  1. So that could mean every single time you climb a tree then!
  2. Some of them can do great things though. Look at Bill Gates, no one can deny the good he is now doing. I wont be climbing until the day I retire, I think you really need to love this job to stay in it that long.
  3. Amended.
  4. There speaks a man of experience.
  5. true, I suppose its impossible to compare without actually doing some tests.
  6. Brilliant:thumbup1:
  7. I would say yes. Especially if they are going to a party afterwards.
  8. Really bad criminal thing to do. Its no different than keying someones car, well actually its probably more like loosening the wheels nuts! Can you post a pic of the damage? Is probably best to fell and replant though.
  9. Cheers for the info. Do you know how a factory splice stands up to a standard(all by hand) splice? I imagine its stronger due to still having the core but is it much?
  10. Was just wondering how they do their splicing? Ie something like yale XTC they seem to keep the core intact inside the eye. How do they do it?
  11. Sounds good. What type of oregon did you used to use?
  12. Scary stuff indeed! Some very poor comments by people there.
  13. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFUEgFdP5zE]YouTube - INXS - Mediate[/ame]
  14. Surely there is only one poll? And no one has guessed what it is yet!
  15. Ladders for me . Only because its probably better aroarboricultural practice than spiking and friction damage caused by line throwing, rather than it being easier. Its only other tree workers that frown upon ladders, clients couldnt give a monkeys.
  16. Shameless:001_rolleyes: It sounds like you need a new tank. Take a few pics and post them on here.
  17. I voted for stihl v husky as its an arb forum and more relevant to me. Besides anything with landy or toymota in the thread title is simply easy to ignore by not opening it.
  18. Sounds like they are worth the money then. Whether I can still part with the cash though is another thing.
  19. Are they that good? I was looking at the stretch air ones but at £40 a pop that would be £200 worth of t shirts for the week!
  20. Congrats to all of you. Not forgetting the docs and nurses.
  21. How could anyone for get your mother!!!
  22. Anyone that advertises Katie Price and Kerry Katona should be shot and buried. Honestly does anyone care if they take another breath? Although the most annoying thing of the 21st century is the garbage that is pop idol/xfactor/britains got talent/celebrity on ice/strictly come dancing/so you think you can dance, crap. Anyone who votes for the above needs a well good slapping.
  23. You need to ask them. If its just a conservation area and not under tpo then a quick email with the details should sort it out.
  24. When I get chest coughs/infections they seem to last an age. Not had one for awhile though thankfully.
  25. Felled a dead one, seen plenty more that look dead but also a few that have no signs at all of frost damage. Wonder if its certain species that are more susceptible?
