  1. i have a soft link.its good to know you just need to cut it and your free.the AA good climbing guide recomends having one. the only drawback i find is that it makes the link to my flip line longer and when im branch walking and my body is turned on a angle it rubs against my sliding d ring and can be awkard to loosen off my micro grab.Im thinking of using a double fishermans to make the link shorter so i dont get this problem.
  2. I would love just something, sent off for 3 jobs in the last 3 weeks ,not a word yet.(fingers crossed).if i hear off anything your end il pm you.
  3. monkyed you are truly the god of all fungi knowledge:adore: learnt alot from reading your posts and looking at your pics of them..TA.
  4. hello mate, fine thanks (looking for work).Was in BTs today sniffing around for work spoke to Graham there about the work situation. be seeing you again this year..youll have to put up with me again im afraid:001_tongue:or mutt.lucky pepole arnt you. want to do meduim trees, chainsaw from rope and harness ,or dismantles or chainsaw from a mewp. Hows things with you burr.
  5. glad im not alone..join the que treehugger:001_smile: im been looking for work Suffolk?norfolk for 3 weeks...not a sausage yet. Where are you.
  6. I noticed from reading cs38 ,rescue, that the list of brittle/ hazardous species is mentioned they dont mention fraxinus exclsior (ash). i thought that was a bugger to climb because of its included branches. thanks for putting this up Tony.
  7. cheers mate.Anyway if i did live down there we would constantly be on razz:cheers: hope you get someone soon.
  8. one of my old mates at college said that ,Arb proffessors or whoever looks at tree pyshiology in the intelectual world ,that there starting to think in terms of allowing pruning during sap flow on the basis it ' stops microboligcal attack as the sap flow pushing the water out stops nasties from getting in'.So the choice is the tree loses vital enregy V gets attacked by microorganisms. Im still out on that one.
  9. shame i dont live down there Mick.
  10. ...sum up that in the words for pepole like that...DARWIN award or soon to be!
  11. :001_smile:cant wait to get one Justin!
  12. Thats within crawling distance from us Steve:drunk:few jars and shoot some arrows!havnt shot for a while...il get me green tights.
  13. surley you must have to do that quite often every couple of years. Its basically a crown reduction then.
  14. Excuse the lack off knowledge.....whats haloing monkeyd?
  15. As usal lots of info from out there...thank you for awnsering my qery.
  16. i guess it would make branch walks diffcult too then, too much bounce in it would not give you much balance. good points. Thanks guys.
  17. As it asks above. Why do we not use rock climbers rope for tree work. Never understood it, can anyone enlighten me. safe working practices warn us off our tree climbers rope snapping if under too much weight if we fall, so why dont we have rope that has a bit more flexibilty in it?
  18. Thinking long term with the tree, This species layers well. You could if there was suffeceint length from a shoot lower to the ground layer it.leave it two years and then cut off the old growth and a new tree will grow up to replace it. saying that from the photo their dosnt seem to be any shoots low enough to do that. nice tree.
  19. would like to go again this year. i went with my college mates last year...loved.it..except the part where we all got blinding drunk drinking everything we could get our hands on, waking up to find a stag beetle in my under garments:scared1: and having a play fight with my mate who is 6ft wide an just as tall...lovely black eye i came back home to show my partner:001_tongue:
  20. i voted 26-50. the tension created on the upper/ outer most part of the crack stops it from spreading any further (reading mattechks book hazardous trees)).In saying that there is a lot of end weight on the branch end...so bit to much wind and good bye branch. if the ends not to heavy i think it would last longer.But the cracks slowly open as time goes by and will eventually fail.
