  1. Looks really good Ben. Any tips for other Arbtalkers on how to get a Visa for the states?
  2. Disc Brakes wouldn't be a expensive or silly addition to one of those. You could pay a wayward youth to steel you a Mountain Bike and use the brakes off that for example.
  3. Absolutely: We want to spend as little as possible to make as much as we can. Just like most of our clients want the most for their money,money that they like us have earned. The influx of new personal into the industry is a windfall for training and equipment suppliers,the amount of Arb gear sold in the last 5 to 10 years,in conjunction with the number of students at training centers must add up to tens of millions of Pounds in revenue. Just like a huge Storm would be huge benefit to us financially,now is the time for equipment and training Schools to harvest the good times. What I think I am worth: I am worth exactly as much as my company can earn.If market conditions mean that my services don't make the profit I require,then I will go and do something else.
  4. Nzpaul on here is looking for workers in Sweden if you are interested.
  5. Nice job! There are alot of people on here who will never have section felled a Tree as big as that.Let alone done it early in their climbing career.
  6. 404's have a 2.1 L four cylinder Petrol engine in them.Towing or moving quickly is not what they do.Or stop quickly,especially with 2.8 tonn behind and as in your suggestion a full water tank. However if all your jobs were close by and down hill in a dimension where down hill went both ways and where there were gravel traps to stop you when your drum brakes failed. Then I can't see why it wouldn't be a good solution,no?
  7. Have you Googled "Arborist wanted Canada?" Might be a good start you know.

  10. Nice Fridge Magnet is all I use.Has Bungle from Rainbows face on it an all!
  11. I have unfond memories of that very Truck blowing its Gearbox on the Hammersmith Roundabout one Bank Holiday Friday. How much did the Chip Box cost you in total Mr Git? Looks the business!
  12. Quite a few Redwoods I have seen,have lost their tops and grown new ones. Maybe that does no harm when they are in stands of their own kind and sheltered from the wind?The largest one I have seen had mutliple tops after the first one had probably blown out. How long do Redwoods live for in the UK?
  13. If is buggered,then fell it. If you whacked it back to a Pollard,then you would still have several Ton of Stick leaning toward the Road. Its had its day,fell it and plant another.

  21. I burn anything I know or suspect will combust. I really hate taking the Rubbish out and try to burn it if possible.Tin Cans take a while to break down,but anything burns if its hot enough.
  22. How about getting your insurance and qualifications together and go knock on some doors?Be polite,explain yourself clearly,if they are not interested leave a Business Card with them. I bet if you knock on 100 Doors in the right neighbourhoods,you will have some result.
