looking for suggestions on good books or websites on sensitive tree care for older trees, just looking to learn more about retaining trees with defects etc. thanks carl.

the jensen 530,s tracked seem good, get one that the tracks can narrow down on.
-
thats sad to hear, his gear is some of the best designed and well made in the industry imo. RIP.

are those top handles 193,s? bars look very big!

we planted a mullberry for a client a while back, i think its been grafted onto a long trunk, any way one side has really vigorous growth and the other side has slow poor growth with some die back. over the last few years we have pruned back the good side to maintain an even crown. client is not happy with the tree and might remove it, so wondering about either removing the poor side or pruning it hard back maybe with a view to a pollard cycle. how do people normally prune mullberries? anything specific? sorry no photos at present. thanks carl

sounds like you got lucky to me. i wouldnt of been pleased to get a trades person out and agree a price for the job only to have them turn up on the day and say its going to cost a load more to do the job! (obviously if the spec had changed then thats different).

he must have really wide feet!

i got it and enjoyed watching it, i havent actually put much of it into practice if iam honest, most of the trees i climb are small and some of the techniques where pretty complicated and better suited to larger more sprawling trees. plenty of info in the series and definatlly inspires one. so yes i thought it was worth getting. carl.

i dont think its CE marked.
-
same here really, somtimes base tie to a different tree out of the way if its just a quick bit of work on the tree. top tie for me just feels better, safer and easier to use.
-
they cant be too desperate for a repair then!!! shame as 361 is a lovely saw
-
cool thanks , i just thought if there was not much of a difference then i may as well get the CE stuff, i like the non CE cougar, the only gripe is that it goes into more of a square profile when used with the bulldog bone, this can make advancing the bulldog have a bit more resistance as the square profile can turn and become wider. any other ropes that are good for the bulldog bone ?? thanks carl
-
no sorry just rope blah ....mind you with some of the derails you never know!
-
has anyone used the non CE stuff side by side with the CE marked stuff?? i have heard the CE stuff has more stretch. i have used the non CE stuff for a while and have been happy with it. thanks carl

https://www.freeworker.de/en/2019/05/16/baumpflegetage-2019-highlights-novelties/ the new 2019 version and its upgrades makes me think it could be a common problem!

a friend was climbing today and realised his bridge wasnt right,he came down and the outer sheath looked okish but the core felt as if it was missing, so he cut it and at least 2 strands of the core had disintegrated , now im not sure how much strength the core provides, but it seem a bit worrying a rope can fall apart inside the outer sheath! anyway if you use this harness it would be worth double checking. i think there maybe another similar thread about this on here. thanks carl

thanks for the replies, just going to go with plain plaster boards and fibreglass as the insulated boards i got a price on wernt suitable for ceilings and the right ones where more again. got a pretty small budget to throw at the house so dont want to go too mad in one area and not be able to do other work that needs to be done, enjoying it all so far , especially now the weather is good. thanks again, carl.

starting to insulate the loft, i ended up taking down the t+g ceiling board down, i was going to put up plaster board then put rockwool above , but i have been looking at plaster board with foam insulation on the back and i thought this may be an easier option, any thoughts?? also it seems people put a serious amount of insulation in there loft!!? is this really necessary , iam keen to keep as much space and air around the timbers. thanks carl

looks like a great project, id love to get a big old camper again( well newer the better actually!)
-
its a mechanical srt device, a few threads on them on here, good bit of kit that works well imo.
-
often thought the same, i use a lockjack for double and bulldogbone for srt( good build quality and works well)
-
i get tons of rope dust and fibres from my bulldogbone on srt, id say its normal , but doesent look great.
-
sorry to hear about your break in. echo 501sx is a great small saw ( no elec carb) we have run 201tcms and a husky 560 for a good while now with next to no running problems, maybe you just got unlucky with your elec carb saws?? any way hope you source some good saws and get back cutting soon. carl

Base anchor pulling capability’s vs isolated fork
carlos replied to TTownsend's topic in General chat
we nearly always throwline through a fork and tie down the back at the base, seems to work fine and a lot easier than climbing.
