Yes but whistles used to be made of elder and they went indoors:001_smile:I tried to make one with my knife but it did not whistle.

I used to call myself a forester but as a top tree person told me foresters grow trees to fell for profit.I am amenity only 6000 acres of treescape and he said you are an arboriculturalist looking after trees from planting seeing them grow pruning and looking after them in old age as they decay keep them alive safe ect, ido not climb i get climbers in. But what i am trying to say is tree surgeon is an old word arborist is the new word there is much more to trees than to climb and cut, an arborist knows his trees and how they work and grow types of soil fungi ect. You get the picture a lot of learning to be an arborist a few exams to be a tree surgeon:001_smile: -
Maybe not a good example, but i dont think you are human if you dont have a small amout of fear with 89cc engine turning razor sharp cutters on a 36 inch bar and no human can read all the signs and do all the other jobs and watch staff and all the other things that have to be done only the terminator can do that:001_smile:

What is being said is that we should all have an element of fear for chainsaws, not all things are caused by the person using it some things are out of your control e.g. felling an oak tree and it falls over backwards, softrot no holding wood how could you know. you can not allways read a saw is going to kickback.

-
