  1. any idea what headests are gd for price?
  2. Little it worrying though. Good starting out with small saw..but has someone through all the safe practices of using a chainsaw? Just if you struggle with basic maintainance then chances are someone has not shown you everything you need to know. get yourself on small safety and maintainance course sounds like go idea. be safe.
  3. razorwire? Cameras with night vision ( several ). large gates with tough padlock and chain. security alarm.
  4. looking for good headsets must have decent range and be clear. not to expensive would be a bonus. any ideas?
  5. VERY TRUE. usually 1 wrap on portawrap does the job though..you need to get feed back from groudie though...how was the weight on that chunk?? like you said communication is the key. So i am of the buy communication headsets today:001_cool:
  6. yeah another thing is to always make sure the kinks are out of the rope always keep the rope in bag and make sure there is no twigs in the way that can get snagged in rope.
  7. what about this!!! Daaaang! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE5Ewgv1Zic&NR=1]YouTube - Old Time Tree Climbing[/ame]
  8. bought a pack a few months ago. Keep it van all the time. I think its important that all staff on site know how to apply it correctly. Might be better buying 2 packets as there doesn't seem like there is much in 1
  9. I wasn't taking out a Massive head. Just enough weight on it so it would run with 1 wrap.
  10. I find if i am working hard.i don't stop till everything is done...which means i sometimes forget to eat. All hard climbing and no eating leads to chronic fatigue which leads to stress. sometimes i suppose the best thing to do when the going gets to tough..is to take a holiday
  11. The LET IT RUN!!! Taking down 80ft sitka spruce the other day..rigging it all down. First cut taking out large head...groudsman held it tight. I smacked my face of the stem as i got a mouth full of sitka .. got thrown all around..face hurting today. So when the climber tells you what to do..pay attention and do what he asks please.
  12. just watched it...that guy has skills. What a life though..great get hold of a nice peice of land and build yer own house
  13. depends how busy you are as a business. I would just price time and half like you said. If it is a good costumer price as normal. I only charge high when the costumer is an arse..or if the look down on tree surgeons as thick gardeners.
  14. was that it!!! I was all excited yesterday to see what it was. :mad1:
  15. where Are you located in Aberdeenshire?. i know plenty good climbers up there.
  16. thanks for all the advice. info to think on before i buy. :thumbup:
  17. all i want is a good little chipper and reliable crewcab van. I don't want to get into large finance payments! want to keep out of debt. i am sure unimogs etc are good for site clearance/large jobs etc..but most of my work is in gardens with tight driveways.
  18. ok will check it out. Ldv is bollocks! the one i got keeps falling apart..every month something goes wrong...costs me a fortune!
  19. Whats the best transit tipper for tree work.? Looking to get rid of my hunk of junk LDV and buy 1 year old crewcab tipper..But need advice on whats the best type to buy? Thanks.
  20. haaaaha! just saw your avator pic...very funny.
  21. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ha,ha . Man thats funny.
  22. they say that testostorone levels drop the older you get....solution...doing 2 sets of 20 reps squats just as you get out of bed in the morning..beofre eating anything boosts testostorne levels.
  23. 30 yrs of it is impressive. age is just a number though. lots of people in there 50's that are fitter than some people in the 20's
  24. 26. strength is easier than endurance. Cycling gets you legs of steel though!
