And a flak jacket, Last time I was there (a while back) some "intellectual" came out of the café "M" and pelted me with oranges for felling a knackered street tree. Didn't stop to wonder what underpaid third worlder got a handful of rice or how many carbon miles:laugh1: -
Bit more detail would be good Haecksler is the German word for chipper

I know White Noise personally and if this wasn't a life changing event for the scrote, it wont be for the lack of effort.

From memory it was part of a study of pollen records. They took core samples in peat deposits that provided stratification evidence. There was a huge furore about DED, bans on movement order and such like. They had found substantial absences of Elm pollen over periods of time that lead them to conclude that Elm was absent for an extended period. I remember being secretly quite pleased at the time, I took it to mean there would be plenty of big climbs and fells in the offing, young and gung ho, break out the 076

A lot of the problems you describe are just nature levelling things out, the problems with the flowering cherry is a good example, its a non native over hybridised mess. HC is questionable native, probably an introduction Nature says 3/10, must try harder Your personal life cycle rotation is far to quick, pests and diseases move in cycles measured in decades or centuries, DED is a good example, there is good evidence it a repeat of an event that happened centuries before. Don't sweat what you cant change, we spent fortunes in time and money sanitising DED, phytopthora and the like, all to no effect whatsoever. Plant native species with a diverse genetic provenance.

Ha ha You got that wrong, the rescue climber doesn't sit on his duff all day, they would be part of a working gang and rescue training qualifies you to rescue but not as a climber for chainsaw work
-
If you are using a free lancer logically he needs a rescue climber so why cant that be you? The average freelancer doesn't bring a rescue climber. You might have to pay for some of the training yourself though

If reccy is recreation then you can

I don't get the pillow case thing, that's just going to keep any muck in the pillow case (on the tope) which kind of defeats most of the objective. Just wash it, I have been washing ropes for decades with nothing more sophisticated than whatever soap was under the kitchen sink

What's the access like? Its best value is when split and ready for delivery, what are your costs to get it to that state. Deduct those costs to see your potential profit. For the most part that oversize nail ridden poor access timber isn't much of a deal

Could this woodland wasp sting death prevented?

In order for it to be effective any treatment would need to be administered promptly. This would probably require prior knowledge of the condition and to have the medication on hand. -
You are asking it to be all things to all men

I don't know what intellectual property rights are protected but AFAIK the patent was granted to a German chap, quite a while back. I used one in Germany back in the late 80's

There is a bloke on here called Reg Coates that might be able to help you :laugh1:

Well you can do it on the cheap and where an experienced climber should be able to get on with whatever kit he gets handed, as a beginner you would benefit from kit you were most comfortable with and particularly, some mentoring. The budget buster is the fact that to stay legal you need more kit and trained people, your employer has a legal obligation that applies to employees and subbies alike. As long as nothing goes wrong all will be well but when the wheels come off the HSE are going to be all over it and they powers that be will run prosecutions against any and all they see fit.

Love it

The point is that this person is an employee so the person in charge is going to have to deal with that

DILIGAF See google

So, going by the book the first thing you need is someone equipped and trained for rescue so all kit is x2 as is training I think your £750 is hopelessly optimistic, a top handles saw is going to kick the ass out of that before you have spent a couple of hundred for a couple of harnesses, ropes are going to be a onner each, several biners at a minimum of a tenner each and the list goes on

What he said

Now that did strike me as odd, men dressed on full English tweeds complete with a spaniel or two blasting the bejesus out of anything that moved regardless of vermin game or songbird was somewhat surreal. I am all for kill it cool it eat it but there isn't much eating on a songbird
-
Out of interest, how did you arrive at that figure? A climbing kit is personal choice, you can go top of the line tech or manage with as little as a harness and a couple of biners. Decide what kit you want first

You just can't answer a simple question can you.
