Not me on the red bull mate. . Stopped drinking that stuff years ago. That was the guy I was working for. Saw was an 088 with large bar, I think 42", not exactly sure but a large stihl one without the sprocket in the nose.

Another big butt for Jon.

I find when I arrive I look up and think what a ball ache... It is only a mental thing though. I just convince myself to get on with it. I tell myself the more I cut the less I have left to cut. I must admit though when they are finished and look good (like yours does) I enjoy the feeling.

I don't use a 201 mate, as I have still a couple of 200's left. but I do fit a bina in the ring after I have fitted a strop. The fabric from the strop sorta stops the bina moving about and makes it easier to clip high than the rings on the strops.
-
Nice work Adam. Do you still enjoy that kind of work?
-
That's the spirit soldier! Keep up the rehab mate. All the best Andy.

Haha, good one mate... wear out an arb rope.

Heal quick tree brother. Positive vide coming at ya from South London and Oslo.

Big chunks make big hunks.

Sounds like a jobsworth. For a start there is no such thing as a chainsaw license. Ask him if he has his Multi national haberdashers license? When he asks what it is explain he shouldn't be offering items for sale without one and then call 999.

I think that cut may have been used for a back leaning tree that is being winched. When the top is compromised due to dead you my not be able to get the pull line high enough. I have used that cut or similar (taught by and old school very experienced cutter) you don't need to have the winch line up too high so the back cut comes in below the bottom f the face. The lip stops the winch pulling the tree of the stump and losing it backwards.

Read that article and there are quite a few errors in there. I would take it as a pinch of salt. For eg. They say the Navara is the longest and oldest pickup on the market and the 2.5 engine blows up so that is why they went for the 2.3. So what about in 2010 when the facelift model came out with the new Renault 2.5 engine. Slight modifications to the body and front end, new engine chosen to try and eliminate the problems they had with the earlier model. It also got more HP with the new engine. I am looking to change my Navara at some point and toying with the thought of getting a nice family motor and a van of sorts for working or go for a new pickup?

I don't mind negative rigging. I will do it more often than chogging.

Never did fancy the idea of an elasticated handsaw strop. It would have a tendency to get trapped and I don't fancy being carved up by a silky springing back at you. Saw pod is an option. I just clip the scabbard to my harness and try not to drop the silky.

You obviously didn't have good ones then mate. My 200t's run like a scalded greyhound. Thanks for your advice but I'll stick with what I know.
-
All the best mate and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. Take it easy mate and I hear VOSA have just issued a new set of guidelines. Just in time for you to get stuck into!
-
Nice work mate. That last piece bounced a bit.

I am not humane when it comes to vermin mate. They want a war, they 'kin got one now...! The gloves are off. At the moment I have 5 mouse traps set in the kitchen and 2 poison runs. I do think the poison stuff has worn off though .
-
Anyone got advice for mice? Got traps set in the kitchen. We read on the web that they don't like the smell of peppermint, so the missus has soaked cotton wool with peppermint oil and left in draws and where ever we see the mouse crap. I bait the traps and even bought new ones as I only ever seem to catch in fresh traps. Hence the smell of death. We see crap in the morning and the next evening I trap the area and they only poo elsewhere. Today I found mouse crap on the peppermint soaked cotton wool - so much for that method the cheeky buggers. Please don't suggest a cat as I hate cats.

It's a hard life rupe having to work in such disgusting spots
-
Try making things simpler and stop calling hired help, whether ground staff or climber, subbies. They aren't, they are freelance climbers or groundsman.
-
It all good mate. Just had the kids for 4 days whilst the missus is away. Probably the reason my head frazzled haha. Keep them coming.
-
Nice tidy job there mate.
-
Some good work in there but to be honest mate the flashing or over exposing effect does my eyes in. Or I am just tired. Haha. Keep em coming. Cheers

Cheers Mark and Rob. I love turning up to a job blind and working it out on the fly. Luckily I had the camera charged and the sun was out to record it. Pure luck.
