    NHS Pah!

    be gratefull for the nhs, a few months ago i had to go to hospital here in sweden for blood poisoning. whilst waiting to be seen, they turned people away who couldnt prove they had health care cover, cold as ice i had a bill of nearly £300 just to see the doctors-which the nhs will re-imburse
  4. ian, which one will work in sub zero temperatures the best? it seems other than battery life and waterproofness, the drift is the better choice? do you have a video of the gopro's quality you could stick on here? thanks for the review Possibly:001_smile:
  5. fantastic!
  6. do you know the name of these two gents? i could have a guess, but dont know for sure some serious weight on that trailer too!
  7. Home page || Discount Chainsaw Chains ships to sweden, so ireland shouldnt be a problem
  8. really cool find tobias! that ant fungi is amazing, as is that veil one
  9. what would you regret more, trying and failing, or not trying atall???
  10. cool vid tim I think i'll get a head cam in the next week or so
  11. good pics tom
  12. Smooth
  13. thats not what the client wanted though was it? depends how big a piece's you are rigging, cutting and chucking, and free falling a decent climber would nail that:biggrin: ready to fell???? have you lived and worked in multiple countrys to gain a balanced view?
  14. just got some taiger goretex over trousers, my boss has had a pair for 3 years climbing, felling in them, and still good as new
  15. they now need an appropiate sized mewp and take the tree down in handable pieces yeah right!
  16. i dont know, i would have thought that to move the basket over the dropzone whilst holding onto the branch might be easier with 2 sets of hands-one moving one cutting and holding, im sure hse would prefer this method? i guess i must be old skool, climbing and all that dadio hasnt implied that this is the best way to do it, or worded anything to imply he is teaching, just videoed a straight foward job that he, an experienced tree worker, has completed. then explained in detail how he done the job. there are plenty more videos and pictures on this site doing work far more complex than this video, which no-one needlesly picks appart or says it shouldnt be posted because some newbie might think its the only way to do things
  17. why isnt it this felling from 12ft acceptable??? so it would have pleased h&s more for 2 guys to be in a mewp all day, reaching out of a mewp, step cutting small sub 15kg pieces moving the basket to chuck into the dropzone, where more manual handeling would have had to take place. or dadio's way, using basic felling techniques to fell an evenly weighted tree, slight lean compensated by 2 pretensioned pulling lines into a clear area then use machines to deal with the lifting where i doubt anyone broke out in a sweat all day
  18. Nice one, well done for being pro-active, have you tried contacting the likes of Aspen?
  19. got any pics of the 110' leylandi?? sounds like a fell tbh, any pics of the split?
  20. such as . . .
  21. have you just left college? a tutor who went from reading the books to preaching the books? hse bod? so he broke with convention by felling the tree in a one'er, thats never been done before! un orthadox, yeah because in the real world we all climb like on our training assesments, what assesments do they have in the usa? perhaps that is orthadox? why cut pieces hand liftable when he had a machine on site to lift? escape route? he had pre tensioned 2 pull lines, watched for mov ement, moved away, then called for the final pull
  22. Beautifull pics john!
  23. i dont frequent other forums, so dadio has a clean slate with me on here, what in this video was dangerous? everything seemed calculated, everything went well. back cut is intresting, but just a diffrent technique from a diffrent country. keep the videos coming dadio, its intresting to me seeing diffrent techniques
