I would say it's a very specialised vehicle.
  3. Hit and run. Here's some info from the RAC http://www.rac.co.uk/insurance/car-insurance/what-to-do-after-a-hit-and-run-accident
  4. Great video , well worth it. And a good early start , I've known woodcutters to show up 10am and be gone for 2pm on a daily basis. What's the red light flashing against the windscreen.
  5. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/18732-best-2-stroke-oil-your-saw.html
  6. Have you got the right friction clutch for your rope.
  7. Crazy high , are they still growing in height.
  8. Is it called quick steel or is it JB weld.
  9. Had a look around Spandau Weihnachtsmarkt today. I wasn't that impressed. The Best I've seen so far is Edinburgh Christmas Market , in fact most shows and events seem better in the UK.
  10. here's a thread with something about it. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/42663-climbing-kit-customisation.html
  11. It looks like he's using a petzl croll type thing on his safety line for going up and then at the top changes over to a petzl rig or ID This is what i use , especially on fir/pine trees. Put an end to rope mess during pole felling. Compared to double rope systems with redundant rope dangling down to the foot of the trunk, the Belay- Descent-Kit offers a great alternative: Consisting of 30 m dynamic rope (9,8 mm), a CINCH and two 3-way autolock carabiners all packed in one small silverbull Hip-Bag it offers an easy back up descent to the ground. The rope is anchored in choke mode on the trunk while the majority of its length remains in the bag. It can't be damaged by spurs, doesn't touch the ground and therefor stays out of the way of the rigging work. Perfect solution to a problem that hopefully occurs!
  12. No problem with the stihl ones. I have a standard canister with the stihl add ons. But also use this quite often.
  13. Nice and smooth work. Sitka is pretty strong wood i know that from my woodcutting days. It was also used to build the Mossie. Working in a good/great team makes our job one of the best.
  14. I would use one of these as well. Anti-dust spray Suit
  15. Your videos and work are fantastic. I can just imagine watching them using a VR Headset , it would be breathtaking.
  16. Sounds like a great product thanks for the heads up. Petzl Nao Plus http://www.facewest.co.uk/Petzl-Nao-Plus.html
  17. Picture 10/10 View 10/10 hinge 10/10 the gob 5/10 .
  18. Some excellent pictures Don. I hate rigging trees when it's cold , too much waiting going on.
  19. I like my Treeflex , but it's a bit outdated now.
