thats cool mate, that would sell easy.

You will get a good small car for that money, a ford ka or a corsa as parts are cheap as chips, be careful though your first car is more likely the one you will smash as once you pass your test you then learn how to drive!! good luck.
-
your right rupe i stand corrected, the way you describe is the way i do it.
-
No bother mate, as rupe says its better if the the smaller of the two rings is the last to go up, on retrieval i just tie a stopper knot and attach the throw line to my rope pull the rope through the large eye so the knot gets caught in the small ring and you can control the decent with the throw line, saves it bouncing through every branch on the end of your rope and you diving for cover

Its easy mate, cambium saver has 2 rings, put the throw line through one ring (saver stays on the ground) then attach the bag throw over limb and back to the ground, undo the bag and put the line through the other ring re attach the bag pull the bag back up the tree, saver flicks over the branch with the line through both rings at the underside of the limb, lower the bag remove and attach your rope, pull the rope back up through both eyes then have you lunch!! hope that makes sense mate.

i assume you can set these up from the ground like you do with a cambium saver and throw bag?

The smell of napalm in the morning Seriously though, the kids running towards you when you get home also not letting you out in the morning without wrapping themselves around you, to catch your wifes eye when she has been watching you and you both smile thats a brilliant moment. Wading down a river as the sun breaks throwing a fly line and hearing fish rise and nature in all its glory. training so hard that you cant get off the mat and testing your skills in a combat arena knowing the other guy is there to take you apart. a winter Sunday afternoon lying on the couch with the log burner raging the kids playing and the smell of home cooking coming from the kitchen

there a decent guy right there, nice one mate -
Great answers guys, its interesting that what one persons success could be is an another ones stress, as long as its working for you and you are happy that is all that matters and another thing, always try to enjoy life because you are a long time dead

get a bidding war started!! they are in great nick. ;-) -
For me its working less and having more time with my family, i dont live an extravagant lifestyle as i dont feel its important. I bond with my kids rather than try to buy or bargain with them, but im genuinely interested in what other members would class as being successful, i know its a tough time in the industry but the fact you are still trading is testament to your own ability, is that alone success to you?

Tree work seems to have slowed quite a bit but getting alot of fencing work so its all good, i think the fencing demand is coming from the rise in crime people want to be more secure.
