seems a bit strange to spend all that money on gear and insurance but none on training? and for some free firewood!! is the insurance even valid with no tickets?

was he not originally saying 50 an hour ie 400 a day?
-

-
so for you to sub in a good climber and groundie for a day is going to set you back 800 quid?? or is that employed on the books....

Drayer Tango StatX 11.5 Static Rope
carlos replied to treevolution's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
well i like the xstatic, flys through the device like a dream, bad points, doesnt take knots so well and hard to grip when ascending, i still like it though. afraid i havent tried the other rope in question. carl -
stick it on done deal and hope to god someone else is mad enough to buy it off you!!!
-
cant you just use it with the ones fitted on the inside as per your first photo? id imagine they would be fine for most kind of cutting.
-
stick up some photos, someone will be able to help, sounds a bit odd to me.

i would always take my cambium saver out if i was finished in the tree and the cambium saver was nearby, then just put your mainline rope around a suitable anchor branch and descend, much easier than trying to retrieve the cambium saver from the ground. i would always try and ensure i had enough rope to get to the ground through out the climb

steve , how was the weight comparison? sounds like a pretty impressive saw
-
what about the tree in the background of the second photo? looks like there is a bit of decay at the base( iam not saying it whether it needs felling or not)
-
he probably would of died!!! but he,s spent a lifetime climbing some of the worlds biggest and sketchiest trees to become one of the top arborists in the world, so he didnt put in a bum cut! that video blew my mind the first time i saw it, a blend of big balls and a lot of technical skill

i think legally your not meant to burn stuff, i guess if you have an arsey neighbour then it could be a problem, ive burnt loads of stuff if it has a lot of nails in it.
-
id use a angle grinder with a thin disc to take the nail heads off, when removing the tin rather than trying to pull the nails out. it might be an idea to let the digger take down the roof timbers if you are going to burn them, a lot easier and safer than ladders and chainsaw.
-
too hard to say with thoses photos, it could be well stuck in the euc in which case it may be better to climb up and free it first. ive found that things that look like they are barely hanging on can often be very hard to dislodge!!
-
i dont find it down on power compared to the old petrol one, probably not as robust but then again the old petrol one always seemed to need new shaft bearings. try the weight of one if you get a chance.. theres a big difference.
-
id say go battery if you can, much lighter, no noise or fumes.
-
i think to be honest you have answered your own question, you filled your saw with his "special fuel mix" and it wouldnt start!!!! btw i know nothing about fuel mixes, always used 50:1 as i have never had a problem with it and i assume the saw manufactures know what works best in their saw. i think if people are tweaking the ratio it tends to be more oil not less but i could be wrong.

how do these compare to meidl airstreeams? ive always had and liked airstrreams but we cant get hold of them at the moment. thanks carl
-
in the op,s opening posts the reason for the application was to do with tree safety and neighbor's listed building and yet in the pdf application link it only states suckers and roots being a nuisance? has there been any recent landscaping or returfing carried out around the rootzone of the tree? carl

spending some time with a throwline to get your mainline near the top of the tree will make spiking up much easier, rather than just relying on your lanyard.

i tried with a sprayer and found the creosote to thick to spray out properly.
