    There was a time where people had the decency not to post contents of private messages/emails etc. Those days seem to be gone. Seeing screenshots of private messages posted on facebook has become the norm. I am very cautious who I private message any sensitive information to these days. Always assume that people have no scruples and you wont go far wrong.

    care to expand on that?

    Which topper??

    Shooter replied to Simon77's topic in Chainsaws

    I think the 360 cuts a bit better than the 201 but I still prefer the Stihl. Feels better in the hand and seems more robust

    Thats some responsibility there! Wouldn't like the grinder to kick up
  5. Shooter
    Perhaps he was wearing these

    In light of some recent videos which show people doing particularly stupid things, it got me to thinking, what safeguards/procedures do you have in place to weed out such climbers from your staff. For example, its sometimes obvious from watching someone over a short period of time what their weaknesses are. Perhaps they are super quick round the tree and pretty capable, but then have no common sense are likely to kill themselves or someone else. Would you get rid of them, demote them, or just hope for the best?

    Never tried that type, is it so bad? Or do you guys generally not like canned fish?

    Reduction Pruning

    Shooter replied to RC0's topic in Video forum

    Theres rarely that many reductions done in this country that don't require cutting and holding to some extent. Poles aren't much use in those scenarios. Plus you can rarely get in position to do perfect angled cuts, even with a rotating lopped head attachment.

    I think you'll find its only cheap if you buy a container load at a time, unless I misread your post

    Thanks. interesting to see how its developed in quite a short space of time really

    I thought SRT was a recently new phenomenon for arborists, so I was surprised to just stumble across this article on Treebuzz dated 2002 http://treebuzz.com/pdf/SingleRope.pdf Obviously the rope wrench changed everything, but were people using SRT back in 2002 for work positioning or was it purely access?

    i'm aware of Husky's advice on how to warm start these saws, but doesn't seem to make much difference in the hot weather. They just don't seem to like it

    How long have these been around for to be contained in such a small area still?
  14. Shooter
    So....pleased to say things have changed a little. Have been given quite a few opportunities to climb lately and its made a lot of difference. Still have a long way to go though
  15. Shooter
    yes I did make it clear I want to climb. I will give it a bit more time and do as you suggest I think, continue trying to make a good impression.

    I am probably being paid a fair wage for my experience. Being taken advantage of was maybe a poor term to use. Basically I just meant am I wasting my time somewhere I am never getting a chance
  17. Shooter
    Thanks. Lots of feedback from this to think about
  18. Shooter
    I'd rather be just told that than hang on in the hope I will get a chance.
  19. Shooter
    I paid for my tickets. I did ask the boss and was told I will get my turn.
  20. Shooter
    I'm pretty new to he industry. I have all my tickets but am not really getting the opportunity to climb much. I realise theres a pecking order but I sometimes wonder if I am just being taken advantage of and if I will ever be giving the chance. I have climbed twice in about 6 months. Is it time to move on?
  21. Shooter
    This is what I have. They are my first boots so I have nothing to compare them to. I am happy with them though, they are comfy and didn't take too much breaking in
  22. Shooter
    I climbed on a sequoia in college for a while. It was confortable but did feel flimsy to me also
