"Hi, I'm worried that people other than my wife won't know that I have an incredibly small penis, do you have anything for sale to really get the message out there?" We have just the thing sir

Gerry Beranek - The Fundamentals of General Tree Work
Tommy_B replied to Tim2013's topic in Rigging and roping
I know! They're going for daft money on eBay and Amazon. I got mine from Nod years ago. It was 50 quid and there were very few in the country so I had to pay that (and was happy to as it's a great book) Since then, it's been digitised and for 20 quid you can get it. No disrespect for the OP, I hope he does well, and I'm sure he will, but paying 3 figures for a book you can buy for 20 is the sign of a lunatic! -

You can buy it for 20 quid. If it goes for more than 30, someone has been had -
You'd be amazed!! I worked with lads that would never have a pack up and would insist on stopping every morning. Remember that you won't be the one trying to find parking for the truck and the chipper on the high street at rush hour!

Very very simple one that is overlooked a lot, Bring food and water so you don't have to stop all the time

Learn a Marlin spike and learn how to sharpen a saw. There is never nothing to do. The best guy I work with has an unnatural love affair with a rake. Be the same, reach for it whenever there is a lull in the job. Just asking how to be useful will separate you from most. If you actually have raked, moved, cleaned, sharpened everything possible, take photos of the climber. Try to make them look as cool as possible for extra brownie points. Won't be hard, climbers are naturally cooler than most people, just try not to make direct eye contact with them.

Hes driven all that way though

Distance a Tree Can be safely growing to a house
Tommy_B replied to Dan27's topic in Trees and the Law
Every tree is a potential death trap. They're organic and can fail. Doesn't mean they all need to come down. -

Can I have a bit more information about the taproot please? -
Bump!! I got a little kit and a book from the wife for Christmas so have knocking some up while in lockdown. Quite getting into it. Been using Smoked Salmon in the fridge from Christmas and using anything and everything really. Decent for a lunch and you can spend about an hour making enough for 3 days lunch. Can't be bad. A few of them have come out looking like twiglets but other than that, we're flying!!

Each to their own mate. You can clearly use a saw, didnt want less experienced people to think that was the text book way.

Welcome to the forum With the dead tree video, if the tree is hung up, it's safer to roll it out in one piece instead of cutting bits off the bottom.

Wow. A tree work thread. I remember these

Yearly thread revival!! I got enough socks to hopefully see me through to next Christmas and a couple of stencils for coffee that say rude words😄 Ive got to put together a mountain of Barbie related toys and figure out how to cook a Christmas dinner now! Have a great day Arbtalk!👍

Wouldn't mind if it was people with actual Arborist or Forestry experience. 90% of the time it isnt. Ive been on here a long time. Maybe I'm wrong. Although I dont think I'm alone

Ah, I'm with you now. Irony. Got it

Seeing as its almost his Birthday, Jesus wept. I'm as open minded as anyone, it doesn't matter if you like girls or boys, I'm mates with Joe, but can we keep all the flirting etc to PMs. Call me old fashioned but I think I prefer the days where it was people talking about trees and actually learning things off each other. The only things I've learnt recently is that there are a few of you that couldn't lie straight in bed and a Carpenter in Wales will boast about the size of his wang given half the chance. To be quite honest, I could have done without knowing either.

Just out of interest, why do you say 750 is too high?

Where is the tree? What part of the country?
