  1. Hi im looking for work as a freelance climber or a permanent job.

     

    I have been climbing for 8/9 years, have a lot of experience, and have been a team leader too. Im hard working with a professional attitude. Worked all over the UK and worked in sweden.

     

    Have all my own(good condition) climbing/rigging gear, saw's, tirfor ect...

     

    Own transport(4x4) and fully prepared to travel.

     

    Im based in sheffield.......please 07542926104 thanks Matt prady

     

    Forgot to say i have NPTC CS 30,31,36,38 and 39....and now a CSCS card too.......

  2. hmmm the NPTC one may well last a lift time but you can ONLY use it for tree work......

     

    i want it for tree work but using it for building work would be nice to..

     

    but even if you have the NPTC OR IPAF you cant work on meny building site with then even doing tree work on the sites..

  3. Hay steve you should read the rest of the post on treebuzz!! thay HATE this guy haha

     

    And he said on the other post he HAD to start the cut a lot lower because he him some metal in the tree so it was not planed like that!

     

    I thing fells like that ane over the top macho bull. I think its VERY dangerous to fell over 30% of the trees hight wile climbing.

  4. Gerbutt....i like pints not pies!

     

    Hay caddy the oak tree is in stockholm in a park on the same island as the Vasa Museum.

    very big tree all held together with old iron bands and full of concrete.

     

    Hay stig i think ill be emailing HAIX to and let them know i wont be buying their boots anymore! i think we all should........

  5. I will have to take them back i think but its 150 mile round trip and going to cost me 30 in fuel(4x4) i have heard of this happening befor to others with the newer HAIX boot the older ones seem a LOT better......i think ill get my dosh back and get some MEINDL Airstream Safety Boots insted.

  6. Hi all anyone have any problems with HAIX boots? im on my 4th pair now, but this pair (Haix Trekker Mountain) the sole is coming apart looks like some molding issue? its just on the right foot, not problems at all on the left one.

     

    i got them from buxton 3 months ago.....id take them back but then id have no boots to work in:001_huh:

  7. Hi im a self-employed climber if i knocked down a BT line in that way id id pay for it full stop. But legally making him pay is a different matter. as a self-employed climber he works for YOU. Self-employed climbers are not realy Subcontractor's the term used subbie is outdated. Id tell him if he wants more work he better pay up! then when he pay up..........dont have him back.

  8. ''Or do you just stick them through the chipper?'' WTF its a criminal offence to disturb nesting birds and to cause harm to ANY animal. you need to read the Animal Welfare Act.

     

    And its morally wrong too. And if you put it on hear that you do chip birds or other animals you will get a call from the police...

  9. thanks tommy. i see you have been splicing with O.S i have done a few days climbing with him hes a good lad and good a splicing! he done two for me.

     

    yes mark thats an oak looks very odd but......wot can ya do? job was to just take down the beech. well im 36 and doin good! haha but that day was very long ok now and then.....if the pay is right! ha
