Steve Williams

But being called ignorant is acceptable is it?

I currently use the webbed cambium saver and I want to upgrade as the friction is too great. Anyone got any ideas?

Sorry for not replying sooner but was working out of the country. Isn't that the point? All the safety guidelines are there to reduce accidents. Whilst I agree that our job is a dangerous one we obviously should not make it any more dangerous by taking unnessary risks. It's people like you that gives our industry a bad name with your blasé attitude!

You say this isn't best practise and to trust the tree and the driver, doesn't this practise have too many areas that can go wrong? As professional arborists surely this kind of risky set up is what we are all trying to avoid?

Sorry Deer Man, not me I'm afraid ..... do you mean there are two good looking Steve Williams out there!!!

Hi guys i'm the newbie on this forum. Munkeymadman, how are you using the 4X4 in the speedlining? it sounds good. What is the set-up? Are you using a control/return line with a pully? or are you just using a speedline and using the 4X4 to help in the actual snapping off of the limb by tensioning the line as you cut?
