On my list of Things to Do Today . K

Just spat my tea out on this one K

@Timon , I looked at it this year ( not too far from me ) as we seem to struggle to find guys who will turn up . But it would be too many strings to my bow . Definate work opportunity thou. K

@Darkslider 90% of Arb then 🙄 K

I would say a fuvvkwit fast climber can be way more expensive . K

My NPTC training and assessment was on 3 core white nylon with Eurostrops plaited from same, was good course and effective, seen a lot worse methods since. K

Printed this. Put it in every office on Network. And....... K

Which it didnt from UAG 167 notification. Climber fell after finishing work using 2Rope system. The point is, managing risks, which is a lot more than taking a default point and prayer or whathave you. 2Rope can be better. My ha'penny worth is, i climb mostly now for crown inspections on SRT, with a side strop ( going UP and 'looking around' ) but big dismantle or crown reduction i would use 2 systems. Because i can throw line well and its easier. K

Nope you said ' eliminate' make risk to zero, which wont happen at 5mph. K

THAT would be seriously hilareous! ☺️ K

You see thats not the issue, its perceived risk and actual risk. You can still kill someone with a tractor doing 5mph. Looking where yr going is the start point. K

Grappling hooks the way forward. K

Yup. I have climbed trees and thought ' that looks ok' ( it wasnt) or ' that anchor will be fine' ( gets up and not too fine) or ' fvvk thats a lot of shit coming out the cut' ( like you must have had a lot of- on that tree) then itz stop and have a rethink. That bit is where i think a lot of climber injury n death occurs - the ' carry on' point. Two blokes, one topping down a trunk, that fractured, ripped off a long shred that ragged his harness appart. Other guy climbed ( medium sized tree) that he had nearly finished dismantling- base of trunk collapsed crushing him ( he survived) looking back both are either forseeable or another method would have been better, both guys still ok and happened in last 8 years but i think the ' dunno there, stop an have a fag an a think' is the point where the y would have ended the day better. K ( the second one was a Rail job and we still hearing abt it 😳)

@Rich Rule, was that fracture end in pic above or below the cut section you were craning off? Was hollowness indicated in the cuts? K

Good opportunity fr a young keen lad, estate jobs never well paid but they clearly are forward thinkers and good chance to pick a lot of knowledge up. K

Specifically fr you @kevinjohnsonmbe i know local 'authority' meetings are close to yr heart 😋 K Jackie Weaver: Handforth Parish Council host 'surprised' by reaction WWW.BBC.CO.UK Jackie Weaver was in a meeting which went viral with millions of views after it descended into chaos.

Cracking 😆 K

Try the manufacturer, no reason why they wouldnt offer it, think i had one in my PA1 / 6 Green book, if i could ever find it again 🙄 K

@Scottish Cleaning Service its wether you love trees or not, wont make yr millions in this. Trees always been my passion fr over 40 yrs. Am comfortably off from it but wont be buying a golf course out of it. K

In these lockdown times itll still get a watching 😋 k

Its the 1 in 1000 cut off ( 1 in 10,000 for domestic incidents ) death rate for stop works and change the system or method, in our small industry compared to Construction, we flag up massively. K

Just been hung over, up a largeish Poplar is enuff 😕 K

@lum8erjack hmmm, abt how long is a piece of string really, am similar to you and get 200 quid a day for surveying an area of various specifications for a contractor or 80 quid an hour from particular jobs, condition or habitat specs, in Midlands might be worth joining a consultants team that could push up yr experience? K

Yea, the pink shouty fvvker gave them that, then looked what happened! Cant you get yr castle finished n get back to feudalism? Make yr tpo paperwork easier ☺️ k

Saw the heading title n thought the worst mate 😳 thankgod was only our stupid enconomy 🙄 K
