Eddie, why don't you offer the 25L containers in the UK? Much better than buying small 5L cans all the time, and not as heavy an investment as 200L

I spend Mondays at home with my boy, Tuesdays and Wednesdays I drop him off at nursery at 07:30 and pick him up at 15:30. Thursdays just drop him off, his mother picks him up and Fridays he's at home with mum so I work a full day. Works well, never say how long a job will take, if they ask what time I'll be there I'll say 8:30/9:00 as dropping him off at nursery. Everyone understands. Even other contractors I sub to work around my timetable So far it's working well

I used instacollage, an app on the iphone to do this type of side by side

Side by side in the same picture/frame?

I know of a few companies with corporate vest tops. I wear plain black/dark grey sports vests as they are much cooler and stay drier than any cotton shirt. But I always turn up with a polo shirt on over the top Gotta show off the gunns to the chicks hey

Big tree Matty! Ian, it was real easy and efficient with them, but full on as an expected 2 days of felling got crammed into one as some big diggers and 600tonnes of rock is being delivered (un expectedly) on monday to level off the slope/ground the trees on. Still, customer extremely happy, and back there next week on another area. Walkerboys, 18 tonner i believe, something I'm working towards for in a year or so

Efficient looking job Tim! bad luck about the fence Ian Couple pics from today, felling, tractor dragged trees to the hardstanding, sned out, pushed branches to a heap, stacked logs, crane truck cleared up

Probably doesn't help that even visiting arborists and groups such as the ancient tree forum think it's ok to climb all over it to have their pictures and group shots taken. Seemingly the small chain fence doesn't apply to them and their foot fall doesn't affect compaction of soil within the trees drip line

I guess it's good for employees with tight employers-a tight employer may tell you to man up and keep using worn out kit, but being condemned by loler would give the employee grounds to want kit replaced

Looks good! (searched haheley.co.uk) On the subject of keywords, how do you help bump you're ad up the listings? Currently low on the first page on some key search phrases

Don't see anything wrong with it TBH -
Do it Stevie! I use aspen 2stroke in saws, and 4 in my lawnmower at home, the price doesn't come into it for me anymore - i think of it as PPE I even know of companies using 4stroke aspen in their Avant tractors FWIW today i paid 60 quid for a 25L can

This'd be a good start IMO Rigging box 1 | F R Jones and Son You can add bits, beef up bits as and when you need/figure out what works for you/what you need

Backfired a bit when hes promoted that the competition has a pretty smart product

Something like these but without the studs perhaps? a little more aggressive than road tyres. REA - Vinterdäck Nokian,Pirelli kvalitetsdäck | Stockholm

I used to do it with my high sided hilux and brash/logs with a builders bag sliced down the edges to lay on bed, headboard and bit over the cab, ropes hanging out the back. Worked we'll for me as had an old pole near the bonfire area to tie off on Chips a fair bit denser though

Wtf?? Do you race F1 cars? No? Oh so you think you're the best driver ever then? Just because I don't feel the need to prove my abilities don't assume I think I'm the best? I know I'm a productive climber, I know that, and I learn through working with other productive climbers, trade shows with like minded individuals, here even. I'm not going to waste 3 days just because some guy in the internet says so. There needs to be a good incentive, that's all.

Id want it worth my while to take part, taking part and getting a limited edition freebie would make me feel special, and the chance to win something decent and of value would really get me intrested. I don't feel the need to prove my climbing abilities to anyone, so there needs to be something material in it.

I've attended a few of the comps over here (not recently mind) there's comps for newbies (not just students but those experienced who don't want to make a tit of themselves in the "pro" tree) that's a plus point I think I done the one mark mentioned at jonsies, that was cool, very relaxed, no elitist feeling, being hungover diddnt matter. That's the only comp I've ever entered as I don't see anything in it or me. However, prizes would attract me, like 1st prize: a grand to spend at the show, 2nd: chainsaw, 3rd: access rope, best newbie wins a climbing saw, quickest rescue gets an arb aid kit. Every entrant gets a limited edition/branded helmet or something It needs to be held at an established POPULAR arb show, and with good notice (once again over here its 4weeks notice which just isn't enough-I for one travel alot and buy flight tickets 2-3 months in advance)

I don't know, don't care and don't see the relevance I'll continue to give a range of options to best suit individual trees and customers, you can stick with the one

I'm not dead wrong, that is quite out of the ordinary. So a quick search on the internet and you're an expert in uk weather? Do you think we brace trees randomly in forests? The chances of a tree that's been braced in the uk catching fire is slim to non
-
And what if a static brace isn't suitable for the application then????? Fire? Falling limbs? Rodents? You're clutching at straws there, is that what you fob off to clients to install you're preferred cable method? Uv degradation? Well that's why it's important to fit the date tags, monitor and replace at recommended intervals set by the manufacture Galvanized steel if damaged at the installation stage can still rust and fail Both methods have there place

Fire is not part of the natural environment to a tree in the UK, it would be quite out of the ordinary. ( this is a predominately UK based forum, the OP based in the UK too) No one is dead wrong, a true professional would be able to see the benefits and pitfalls of both styles of bracing, not just be blinkered into using one style only.
