WALKER..........Step away from the hydro shift

They didn't get called hydro shite for nothing

I don't know about edible but they are as sharp as every other part. I wouldn't care to eat one, nor for the "next phase". I took some to a flower shop once for a bit of window display, looked well but apparently they rotted.

Having climbed more than enough monkey puzzles I can tell you there is nothing a monkey or anyone else would want up there:laugh1:

Except its not. The only puzzle would be what a monkey would be doing in Chile!

I can offer a 99% reduction :laugh1:

Do not under estimate them They are the worst things to work on, there is nothing on them that's not excessively sharp, scratchy, sticky or all three, handle the brash with thick gloves or a pitchfork because even the fronds have sharp edges that will slice you up.

If I needed it I could put it back into front line service tomorrow :thumbup1:

This is the first biner I ever owned Its a DMM made for Field and Trek. I have owned it since 1987 but it wasn't new when it came to me, I have a pair of Bashlins of the same vintage but I am all out of three strand nylon. Its currently in temporary (nostalgic) retirement.

Were you charging a lot for it?

Yes, and it sold better than hot cakes:laugh1::laugh1:

Or, perhaps they accept the limitations of the kit they have bought

That depends on your point of view. Most developers want to wring the maximum profit possible so that's doing the right thing from their point of view

Did you stop to wonder why that is ???

Do you recon he had his moneys worth or would it have gone again?? :laugh1:

Keeping your records is hardly onerous and keeping records of retired kit will show an industry best practice audit trail

Well I suppose but if having a tree integral to the building the best way would be to plant it into the building and allow the pair to acclimate. I have been the bloke who has to go back and fell the corpse on more occasions than I care to remember. The point I was making was that the original title of this thread was which so isn't the case

The simple answer is that it will respond badly to root severance, crushing and soil compaction. These are the exact things that 5837 says we are supposed to be avoiding This is simply tree health, sacrificed to the architects hubris. It may be a neat feature for a short while but in the long term, and many cases the tree dies.

They might continue to grow for a while but for a lot, building stress sees them off. Look at building projects with trees in that proximity then look at BS 5837

Is it though? I have seen plenty of real world examples where the tree died despite extensive efforts

Back in the day NPTC used to do ITA. they moved away from it a long time ago With an independent assessor you get independence.

It's a sobering thought, at worst you would only have time to wonder why your rope was pulling before it all went catastrophically wrong Thankfully the majority of UK Chipers are a bit weedy to eat a whole person at one siting so you wou probably get away with mutilation if the fall didn't do for you It does bring the rope management point home well though, that vid has a place in any tool box talk

Yep but it's probably not going to be any where near as painful as that demo makes it seem. Truth of the matter is that the pull would smack you into the tree which would knock you out, that or the fall would hopefully put you out before the chipper went to work on you :thumbdown:

If you appointed a training provider yourself, you should make your complaint to them in the first instance. Your contract would be with the training provider rather than the assessing body
