There are also protective sleeves that can be worn instead of a jacket, not some thing I have ever used myself. As Paul says safe working practise is the real answer, as PPE only offers limited protection and is very much a last line of defence.

There speaks a man who has never had a mog

Yes but if its spread over many trips, you get plenty of rest

What are you going to post a vid of your awesome skill??????

I had no idea you were so arrogant.

Humping timber is bad on your back and joints, not good for you:thumbdown: Climbing is mostly cardio, very good for you Plus you use a 3.5 tonne truck, so you only load a half dozen logs before your full I have a 10tonne payload, so loading by hand for us would be a bit much

Very true Andy, not just climbers
-
Or they can just employ a climber who's better or cheaper than you

:scared1: Not my experience, my wife does not work and has not done for the last 18 years and we have 4 children. We have never used credit cards and have only had a business overdraft for the last 12 months. Personally I think if you work hard and are sensible with your money a decent climber will easily support his family, by running his own small crew.

But thats not a fair comparison, you have to take into account the time taken loading and securing the ladders at the yard and taking them home at the end of the day. Personally I really don't see the point of ladders, unless your doing dozens of trees in the day, where they are just being pruned and there are no branches within reach. Its OK not wanting to climb the first 25ft, but surely that 25ft is part of what keeps you fit and able to climb the rest of the tree with ease. Its funny how the advocates of ladders are also those who post about going to the gym or what exercises are best for keeping fit for tree work I'll keep climbing all the tree and keep not needing to train

Fred is one of my heroes too, I remember that episode, they fell that Pop to make brake blocks for his steam engine. Apparently Pop was the traditional timber for brake blocks.

Don't touch it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who sells something when they are away If they were straight they would arrange for you to view some how. Its a scam, IMO.

Surely the main thing is the circumstances of the accident, any one with experience of the task in hand will easily tell if it was caused by stupidity, corner cutting or a genuine accident care was being taken.

Ladders are great, fat lads love them!!!

I would imagine the council TPO'd the tree, otherwise the developer would probably of removed it.
-
I really don't find climbing in the rain dangerous, if anything its tidying up in the rain that I hate.

You just needed to jack the front up, put a block of wood between the beam axel and the chassis on the none flat side, remove the punctured wheel, then drive home on three wheels
-
The guy sounds like a clown who you should have stopped using long before this incident, but to resort the assault and theft is outrages!!! What gives you the right to treat someone like that?? OK you can't undo the assault, but you should certainly give him his saw back, pay him his wage and apologise, IMO.

No as far as I'm aware your user name and password for here should work. I've just been on to arbtrader and logged on no problem.

Its not life support, so whats the problem?? even if it failed, you would go no where.

Do tell!!!!

Their solicitor will have told them about the TPO's, as they would come up when they did their "search".
