  1. Edward - IMO your best bet would be to buy a tree ident book or two. My suggestions would be either the 'Collins Tree Guide' (£25 roughly) or a 'Dorling Kindersley handbook called 'Trees' by Allen J. Coombes (£14 roughly)
  2. Agreed - bloody big chipper!
  3. Lots of hours
  4. Sadism is very under-rated (especially where thieves are concerned!)
  5. You could rigg up a strobe light to capture the 'Full Experience' on your cameras
  6. Good job!
  7. Generally wrist thickness or above as a general rule - however it is dependant on species
  8. I hope that you get it back Bob - and moreover I hope they've got the culpritts! I know what my reaction would be to thieves like this and I would probably be the one in trouble at the end of the day!
  9. Monkeyd - Excellent example of fracture pruning. All power to you elbow!

    amicide

    Bill - Amicide's active ingredient is 'Ammonium Sulphamate' and as such all products containing this chemical were withdrawn from the market in May 2007 - there were at the time 13 products on the market that used 'Ammonium Sulphamate ' in their make up, you may still be able to find one as suppliers are able to sell it until May 2008
  12. treebogan - I am sure you forgot 1. All Food 2. All Drinks
  13. Thanks Arborist - I wasnt sure !
  14. Tockmal - I believe that Arbassure are in some way associated with Norwich Union. Trust insure via Lloyds syndicates. I decided to go with Trust - as they only do arb insurance I think?!
  15. Big A - Spot on - Couldnt have said it better myself
  16. Nice Chair!
  17. Congratulations! Well Done! - remember what you were taught, and now you can add to those skills.
  18. Tim If I were in your position I would choose to do the Tech. Cert - as this will enable you to support your lifestyle / family, gain experience and fund your NPTC's - Especially if you feel the canopy calling! All the best whatever you decide
  19. 900 hours ?
  20. Tockmal - I believe that the NFU are competitive (as per some of the other posts on this thread however I think you've got all of the major players. (When I was looking around last year the only one I didnt try was the NFU) - I didnt know if it was a market that they insured in. Lycetts (formerly Algarve) Bryant and Kesick Trust Arbassure Unless anyone knows differently?
  21. Come on then Bob - how many hours?
  22. Ivy - Hate it! sever on the way up all the time.
  23. My 357 runs like a dream - only problem I have ever had wth it was a split fuel line
  24. O.K - Second guess TW150 with 208.7 hours
  25. Someone told me I was too old to start climbing at 34 'Red rag to a bull' saying something like that to me! - I'm now 43 and getting fitter by the day!
