I think by pikey he means Old 'Joe Hack' who lives down the lane and he'll 'lop and top' your tree for £cash£ from his ladder and 3 strand. I dont think he means any harm to the jypsy heritage we have.

To Coronet or Not to Coronet, now that is a question
Tully replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
I understand what you are saying and experience is vital to back up ur statement. I understand that if a collar is missed in target pruning it can cut away the meristamatic cells and make forming wound wood and callus harder. But i was also led to believe if you left too much wood like you state. 50 ,100 mm etc then we are leaving a free zone of tree to be infected . If this fungus has time to gather strenght then it can pass the branch collar and cause more harm. But i do fully back your thoughts on coronet cutting. Just wish there was more solid info on their influence on CODIT. Also on some species where the wood is larger and older , meristematic cells are fewer so is it still right to coronete at such a level (on live wood)? -

I work on a conservation site and we try to use coronete cuts when we can. So I use them alot. I think the more you do the better they seem to look. You dont want something looking like a meat clever (ive seen some that do) The hardest ive had to do is one from a mewp using a stihl ms 660. My only concern is how this style of cut effects CODIT and would you only use this cut on dead wood. As i have used this cut on live wood when having to remove a limb.? any ideas -
I agree.... so why are we disregarding a slight tip reduction to lessen the shock loading capabilities on the bracing system? Obviously aesthetics may come into it but since the tree is in a school and by the looks from the pictures a road lies besides the tree it, to me, would seem like the sensible option.

The ISA top up aproach with the magazines is a good method. Something that the RFS lacks. But its down to the person to maintain and update their knowledge on relevant topics. One thing I was gutted about with the RFS is the lack of free stickers. With the ISA you get a load of fancy stickers to show off.

I to covered these when doing the arial rescue training. But im suprised that we do not get taught an arial rescue with a statict access line. These days we always have a static access line installed for a rapid arial rescue response.Simple line over a strong union with an alpine butterfly tied in to stop it slipping. A clemhiest prussik hitch pre tied waiting to be used if needed.

They are both very good theory certs. The ISA seems to be more recognised internationally so maybe the ISA would be better. I did the RFS cert. From my experience the RFS is more of a written base exam where as the ISA cert is a multiple questions exam plus an ident. Either way yo cant go wrong.

As for the thread. I think depending on the job required and the position of the job two people may at times be beneficial (e.g working over obsticals) and we cant rule it out intirely. But on the other hand working on your own can also be easier for positioning.

I think a mewp comes under puwer.!

If you look on 'proclimber.com' it should show you a few good knots. the gripping hitch is my favourate.

Yep.That's when they will stand there and not say a thing hoping you'll keep going to the ground.

anyone ever tried a Nifty Lift. At first i was put off but after using one i was impressed.
-
if you've got the time just bang a line over a low branch and spend the day foot locking up and down without a harness.Obviously don't go too high. When I was learning a couple of days really allowed me to master it. keep at it and dont give up.

I think you should stick at it and mainly try to enjoy it. Pratical experience is great as you can see and interact with what you read and study about. I've just finished the RFS cert so this is an interesting point you make. Good luck

Count me in. About time
