No I don't have an Iphone. I take my Laptop to work when we are going out to the Sticks,its well handy.But its to expensive to have banging around in the Truck.What I want is Google Maps without carting my Laptop around. Ipads are about £500 here.

I'm looking to get an Ipad for browsing Google Maps when lost out in the Sticks.I would also use it to veiw Dirty Movies and buy Guns over the internet at work. Do you think an Ipad is for me?

Warped Flywheel would make the machine gyrate like mental.

I wonder how many Trainers/Assessors use a Vehicle one handed? Banning things never works.

Really you have to be there to get the job. Because you are A:On the other side of the World B:Unproven C:Available only after a long delay Get yourself a working holiday Visa.Get over to NZ,Get on the phone and give it a go.Most employers will give you a Trial day/week and hire you if they like what they see.

Crap attitude I think Mr Ben. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFwDEqLQ0bA&playnext=1&list=PL6D1B37752AFE2468]YouTube - ‪Remember the days of the old schoolyard - Cat Stevens‬‏[/ame] Private Matter.I suggest getting in touch with the people you have a problem with via PM.

Elm! It smells like an old Folks Home when your Cutting it.

Well done mate! I still remember getting Boozed at the tender age of 22 to celebrate the purchase of my first Chipper.Other than your climbing Harness,nothing in this business will make you more Coin.

These are nice.But you need Elf hands because the grip is for Pixies.

There is no easy road into it. Falling for a Hauler is primo work as you don't do any limbing.Downside is the steep Terrain. Most Fallers start out on the skids and then move into Falling for ground based (Skidder/Dozer) extraction.Alot of the flat stuff is done with Harvesters now,but they don't get all the Stubs so a Skiddy or two is still needed. What ever way its turned,you still need General Requirements and a First Aid ticket to work in the Bush.

First find out how to do "General requirements" the Trainer will be well connected in the Logging industry.He may know someone who would give you a trial. NPTC Tickets will be irrelevent.IF you get a job it will probably be on the "Skids" the Logs are pulled onto the Skids by a Skidder or Dozer to be limbed and cut to length by Men.You limb and cut to length two at a time from Butt to Head and one comming back from Head to Butt.You will be limbing with an 660 for four hours at a time in up 40deg in the Summer up to 4000ft up.No shade,no sit downs and no Tea Break except 30mins for lunch at 11am. Forget about learning how to Fall untill you have done the hard yards for a few years. I worked in a Hauler Crew (Yarder) for a few years in my Teens.Based in Taupo and working in the Pines.

Coming "Straight off the Boat" and expecting to get a job as a Faller in a Logging Crew is a Pipe Dream. To work in the Bush you first need "General Requirements" thats a basic ticket on Radio use,Fire Fighting,Common sence etc. Next a First Aid Cert Then you will need "Chainsaw Maintainance and operating" Then probably "Processing on a Landing" Then deffinatly Stage one (Its the basic Falling Ticket) Spiked Boots,Chaps,Wedge Belt,Hammer,Wedges,Fire Extinguisher,First Aid Kit,Helmet,Muffs,Visor But most guys didn't get a job unless that had "Stage Two" Kind of like advanced Falling. Its important to remember all this Ticket Must be sat in NZ and you have to do all of it at a production Speed in a Production setting.Most logging Crew either call in Fallers or Train them up in house.You would have to have been in a Crew for a few years Limbing or Breaking out before a Boss would consider money spent on training well spent.Also alot of Bosses don't like guys in their early 20's Falling.Its as dangerous as ----. You might find work with your UK Forestry Tickets working in a Thinning to Waste operation. If Arb is what you know,stick with it.

Took down some Poplars today.Hope you like it [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmLj7Gz1k2I&feature=related]YouTube - Extreme Tree Cutting[/ame]

Got back this morning,chipper will be following later. Thanks to Mark for the venue and the efforts of those who helped clear the access. I would have liked to have stayed longer but had things to get on with.

He pulled it out of his Bottom.

Why are you online during normal working hours?

Had an Oak Reduction this morning.Was a bit windy,good thing my "Pruning Spikes" were good and Sharp.

MS660. You can Fell anything with it.

I am coming! Will try and do some climbing if the Tree isn't too big and Scary and someone can tell me that the branch is strong enough to climb on. Will there be Toilets?

How did you know what way it would Fall? Only Joking,looks like one of the Jobs we all love!Well done and thanks for sharing the pictures.

Nice Truck! I've had a couple of those.Unfortunatly they are easy to get into without Keys,Replace the Pin in the side Window latch with a small Bolt and Nut.You will see what I mean when you open the Passenger Door and then open the Small Side Door. Welcome to the "Propper Pickup" Club.
