You can also transfer the funds to your personal account and take it over the counter FOC

I just realised that I didn't actually answer your question, which is quite rude isn't it? So do I agree? .......Primum non nocere

There you go again writing statements for others to validate, asking but not listening seems to be your modus operandi. Google saver, for those in the UK Saran Wrap is cling film

What suits one wont suit others, can you get to the APF show, lots to see try and buy

Who said that???? I know it wasn't me, making stuff up just makes you look foolish. I have worked as a full time climber for over 3 decades. At one time or another I have worked for myself, as a freelancer, for private companies, municipalities, and utilities. I have plied my trade in several countries, I have in the past served as an ISA board member and been involved in the TCC circuit. I have also served on other industry bodies. I have a better than passing knowledge of first aid which began more years ago than I care to remember as a mountain rescue volunteer. I am also qualified to teach first aid in the UK

They charge for cash over the counter but just get a card

No one has a beef with those issues but I and clearly others don't like getting peached at by someone who clearly knows too little about the UK or tree work in the UK. Have you ever worked in the UK, have you ever been here? You do come over "kinda preachy"

Short version is you didn't link to the UK stats, that link goes to some EU vanity project. If they were the UK stats the site would be appended .gov.uk One of the things that the document accepts, is what the HSE also freely admits, which is that the HSE stats are misleading as far as tree work goes. The HSE mandate is way broader than tree work and despite best intentions, lack of resources means they are forced to lump any one using a chainsaw commercially in one category. This is regardless of anything as fundamental as qualification to use a saw. Basing any conclusions on a fundamentally flawed data set is a bad idea. GIGO The document also makes reference to the FC stats which are forestry and in no way related to arboriculture which represents a further muddying of "stats" water. You probably wont be aware of this but there is quite a bit of hoo haa in the forestry (as opposed to Arb) industry about enforced CPD and training with the co horts of the FC (forestry commission) and the rest (mostly contractors) on the other side. There is plenty on here about that if you are interested enough to wade through it.

Interesting, how many of those incidents resulted in an injury by penetrating wound (that is the tangent we are on now isn't it?), and how did you use a stretcher to treat them. Do folks in the USA let the inexperienced get into a bad place like that? In the UK we tell them to use a WP lanyard or a second rope.

Not exactly, the start of the thread was Well I am sure that he is correct about that part of the world where he lives but I for one don't care It moved on to preparedness, some degree of preparedness is never out of place but a stretcher in every work truck is as looney as it gets for UK and the emergency services would prefer you didn't make their job harder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primum_non_nocere Primum non nocere means first do no harm, its the guiding principal of medical ethics and unless the casualty is in imminent danger (think, in a burning building) wading in with a stretcher is a recipe for disaster. As you quite rightly point out, in the wilds of Wyoming you can be a long way from help but as was pointed put to jacamo, we are more likely to be in the wilds of Watford.

Eggs, that's the "American way" mate, take a lesson, if the conversation isn't going the way you like, just change the subject a bit and hope no one notices. You will never "make the cut" with the jacamo special ranger force if you cant master that

Damn that auto correct

That's what I thought but apparently you only need jacamo and one of his black ops mates. Who knew?

Jacamo, What's going on with your stretcher? Will it have special ops bouncy castle gafs?

Well Jacamo, definitely full of it, looks like 42 of those years are living in your ego.

So how would you deal with it? maybe get one of your special ops trained ninja mates in You are absolutely full of it

You do talk such awful shyte. You were talking specifically about stretchers. If you don't like the way something is going, just change the subject eh.....

This is a UK perspective Its a small and heavily populated place fairly well stocked with competent well trained emergency responders both professional and unpaid volunteers. The only reason to evacuate a casualty yourself would be to expedite the evacuation but the risk of harm is unlikely to get any where near out weighing the risk. Have you ever tried a stretcher carry?. I have as a mountain rescue volunteer. Over the flat its doable on a short distance, 2 can manage that but over steep or broken ground you are going to need a group of 6 as a minimum and double that to work relays over a longer stretch. Most tree work gangs don't run anywhere near those staffing levels. No professional responder would thank you for carting an incapacitated casualty unless they were in imminent mortal danger if they didn't move. The official line in the UK is don't move them unless you have got to. The UK isn't a place where people fall into canyons and have to hack their own arms off with a pocket knife. Primum non nocere

Errrr, most of us are in the UK, when we go brown its more likely to be rust

And the jaws are replaceable

Can we add the category sharpen it then use it

It cant be that modern I have a VHS copy that I have had over a decade

So how many "navy seals" that do tree work do you know? I thought they were all about cloak and dagger missions, do they do tree cutting on the days off.

You don't need consent for that, its merely the exercising of a common law right It would be wise to get a relative involved to smooth the way.

The devils advocate was just on the phone and asks....... What are the penalties for such a trespass?
