i just use normal steel rigging ones, i prefer to have locking ones but i guess the ones in the picture are very light so good for tons on your harness.

being seen more easily is plus point for arb work and traveling on a road, cant reallly see any arguments against it to be honest. as for cyclists moaning about driver awareness?!! its kind of hard to be aware of something if you havent seen it,so why not help others to see you. there are so many different types of hi-vis clothing available for work these days comfort shouldnt be a problem. carl

yes he mentioned they where good on another thread. thanks carl
-
bump.... anyone treat themselves over christmas???
-
all i can say is thank god kevin bingham invented the rope wrench!!! started aching and pantin just watching that.:)
-
how often do you need to go off road with chip?
-
Bucket Trucks / MEWPs etc - safer than climbing?
carlos replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Climbers talk
using that mewp as an anchor is going to be way safer and more ergonimic than any dodgy anchor he,s going to find in the top of the hedge round by his ankles! ok its not by the book but as long as you know your machine and its limits id say thats ok, ive worked from the end of a hi-ab a good few times works really well. carl -
did you have the normal breath flexes before? how do they compare, look like a good trouser. carl.
-
what a nightmare, badly stacked brash is bad enough without someone trying to wrestle it off you!!! i would have told him he could take if he was really pushed!
-
will be following this thread, seems you get a lot of saw for your money(if it lasts ok) hope the build goes well for you. carl
-
poor fella i hate seeing vids of things going wrong when it looks like the people new what they where doing, hope hes alright.
-
cool project, doesnt look like its seen much work? or else you cleaned it up well! hope you get it going well. i have an old 254 which is a bit tempermentle, still cuts well though considering its age.
-
i think its a washing line tensioner!
-
looks great, hows the stability looks pretty narrow on the tracks, how are the controls for steering?, smooth enough to turn with out ripping grass up? glad your getting on well with it. carl
-
is it not meaning there is no protection in the trousers from the dangers of electrocution with a mains electric saw???
-
yet another impressive vid by august hunikie , id say you would want to know what you were doing before putting that much load on your gear!! mega lumps.
-
i find these threads regarding rigging interesting but i must admit in my years of doing tree work i have never once known the weight of any bit of wood i have rigged! any one else the same?? carl
-
is that thing in the poplar video?? was pretty incredible what they were doing with it. yes it does look like the arb equivalent of an aston martin or maclaren, very very nice but never gonna own one.
-
your C.V is all your education and jobs ect to date it doesnt have to be arb related ,. a guy got a trainee job where i work and he had no manual work experience at all, just office stuff and a degree, put in a good covering letter, got the job and was a great worker. where there,s a will there,s a way. and whilst draggin brash one can always look around and learn and ask questions, plus if you put your back into it it shows your new boss what your made of and in a good company that can pay dividends later on when you want more training or a chance to climb etc. carl.

probably a cheap and easy fix, the work saws are always snapping no biggy really
-
workers just doing there job shouldn't be put in the firing line. threatening workers and their families over a tree??? i like trees but i think thats a bit ott. carl
-
oh ok i understand the principle of the wind blowing a tree over, i just didnt really see how the wind could of helped in the video but as you say not a great idea given the setting.
-
fair enough there pretty small saws.
-
although a back handled saw is more ergonomic with two hands on it i would find it a real pain to climb around on a prune and hard to get target cuts in.
-
how does that work?
