  1. i went from the willans to the tree flex, tree flex is miles better
  2. the back supports really big and supple, i wear the back support on/just below my hips, not above, it is a comfy harness, what are you on now?
  3. glad you like it Dave:thumbup: i'll dig my one out when im next back. The tree motions alright, not overwhelmed with it, but it is better than alot of harnesses. think it might be the way i like to wear harnesses-loose and low
  4. looks simmilar to nifty steves
  5. for several branches, take several slings and carabinas up, take a bite of rope, tie the loose tail off on the stem near you in the tree, (or end of climbing line:blushing:) sling the branch, clip the crab into the bite, fig 8 or wrap the other end over/round a fork pulling slack through, cut and lower the branch, untie the loose end from round the stem and pull through. you end up having to find the slings and crabs, at the end, but it works make sence?

  13. CIS, renewal came through last month, my merc went from £450 ish to near 700 i think, and landy went from 650ish to 950ish, despite no claims ect told them were they could go!

  15. mark gave me a real good quote before i decided to come over here, and sound advise, he really knows his stuff when it comes to tree insurance, what is needed and what is a waste of money. i'll be going straight to him if i need any insurance in the future
  16. try 'tree surgeons insurance' either a blue or green backround'ed ad to the right of screen
  17. amy winehouse and jeremy clarkson meet at a celebrity bash Amy Winehouse: Hi What do you do then? Jeremy Clarkson: Top Gear Amy Winehouse: Oh brilliant, I'll have 3 grams please
  18. its like driving a car, you pass youre test, then learn how to drive. you are taught how to pass nptc criteria. then with experience, adopt youre own style
  19. are the tyres inflatable? if so, could there be a solid wheel option? found in the past, that inflatable tyres on sack barrows always get a thorn in them, rip off the rim when going off a kerb ect - not good when youre relying on the barrow to get the job done in a timeframe looks really good though, great on the right job
  20. stunning, thanks for posting rich!
  21. the bandits are awesome machines
  22. well, i find it funny! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_WWAVXZyuQ]YouTube - Baby Panda Sneezing[/ame]
  23. :lol: just had a mental image of dean using a kenetic rope to pull over a tree. . . . dean and his famous bad luck over calculate the force required, sending the whole tree flying through the air when the kenetic energy is released
