Surly if the tree owner is taking reasonable steps to deal with dead wood and any forseeable failure then falling twigs, seeds etc come under the same sort of area as leaves blocking gutters. Having taken what sounds like more than reasonable steps to make the tree as safe as possible its highly unlikely any negligence has occurred. As has already been said, having taken steps to deal with reasonable hazards any damage should then come down to the vehicle owners insurance. He could cover the van to prevent minor damage but chooses not to. At the end of the day you can do as you please within your own property but if you insist on parking under a tree then expect bits to drop on it. Unfortunately you can't tell that to a stubborn person.

With gills I`d be more inclined to say pleurotus ostreatus.

It's a shame it doesn't do SRT. The lock seems like a good idea.

Theres these: http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/jameson/pole-saws1/ You'll need to double check but I thing these are the same. https://honeybros.com/Item/Fred_Marvin_Saw_Blade https://honeybros.com/index.php?app=ecom&ns=catshow&ref=STEIN_Pole_Pruning_Spares&sid=80h7s172384399tf8i484kskf722c6hs

They are useful in certain situations but I think like zip lines they either work or are they don't. It is a technique worth playing around with. I see you're already aware of the beech highline thread, there's some useful stuff in there.

I don't know if I would use a tirfor. When you hang off a high line the forces generated are surprisingly high. If you are super tightening the line to remove sag then you will be over loading everything. I think with a horizontal high line you would be putting 5x the weight of the climber on EACH end of the high line so 10x on the line itself, thats static load, if you are bouncing around then the forces are even higher. So it's better to have some sag. Ideally you want the anchors well above where you are working to leave plenty of sag in the line and still be able to work off it. Some kind of smaller hand winch would be better. We've used a hobbs but you could use a 3:1 or similar.

...So do I, but it does look more like a dessicated specimen to my eye than a white functioning bracket.

The simplest way to try and work out the extent of the decay is with a sounding mallet and probe. Regarding rhizomophs, they are all black, that's the melanin coating. The rhizomorphs of A. mellia tend to be very small where as the saprophytic species have chunkier ones.
-
Dessicated chicken no?
-
Remember that there are saprophytic species of Armillaria too so it's presence is not necessarily of major significance. It's the extent of decay that is more significant. In other words is this simply two saprophytes living on a confined column of decay?

I agree. Flammulina

Good find, that looks very interesting.

Are they pored mushrooms? Looks like some kind of Bolete maybe. Boletes are mycorrhizal.
-
Yes it is indeed Rigidiporus ulmarius with it`s Cinnamon tubes
-
Looks interesting. How is it to use?
-
What`s the device you are climbing with?
-
Cheers.

Where do you get volcano from? I only seem to be able to find it pre-spliced?

The only thing I can add really is that if I tie the knot a bit too tight after very little use it will settle to the right position if that makes sense. It`s the big down side to the HH is that its a lot of messing about and unpicking of knots to get it right. Once I`ve got it right the knot tends to stay on.
-
Just thought I`d check
-
Have you got the bone and carabiner the right side of the rope?
-
Cool pics, thanks for sharing.

It`s a liverwort, it won`t do any harm.

Some info: bacterial canker of ash (Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. fraxini)
