  1. i am in two minds about what has been done, in one sense i regard England to be a garden, in which man has landscaped throughout history so to maintain form, the tree should be removed and replaced. However, leaving the tree as it lays is surely just the landscaping of the 21st century??? There are no rules!!!!
  2. just sold my R6 due to family commitments. Now feel like i have a peice of me missing. But i still have a Yamaha Grizzly 600 if that counts? Ill take that back a quad owner can never be classed as a biker, sorry for any offence caused.
  3. if im not up a tree heres were ill be - www. int' boozer drinking copious amounts of beer and sending bob home pi.... err drunk to face the miissus.co.uk
  4. if things are tight ive got a marlow rope you can use as a replacement washing line.
  5. i bet you climb on the wifes washing line, its the only thing that passed the loler inspection.lol:001_tt2:
  6. because you posted on a online forum called arbtalk! doh.
  7. I take home what the job lets me!
  8. Ashley Jackson, well i used to deliver his news paper.lol.
  9. Is it for sale?
  10. I would like to think that someones choice of clothing should'nt effect there work method:001_smile:
  11. so are you saying there is more than one safe way to operate a saw within the tree?
  12. I agree, however heat was the factor for the consideration of wearing type A trousers, so from this we must asume that the assumption is that type C trouses offer greater protection when operating the saw. The procedure of making ourselves aware of the risks and mitigation should be there regardless off what type of ppe we wear.
  13. Its seems to me that those who wear type A feel the need to justify themselfs. Im not the most efficant climber but i don't find type C hamper me in any way, if you choose not to wear them thats fine, but lets not forget that there are those who use this site to further there knowledge. What you have posted is fine for someone of your experience but we should be looking to offer advice to those who are new to the industry, and i don't believe you would let your employees climbe and operate a saw in type A.
  14. NO. But nor do i use risk assessment to justify not doing. my argument is not about who wears what and why, it is about the miss use of risk assessment.
  15. I dont believe there is alot of emphasis on wearing type C, I do believe that all the newbees on this site should be encouraged to wear type C until they have the knowledge and experience to make that decision of there own backs.
  16. oh yes! but you are not alone:001_tongue:
  17. but if the heat is the risk, wearing lighter trousers would be the last option, if the work had to be done at that time. By conducting a risk assessment other options should have been sort first such as more breaks extra fluid intake etc. etc. or dare i say it the use of a mewp which would eliminate exertion. I love the way people use risk assessment when it benifits there personal requirments. but then moan when it suggests techniqus that they do not favour. I would surgest that if people dont like wearing type C or just favour type A then just say so. I wear type C because i understand the benefits they offer and dont cast judgement on those who choose not to wear them.
  18. come on! how can a risk assessment justify not wearing type c trousers?
  19. 3dogs

    do you shoot?

    i shot my load in the shower this morning if thats what you mean!
  20. Can someone tell me how the Risk Assessment can be used to justify not wearing type C trousers when operating a chainsaw from a rope and harness?

  24. Good!! Deserved every bullet if you ask me. Atleast they won't have to feed him in prison.
  25. I had to go to an alotment to finish a poplar that some numptys had started with they aid of said B&Q C/saw and ladder they were meant to be doing a 30% reduction but some how this was enterpreted as a reduction of 1/3. I got the phone call once they had cut all the easy bits, they only thing i could do was top the whole thing as they had done so much damage, it was so bad the only way i could work on the tree safely was to spike it.
