Subaru number 10 I think

Has anyone seen the 2016 film "Trespass against us"? Starring Michael Fassbender? À ceux qui nous ont offensés (2016) - IMDb WWW.IMDB.COM 1h 39m | R In the intro (and trailer) he's driving a subaru estate. The favourite get away car of the family the film is based on who used to be based around these parts.

Occasionally still about!

I've just bought one, so will find out how good it is. Its got a 3m tipper on it and I'm in the process of adding tool storage. But its going to be the spare back up truck for carrying excess chip occassionally and logs and debris etc, also for stump grinding and delivering machinery to sites etc so not a full time arb-truck as such.

Hi. No I don't work weekends, but thank you for the offer.
-
Positions still available. Groundie or Climber. Suit a trainee really, good learning opportunity ( I think) for someone keen.
-
Still looking folks.
-
Still got opportunities to suit a wide range of skills/experience. Please email me at [email protected]

Hi all. I have one or maybe two positions available from February next year. Either a fully qualified climber, ideally with some experience, or somebody who is still gaining experience as a groundie/trainee climber. The exact job description and Salary would vary to suit the right person. A minimum of CS30/31 would be required and driving license would be good for anyone over 25. Full time position. approx £24-£34K per year depending on age and experience. The more you can do the better. Freelancers always welcome too! We do quality work for the best clients, so virtually no conifer bashing, mostly in the Cotswolds area. Please apply with C.V to me Rupert at [email protected] Thank you.

Climber, trainee climber or groundie work available. Driving licence, including towing, is more useful than climbing tickets. Possibly looking to find someone for full time position but self employed also would be useful. Small tree company doing quality arb work in Gloucestershire.

Standard break in and take everything! Dont want to talk about saws etc. just thought I'd mention the climbing kit. Its all top end stuff, if it doesn't get chucked its bound to end up with someone eventually.
-
Yep, the one on the right is gone! With a pinto rig pulley on it.
-
Now that's a good post!!
-
Two kit bags of climbing kit gone. Treemotion plus lots of fancy kit inc srt kit, zig zag and chicane etc etc. All metal work engraved "RW" plus a 2 digit number. The only rope was a newish adrenaline 55m lots of karabiners, pulleys, rope guides etc.
-
Both ldvs have a roof box. So the transit will have when converted. Full chapter 8 signage stowed out of the way but there when you need it. Plus a few bits. No one has ever tried to break into either of them.
-
1st day of work for the new truck, making do with the other LDV as a chip truck and the transit for logs for now, until I get the chip box/tipper put on the transit.
-
No, ldvs (well convoys) stopped at 2005/6 so not worth trying to find one. Going transit! Will swop the tipper etc over as before.
-
Hopefully tomorrow.
-
Its a sad day but the old LDV is no more! Almost exactly 10 years out of her and she gives up back at the yard in her usual parking space! The truth is she packed up 2 months ago and we've been half trying to fix it and half looking for a new truck and in the end the decision was obvious, get a new truck and stop patching up the old. Fuel injector pump has gone and the next mot will be expensive anyway, plus the last 2 MOTs were expensive, time to say goodbye and build a new one, watch this space!

First proper trial yesterday. Worked the top of the tree Ddrt and then attached my line to a stem for srt. Worked the tree abit thenback up to retrieve the end for Ddrt. Worked really well. The chicane ascends well. The zig zag needs to be attached (via its 2nd hole) to a chest harness, I use a Chester, but then that attachment doesn't need to be removed like a neck tether would. So you can fairly seamlessly go up and down. I was on spikes so I just walked back up the tree when ready. Tip roping lombardies so lots of up down up down!
-
Tries the chicane with a hitch, today. Didnt really mean to, but was exiting the tree for tea break and so I converted my Ddrt Hitch set up to SRT to descend and happened to have the chicane with me ( I was using zig zag on another tree earlier). It works really well but the hitch gets too close to the chicane really. I use a short knut hitch and it worked just about. A VT (they are usually longer) would hit the chicane and that would be risky!
-
Ive done it with a trailer behind a quad in 2008 last time. You can move the trailer in and out quick with a quad. As I remember we were running the logs out to a car park on the edge of a park, to be collected later, so only needed 2-3 logs per trip.
-
The next thing to try would be the chicane with a hitch and HC. If petzl (or anybody) made a pulley with holes that only accept the new OK karabiner then that would make a rigid system on a midline attachable system.
-
Never tried one, but yes, probably a better option. Akimbo maybe if it ever gets released.
