  1. But.... Wearing gloves, heated grips. The fact yr aching but breathing fresh air compared to johhny office boy choking on the 2 hr commute fumes back home. Opened caravan door after a full english n walked out in the frost. Saw the tall sitka n mist covering the warming up skidder n thought it was a dream. K
  2. ..... You did miss out the lovely sunrises ? K
  3. Yes, i am going to ' throw the shoe' at that one my boy. ? K
  4. My take on it is that it is more a step by step. So if you cannot guarantee on Gods green earth that anchor point wont snap, you have two anchor points which must be able to get you to ground. With, what ever height yr acheiving - rope systems. You also cannot allow a pendulum swing more than 2 m. Which handily 2Rope use should reduce. But then every tree is different and every job is different so make yr own mind up ! Oh..... And write it down beforehand then yr in the clear. Now, for LoLeR 98..my child ? K
  5. Be the last you saw of Spud... Fear and Loathing in Barnstaple ? K
  6. @KristofferNJ I have a conifer hedgecutting job on Saturday in Chelmsford , you available ? ? Nice truck tho mate, K
  7. Definately learn the timber handling skills plus safe felling , very easy to knacker yrself up. But then it's like most manual jobs like that. Watch yr back and yr hands. Probably safer now than it was. K
  8. It always looked fraught to me- completely different culture. One I do understand but wouldn't want to live or work there. At some point yr job gonna end anyway. K
  9. Dear god. Sanatogen tonic wine n yr Stirling Moss ? K
  10. You'll kill yrself ! Swhy i aint got motorcycle anymore. K
  11. A mate went out there years ago on ridiculous money - not heard from him since. K
  12. Bless em. Tax free income n constant sunshine... Awww bugger ? K
  13. @frammo very impressive..... But when you gonna get that skirting board finished ? k
  14. Khriss

    pants shat

    Scarey - just the ' not thinking it through' scarey and the ' impact' scarey followed by the ' I might just do shit like this again ' scarey K
  15. @joshuatree frankly , that is one of the best aspects of this profession- you can see or learn something new every day if yr bothered to . Always something new . K
  16. You need a holiday...... In a desert.... With no trees...... So no chainsaws ? K
  17. Unless he finds mine - then he's for it ! K
  18. Dunno, i always liked their Bloodflowers album. But Robert Smith hugely fat now. K
  19. All tree surgeons are ambidextrous - gotta be. K
  20. Would you wear one of these ? Would you wear one of these in public? WWW.BBC.CO.UK A UK plastics company has developed a personal, mobile plastic shield for use during coronavirus. ..... Yea... If you want to look a complete knob ? K
  21. Buy a pressure test and vacuum test kit. Ether way yr gonna find faults quicker an exclude vague possibilities - nice saws mate. K
  22. Lot of soul searching needed and the economic system will have to be shaken up. Tracking people is not only pointless its a Civil Liberty breach ( not like is already happening massively) i might pass by several hundred people in my day, in Town. Contact with a hundred possible surfacez. Unless i isolate to zero contact, its the same risk crossing the road. K
  23. God... Not native - have to get the book out . K
  24. !!! MR @Stubby how dare you derail a thread... Again .. ? K
  25. Its called a leading edge. The Greeks invented it. One tooth deeper than the next cuts faster. K
