The hight of the Tree must have somthing to do with how much Tension is at the Butt,must be a bit like using a long Breaker Bar on a Frozen Bolt. I know what you mean about using the wind to push a Tree that might have a slight back lean on it.But its best if you back up your Cut with a Wedge(s) in case the wind drops or there is more weight behind than you estimated.

Bear Grylls makes Fishing Hooks from the Wire in Parachute Harnesses Rob.... Perfect little Stainless Steel Hooks...... He uses the Waterproof Pockets to hold the Room key to the Holiday Inn and his roll of Menthos.

I would have to disagree with that. The wind can complicate Feling no end,its the main reason why Fallers walk out of the Bush.A heavy leaner becomes Tensioned enormously more with the wind behind it.So much so that they can Barber Chair when your putting in the top cut.

I have Slept on a mate Couch WITH OUT a Duvet Eaten Cold Pizza from the Lid of a Box after a Party Found a Half Melted Ice Cream on the Beech and eaten it (was still in wrapper) Made a Tent in a Park from a Deflated Paddling Pool and a Skipping Rope. Lit a Fire in a Rubbish Bin with only a Lighter and some Sparklers. Here is a Picture of the Buss that the idiot Starved to death in.Yes you can drive to it,not its not that remote.

Good idea Mick! What time do you reckon would be good for us all to meet at the Pub? I was thinking from 6pm,then Meal from 8pm or what do you all think?Some people are bound to be late and others have never met before and will want to be aqquainted.

Nice job! It goes to show how Taupo's gone,now there are Arborists Felling Trees using a Skidder.When I lived there 12 years ago half the town was involved in the Logging industry and one of the Chainsaw shops used to do $14K a week.
-

"LOL" GREAT POST!:thumbup:

Don't mock my new look please. How many of you make an effort to look well presented at,during and after work?A man well groomed is indeed a man well kept.I was considering a Trilbey but that would have hidden my immaculate side part. Do any of you know just how hard it is to find "Brill Cream" and "Bay Rum" in this Desert of Male Grooming that is Western Norway?

Imori is ok in wet conditions but its not as easy to handle as Tachyon.

I guess its the anonymity of being on the internet,I would prefer it if people used their real names.No one I have met in real life from this Forum has introduced themselves by their user name. I wish me first name was somthing more colourful than Michael."Delicious" would suit me better I beleive.

Nice Job!
-
Where ever you like! Plan is. Pub Curry Pub Can we have some suggestions of a good Pub to meet at and a good Curry House in the Bexley area?
-

-

Guess I won't mention the Sauna Sean

I was chatting to Chris Baker on the phone about a get together and he suggested that area might be a good bet.We could keep it to the Black Prince off the A2 and there would be accom available there?
-
What about a few Beers in the Bexley area on the evening of Saturday the 4th December?There is plenty of accomadation available in that area and its not to far into Kent for the Londoners. I'm keen on this but its all a matter of numbers....
-
Use them for Jack Stands? Burn the other 59.

Not so. The level and standard of Arboriculture in any given Country is reflective of the needs of Clients.

Thats the best thing I've seen all day!

Climbers are specialists who have often gained more qualifications and experience in the job than groundies.They are also subjected to higher personal risk and responsibility than groundies. It is typical to see foreign employers advertising for "experianced Climbers" at locations around the World.Not so Groundies, which indicates that its easier to source local persons for the easier jobs than train them to be Climbers.

I think 2/3 is about right. There are probably many reasons to justify the lower pay rate,but reduced chance of personal injury would be one of them.

Just do loads of "Cashie's"! :thumbup::thumbup:
