i use a micro on the blake i like it, good for slack tending and footlocking the tail,although i am trying a vt at the moment but the jury is still out on that.

As already said mate get the Arborist's Certification Study Guide as for it being difficult "you will never know if you dont go" im isa cert arb just read the guide inside out and do the sample questions in the back, give it a go, regardless pass or fail its always good to study and learn.

Really ? thats shocking i was saying it thinking that would be ridiculous !! the mind of criminal eh.

As usual- its sods law, he had the big saws in cause they were ringing up timber they had felled the day before, finished quicker than he had planned so decided to catch a small trimming job on the way back as he is the same he takes the kit in with him but thinking "i will only be an hour" we have all done it, interestingly he said if they held them to ransom he would pay to get them back, that will be next Kidnapped Kit, "send us the money or we put straight petrol in"

My mate asked me to put this up, yesterday as he was working doing a hedge round the back garden, pickup parked at the front on the main road, Someone came along cut a padlock off the tool storage unit and took 2 x ms390,1 x ms460, 1 x 200t and a blower this was between 2 and 2-30 in the afternoon!!! Doubt very much if he will get the gear back but just wanted to point out that these criminals don't care and have some bottle to do that in the middle of the day. Watch your gear guys.

Depends your age and how fast you heal as an individual, the bones should heal pretty quick its the tendons that take the time, my mate tore his achilles tendon and was in a special shoe thing for 6 weeks that the hospital adjusted every week, then he had physiotherapy to build it back up . Sorry to hear your injured though mate get well soon.
-
Yeah id do that, i like adrenalin hits.

yep had a go last night on a old section of 12 strand and followed the instructions from a web site, was very difficult and frustrating my hands are still sore!! i was finding it difficult to follow the text instructions, i will continue until a workshop comes along or i loss the plot. High scale the thread i was on about was the 16 strand splice you done it looked excellent. cheers for all the advice.
-
Sounds good, it depends the price and how many days i would need to get a flight down if it was in London, would be ideal if got one closer to home. Wonder if the workshop would qualify for isa ceu's? as i need some. cheers for the interest though guys, high scale seen your splices on another thread they look great, how did you learn?
-
There is a shogun round here that has PI5T AF on it, good for our trade after your soaked,hit another nail and then the chipper breaks.... I may need to translate that for those not Scottish
-
Is there any workshops to attend or good books to buy to learn how to splice? always something i have wanted to learn, like most i got taught to splice 3 strand on my first climbing course, never use it now of course but always liked the satisfaction of splicing would like to spend some time learning on modern rope. thanks

if i won 100 million id put £30 to it and clear my feet Does anyone know if that kind of money was win by one person?
-
I hourly rate them to get my total price then add 50% as there is always more than you first thought, its easy to under price hedges and be there an extra few hours.
-
the multicars look good, you would think the 1.9 engine would be a bit gutless though, theirs a company that do alot of council gritting in the winter here have two crewcab units with gritters running off a pto i often wondered if they would run a chipper, look cool units.

Cracking rig mate

never too old mate im 43, as the rest of the posts suggest do some rec climbs, do some upper body work ( press ups,pull ups etc) and go for it start off slow and build up to it and dont be in too much of a rush as you have years in front of you, Good Luck.

Thats a great unit, used to use a valmet with a double drum winch on the back and hook up a botex trailer, jas p wilson set it all up, they are good tractors.
