He he looks like:001_smile: It was just a random image I grabbed from google. Well as random as 'can of worms' brings up anyway Ladders are a good plan for rescuing and tbh we carry them with us most of the time anyway, although there not that big, 8 metres at a guess.

Just had a look at the vid and you know what for £200 it doesnt look bad:laugh1: Now we know how all those bad pruning cuts happen on the street trees:sneaky2: Looks like it can do the job, OK it prob wont last as long and I doubt it could be thrown about alot but a couple of jobs would more or less see it paid off.

No worries about any delays in replying I think we all appreciate the fact that you do reply and provide info:thumbup1: Your right I should have said practice since thats what I meant and not training tbh:blushing: I just see it that a 'groundie' with an ariel ticket would need an awful lot of regular practice to be effective in a emergency situation. I wouldnt like to rely on me rescuing me tbh, if you understand. Maybe we should all have a MEWP on site standing by just in case:001_tongue: [ATTACH]30921[/ATTACH]

Thats terrible news:thumbdown: I bet not one of them took a photo of you. Best to look on the brightside................Coulda been worse,coulda been me! Only JK, doesnt sound like a good day at all. Especially having to mess about with methane an all.

There was one somewhere and iirc the outcome was if an LA specified that AA approval was required to tender then you can get it turned around and give them a slapping at the very least:001_smile:

Thats fine. As long as the rest of us are going quicker than the artic's then not a prob, its when someone is doing 55 and there is a q of artics trying to over take:thumbdown:

Gotta be a reasonable price imo. I only turn up with a truck,chipper and some saws but charge £75 an hour!!

I've done both(had to for the contract we were working on at time) but they failed to put it on my NPTC card so dont know where I stand tbh. Not that anyone has ever asked me to show it to then and that was 10 years ago.

Anyone doing less than 56 on a motorway in a vehicle that can go faster needs a right good slapping:sneaky2:

That prob goes for us all, well I doubt anyone wants a bad non paying customer. Getting them is another thing though!

Nice vids and a very nice bit of felling.

How about this one! Parrot AR.Drone - Quadrotor helicopter with wifi and 2 cameras - AR.Drone games for iPhone and iPod touch

Isnt it just something to do with helmets and steel toe caps being exempt and thats it? MAybe gloves not sure, but would guess its to do with construction industry rather than just arb related. Jonsie will know:thumbup1:

Aint a clue on whats going on now!

I thought that LA's couldnt ask for stuff like AAAC? Isnt in fact breaching some legal stuff if they do? You cant say if you aint in this club you cant play, well not when its public money etc.

I doubt it. From my own experience if I've been away from climbing for just even a few weeks the first climb back definitely isnt the quickest or most efficient:blushing: If you need rescuing you want a 'hero' climber on the deck to come and get you. You know the ones, they nearly kill themselves to scale a tree in 10 seconds flat. Might not be any good at tree work but speed is everything to them:001_smile:

Something to do with when the run the saw a sticker or something on the exhaust melts so they know its been ran up to temperature?

Maybe they just fecked up on the quote and under priced themselves, does happen, been a few threads on here about it! Or they have lads standing about doing nothing and need to pay some wages. Or they cut a few corners here and there to save afew quid:sneaky2: Or the rest of you are taking the p155 with your prices.

Oi I said that and got a :lol:

I bought a load of tips from ebay (german guy) which were great. But since he doesnt sell them anymore I started buying from another source and bought the silver solder separate from a local welding supplier (the other tips came with the silver solder as little flat pieces) for some reason they wouldnt stick to the teeth. They looked good but kept finding them either falling off or shattering then falling off, dont know which tbh. Just ended up buying a job lot of new teeth off ebay and have nearly used them all up so will be looking to source some tips if any know's a good supplier.

What is it Kubota?

Cheers for the explanation:thumbup1: I see its more down to roofers,scaffolders,construction etc than purely down to tree work which I thought it was. Although I would have liked to have been exempt though:001_smile: Everything thats costs does have an impact on my business no matter how small the cost is. We have all had the "It's only £20 a week for a new XXXX, surely thats affordably" Well it probably is just like everything else I have to pay for but when it all adds up! A lot of us are small 2/3 man bands and having to have a groundie trained up, buy all the necessary climbing gear,get it LOLER'D every 6 months() plus probably the most important bit having them train and re train all the time to make sure that they have a least a little bit of speed about them does seem to cost a bit and not really benefit me enough. I would think that if you need to be rescued due to a serious injury, major bleed or suffocation problem then it would have to be a very very good/quick rescuer to take charge of the situation, get theie gear on, get to you and rescue you within say 5 minutes or so by which time you are probably going to be dead tbh. I think my resources and time can be spent better elsewhere. Although since I am a climber and have the ticket CSnot sure did it that many years ago and I am always on site when others are climbing my moaning doesnt really matter I suppose.

That would be half of us choir signing then:blushing: Theres a little supermarket by me that has 2 disabled specs. Can always guarantee some non disabled idiot parked there, more often than not have seen some total greedy git park across BOTH spaces thumbdown: Some people just dont give a hoot.

Just wondering if anyone knew why we need to have a rescue climber? Dont say its to rescue if a climber gets injured. I am comparing it to say a truck driver who does need a passenger in case he falls asleep and cause's a pile up. Has a detailed piece of research been carried out to show that climbers are highly likely to have an accident and need rescuing? IME everyone I know(including myself) who has had an accident up a tree has self rescued and I dont know any that have asked for or needed rescuing. I can obviously see the benefits of having a rescue climber at hand in the very rare occasion they may be required but tbh unless the rescue climber is a true climber who climbs every day then I would prefer they just called an ambulance got the first aid kit out and made sure access to me was as clear as possible.
