    Thanks David. One of the locals in the flats close by sat there watching and getting covered in crap. The other side of the road had a roof terrace or similar, they seemed to enjoy the show. At ground level we had a few people who came up and were stood watching from the other side of the road. The dude on the Avant stacked the timber with the rot closest to the footpath so people could see the extent of the decay. I though that was nice touch. I think a lot of people who regularly used that route or worked near by saw the damage caused to the Audi when it was written off. The car park were were rigging into was for a mountaineering / climbing shop. They were pretty much sat out side for a lot of the time or behind the windows. They made us plenty of coffee! :thumbup1: We have another one Thursday with DED.

    We have sent the boss on drone flying lessons as we have another large Elm with DED to come out on thursday. Might try and just do the whole vid from the drone.

    Thanks Tom. Yes I ran the ropes at the start of the job then a one of the employees who is getting better with every trip I do out here, he did some of the brash. Aaron did a cracking job in the tree. I was on the hobbs for the timber and felled the stem over. Haha, Adam, it was a good day and a great laugh. Always more fun with a bit of banter and p taking. That lump was proper heavy though. I cut out the footage of him blowing kisses at the drone and camping it up in the tree as the company are going to use the vid on the company pages. I really wanted to use the Benny Hill music when Tomas was in the Avant lifting timber, but again it might not of looked too good. I also had to cut out the footage of Ian flying the drone into one of the ropes and ripping the propellors off. Haha, I have never seen him move so quick to catch it. Arbormonkey, thanks for your comment.

    We were called to remove a large Elm in the city centre of Oslo last week. The tree had lost a limb the week earlier and had written off a rather expensive Audi, totalled it..! The rear stem which failed was not looking the best and white rot at the failure point. We had rig the tree due to location and a crane was decided against due to the location, Tram lines, foot fall as it would have taken the space up needed for the trucks and chipper. Timber was shifted with the Avant. We had a few gopro's on site and the boss had recently splashed out on a rather luxurious drone. So we snapped a bit of footage with that. Another climber, Aaron climbed this one, myself and two others ran the ground. We managed to get some good footage. Anyway, enough waffle. Watch in HD and I hope you enjoy. Any questions feel free to ask. [ame] [/ame]

    That pretty much sums it up. It is largely location dependent. do you know any other freelance climbers in your area? Ask them what they charge.

    Nice work Adam.
  9. Rich Rule
    Excellent. I don't own one personally but a few of the firms I work for have them. The amount they can shift in a short time is incredible. Doesn't seem like five years they have been out. Well done Reg, you invented a winner there mate.

    I saw the trailer for this a while back... On a flight at the moment but Ill check it out when I get back on terra firma.

    Not sure what you mean mate. We are a metric nation don't you know. Except when travelling or talking to older people I am not too hot on conversion rates but 7 metres is a bit larger than 22.9inches

    I never use a top handled saw whilst in contact with the ground. I just jump whilst blipping the throttle.

    Try Pete mctree mate. He has a thread in the employment section looking for work in that area.

    Not even a MkIII... Haha, Phedders, I like your style. The BDB makes the zz look like it is fabricated out of a kit kat wrapper.

    Dust mask

    They usually have replaceable filters as well as coming in skull prints etc. for those tree climbers into death metal.

    Horrible to wear. Unbearable for climbing IMO and very hot and sweaty. If you have to use on though, we used to use the ones cyclists in the city use. Most decent bike shops sell them, including halfords.

    'Tommy the Tit' should be his new user name!

    Tabata is the name of the workout. You could do anything as long as you follow the rules and times. Sprints, hitting a heavy bag, tuck jumps, press ups, bench press anything... Edit: 20 seconds of drinking Stella and 10 second break will not get you fit.
  19. Rich Rule
    Good stuff David.
  20. Rich Rule
    I think the tyres will be ok but being a Landy, it is probably terminal, only a matter of time. (I'll duck now ready for the barrage)
  21. Rich Rule
    Benn, do the tabata workout with a sledge hammer and a tractor tyre. 4 min warm up 20 seconds all out 10 second recovery. 8 sets 4 minute cool down. A whole workout done in 12 minutes that has been scientifically proven to increase anaerobic capacity, strength, speed and vo2 max. This type of workout is pretty special as it will benefit sprinters, weigh lifters and marathon runners. A pure anaerobic workout that increase aerobic capacity...? Go figure! But it works.

    Box cut or coos bay cut as described by Gerry Beranek in the fundamentals of general treework.

    It is a Finnish tongue twister. My mates Finnish wife used to say it to us when we were drunk.

    Nothing wrong with getting stuck in. Buying a hiab, mini loader, (Boxer, Avant etc) will increase you productivity no end in 99% of cases. It will also reduce the risk of a bad back. The old fashioned handball it out is what does peoples backs in. Innovations in carb are even helping it out like the Arb Trolley or Muck truck. Think smarter not work harder and as a result you can be more productive.

    It looks like it has almost gone full circle. Two ropes and a baby bouncer technique.
