A real man would be at the Railway Museum, and don't let your wife tell you any diferent:laugh1:

That's not the ideal friction cord, I would go with something a good bit smaller

Oyster, a moveable feast

I have bad news for you, it belongs to arbtalk now

No but I have fitted 2 gearboxes to the same engine, so that's 3 its destroyed

Came out of one:laugh1:

If your kit looks that bad its time to sell it on ebay:laugh1:

I recon the car boot sale bit is made up and I recon he did that to cover the fact that he got it all out of the LOLER fail bin:laugh1::laugh1: Its about five minutes away from me.

That's not tree surgery kit

No Dave that's your point. The point of this thread is that the HSE REQUIRE us to consider other options, that's the point you are missing, or in your case blanking And the thread was the one where you did some rigging

Stickers on all the saws:laugh1::laugh1:

The internet says its mereo magis sudo minor in Latin. Much posher:laugh1:

Fixed that for you:laugh1:

Nooooooooooo, Your set up isn't the average though is it?, a short while back you even made a thread about how novel it was to be doing it like others. You don't get to compare, you already have a big machine for lifting yourself into the tree and lifting brash and timber out. Lifting your self in with a hiab isn't much different than doing it with a mewp:laugh1: As for macho climbers goes, I have met and worked with dozens

You missed the point, you might beat the lift on a short stint once or twice but you cant do that all day You can be the bloke on the stairs with knackered knees or the bloke in the lift expending energy wisely

Well if you needed a bit of cardio, the stairs would be an option, BUT I can ride a lift all day, the stairs maybe till noon:laugh1:

See now there is the big balls attitude that has no place in this discussion. Its not about faster, its about the powers that be requiring us to at least consider an alternative method that may be more appropriate, and when they say more appropriate they mean safer. A lot of climbers in tree work do it because they like the climbing, they like to tell people they are a climber. As we have seen in this thread they consider anything else a dilution of their craft. Lets perspective that, it is a craft, all of it. Climbing and mewp tickets alike, little more than a driving licence for a chainsaw. There are some jobs where rope access is the best solution and there are some where a mewp is the best solution, the difference is the mewp man will know the difference and the macho climber will want to climb it because if he doesn't climb it he becomes ORDINARY, and that would never do. He cant see that the objective is to accomplish the work rather than accomplish it by climbing

The pfanners are a good choice, I rate them for durability. The red ones last even longer, small children will stop and stare at the tit in red pants, all your mates will take the piss and your social media will become a place of ridicule. This means you wont go out in them in daylight so they last loads longer:laugh1:

Nice one, up the luddites:laugh1:

You have stats to back this up of course, either that or it didn't happen:001_rolleyes:

I was doing that before they invented the rules so I think I have an exemption Have a look at the rigging one, there are blokes loading that dumper and not a helmet in sight, I don't know how they are still alive much less arrested:laugh1:

Had a few problems with music copyright and managed to loose a lot of film sorting it out Here is the crash and bash [ame] [/ame] And this is a bit of NC rigging with music that hopefully wont get me in a world of shyte [ame] [/ame]

Sounds like the infeed control had been bypassed It should have a live supply to the switch on the control bar which when tripped sends a live to a latching relay that operates a solenoid valve which stops the oil flow to the rollers Take a couple of pics

You are looking for an out but as long as the HSE says that part of assessing a task should consider ALL methods, your HSE man is going to want you to consider the use of a mewp wherever its practical. Not comfortable with the mewp? experience is the solution to that, leave the macho climber in the bag with your rope and regard felling the tree as the job rather than climbing the tree as the job.
