Mark the eye in the middle of the rope. 8 or 9 cm works nicely with no core. From the core end, count down 5 pairs of strands and remove a pair, count down 5 more pairs then remove another pair. Do this so you have removed 10 individual pairs in total. Cut them off near the point they exit. Then feed your fid about half way down the rope and exit in between strands. Tuck the last 5cm in the find and pull it through the inside of the rope. Job done. Where are you based? I can make you one and send it out if you have trouble

Did a conifer hedge removal where we checked the stems, looked up into it (as much as possible) thought it was ok. Went to do it and cut the first ones out and found the previous reductions were laying in the middle. Pretty much doubled the volume and could have cried chipping up loads of dead, black wet conifer.

Are you a long way from Bicton college? I know they have done apprenticeships. Your best bet would be finding a company who is willing to take you on as an apprentice and then seeing where they would want you to train. I would imagine that your aerial background would stand you in better stead than most. Good luck

Good to see you back on here Jamie. Question for the floor. "Is using a Zigzag connected to another Zigzag acceptable as you will be on one place of attachment to the harness?"

Wait, you mean it isn’t a descriptive term for a Butcher? I must have lead a sheltered life

I've got a Tsurgi and that has the straps on the scabbard so I just use those. I took the straps off a Sawpod to do that. 20 quid is fine IMO, I'd only spend it on sweets otherwise

See @Joe Newton, and you thought Steve didn't notice!

Spend a day carrying log rounds down alleyways and onto trucks and shovelling bins of sawdust out of gardens in summer and you'll soon see why 2k is being requested. Even better, offer to help when they do the work and you'll take £100 quid off the price and you can find out

What's going on with the cut in the foreground?

Your best bet is seeing if someone in Oz would send you a pair

I'm in mate. I'll be the chubby one with tattoos that pretends hes in his 20s when he's clearly nearly 40
