When I first left collage I was made to spike up a Syc with no ropes for line clearence, had the saw in one hand at full revs and kicked back into my right calf. I was wearing type c trowsers and the saw cut right through and cut my leg. none of the blocking material pulled out as I hit the seam.

Is there much differance between the Petzl and the cheeper Camp swivels. Do the guys that have the tree motion put the swivle on the bridge or connect it with a biner and do you keep or remove the ring that comes on the bridge?

I thought about doing it as good will, PR but I bet that if the cat had jumped or I had dropped it and had got injured I would have been sued for the vets bill or had to claim on PL. Also if it was a nail in a first floor water pipe and water was pissing through the sealing they would want a plummer out asap and pay some wacked up fee!

Well I guess its the same as quoting for work. Each job is individual and is priced accordingly. I was there about 30mins, the tree was were easy to climb and I got the cat down safely. I charged £50 but as in the case of jamesw he would of had to charge more as the job took longer and needed 2x climbers plus some branch removal. I would guess that the best and fairest way that you could turn up to this sort of job blind is to work out a fee for the first hour for say two people then an hourly rate for subsequent hours.

You got wee'd on Kipperfeet and I got a slashed chin. I was a bit concerned as to how the cat would react once I had reached it. It didn't try to climb any higher and I was able to lift her off. I thought that I would struggle to put the cat into a cat basket but she went in straight away and lowered straight down to one very happy owner.

Hi guys, in the past two months ive been called out twice to rescue cats stuck up trees. Just wondered how common this is and if any one else has had to do it.

Hi Matt,
Nice bike, glad your recent situaton is on the up!
I have spoken to Sheia Cooke about payment for the hedge cutting I did for you last year, as you said that she hadent paid you and to talk to her direct and she has sent me there company bank statement which shows that the £260 has been paid in to your account so she cant pay me as she has paid you.
Please could you forward me a cheque for this if you need my address i can give it to you.
May be in contact with you regarding woodchip.
Cheers Paul.

Sorry to here about your loss, but if it makes any one feel any better, last night I jumped on a thief in the local M&S who was walking out the door with a shopping trolley full of whisky and other stuff, well over £400 worth. The robbing thieving family got there 8 year old daughter to push the trolley out! Police came and nicked him but I bet he gets off.

If its all you can afford and your going to earn money with it, you've definitely made the right decision!

Iv'e had a pair of air streams for just over a month and have found them very comfortable. Also I found my spikes sit better in these than my Hiax.

Count me in, thanks.

Every summer ive suffered with dehydration so this year ive started to climb with a camel back which I found doesnt really get in the way and even on a day when it isnt that hot i find that i still drink a lot. I also take 3l of gatoraid with me each day and try to drink that, so min 5l per day.
