  1. I used to say exactly the same!
  2. when whilst on a dirty weekend away, in the hotel room you get distracted by the job you're doing by the painting on the wall with previously topped trees in the backround, and wonder if the artist knew what he was painting. . . sure beats thinking of margret thatcher on a cold day to keep youreself going

  4. Hey Chris, where did you build that? i think i done some tree work there with Acacia a few years back, the guy was telling us about the wood, and the guy constantly busting drill bits, and it had to be pre cut specially as blunts normal teeth.
  5. Thanks for replies! I find using a humbolf face cut you just have to be carefull about the chog breaking off early with the saw in the cut, as the step seems more willing to grab the bar . . . Talking of bars, Gamla stan is near where youre staying friday night, i'll ring you in the week Too much cut and hold in youre opinion they could have been free falled into the trees below, creating more work, slowing the groundie up, and the job . .
  6. Dismantle Pine on the island of Tronholmen, try to avoid damaging trees below, but no worries, dismantled in small pieces so groundsman could stack without needing to cut up on the ground, took it steady so groundsman could keep up. Have a look at the Stepped gob cut, no one ive worked with has seen it before but it makes life so easy chogging down-the chog was 2M, sat back and piece of cake to push off, with control on the direction.

  7. if i were a domestic customer i wouldnt be happy with that, doesnt look like the sides have been touched imo. sorry!
  8. It hasn't really been a problem, lots of rocks here, or frozen ground, roots, sometimes it may sink half a foot. The extension can be slid out and be fixed a further meter out, giving more leverage or footing options before winding the jack out.
  9. Simmilar, ours is the RH Pusher Reipal AB verkstad mekanisk verkstad produkter maskiner konstruktioner trädfällriktare rh-pusher timbertool brandstötta stabilift I think its a great tool for stems, and will supprise you as to the back or side leaners you can push over, more than wedges or levers will acheive
  10. Haha yeah sure always worked like this, its common sense
  11. I move up with the running saw in my hand and break off Imo its more efficient having the groundsperson just feeding the chipper rather than messing about pulling branches about in the drop zone, dragging and feeding, untangling ropes etc. Also it pisses me off having a mess to deal with when i come down, rather than a neat pile. Also alot of the work here is just to leave the branches and cord neatly stacked under the tree, its easier to stack branches from the air using cut and hold momentum and little flicks than wrestle them on the ground
  12. why i think cut and holdings good, everything stacked neatly from the tree, butt ends a meter from the chipper infeed, not some big birds nest at the base of the tree that pisses everyone off! Yeah sure mate, when you over?

  14. i'll up load it to youtube, but its taking its time
  15. Balls, i'll try again later or tommorrow
  16. 1st go with the GoPro Welcome to Facebook
  17. Cheers!
  18. I cant see it . . .
  19. PC Windows 7
  20. As title, downloaded onto computer 5 short videos. Can someone explain simply how i cut bits out of each one? then how do i stitch them together to make one video? Thanks:001_smile:
  21. As those of you who have worked with me know, i have my own style of climbing, my own style of cutting, which has slowly developed over years of self taught daily work. i use a wide range of techniques and cuts that are never taught, and probabally never will be, but used with logic and common sence, the risks are minimal. I have worked with others who have commented that with my confidence and techniques, they struggled to see any H+S risks, or even that 95%+ of my work practices would fail NPTCs. However, i have worked alongside less experienced climbers who have not the strength or knowledge as myself, who have then jumped straight in at the deep end and tried copying my 'style' to try and keep up with my efficency(not just speed), but without applying common sence or logic, and as a result looked quite frankly dangerous. If there was to be a ticket for cutting and holding, it should be the hardest, longest most intense ticket going, as some people will never have the sence or ability to do it safety.
  22. Plippy could have written that
  23. Ok, thanks Mick, Diet and nutrition is starting to intrest me
  24. Are you talking about protien powder there Mick? So you just eat normally, or as Darren187 suggests, then the extra protien portions ontop?
