It’s a tough gig for sure Dan. I doubt they are ever called in to find anything nice. No search is ever foolproof, especially in those conditions. I can often fail to find my truck keys/vape/glasses etc. after a detailed search of my workbench, so it’s a bit of an ask in muddy, flowing and tidal conditions. Simplest explanation is a tragic accident, but we may never know for sure. RIP, anyway.

Air compressors.. which kind to get & what do you use yours for?
Mark Bolam replied to Cordata's topic in General chat
Some good suggestions here. I could certainly do with a new compressor before my cheapo 20 year old one blows up. It just keeps on going though, exclusively for tyres and blowing out saws. A quiet one would be nice. As Dan has mentioned, I’ve done the naked walk of shame to the workshop a couple of times when I’ve forgotten to turn it off! It always makes me laugh when people slag off a particular saw and I ask what compressor they use? ’What compressor?’ How you can properly maintain a saw without one is completely beyond me? -
I picked one of these up at the APF as well. Not for saws, but a lovely little thing. Can fold flat to your harness if required. Micro Vault | Accessories | DMM Wales DMMWALES.COM Browse Micro Vault products in Accessories. Available to buy online, delivered direct from DMM Wales.

The locker is great for this very reason!

Good point mate!

Oh no, imagine having to take a tree down in sections. Nightmare. I think I’ve got the same picture in my head as everyone else of the ‘Tree Surgeon’ passing sections down to his ‘assistants’.

That looks good for slinging a big saw by the handle. I use a large caritool with the gate removed for this, with my Vault on the other side.

How do you do that Will? I haven’t drained my cheapo one in about 20 years! -
Is Stoke too far mate? Kirklands were great when they built a new back for my Transit.

Your neighbour is being completely unreasonable. Can you get a TPO put on the tree?
-
Pictures would help enormously, especially side on up the boundary line.

I can’t. I’m bang to rights.

I kind of meant how can you frame a cheque once you’ve paid it in?
-
Poker chips are a pita, I agree. I mean lumps like half that piece that snapped your loopie.
-
We hardly ever negative rig. I reckon it’s quicker bombing chunks onto a half filled ton bag.
-
Nice Alex, but what’s with the ‘Hello Sailor!’ sling?
-
Yeah, we lock stuff off all the time if we need to. Sounds like there wasn’t much else you could do tbf Joe, as you say must be a CTF thing. Glad you only bust the inside of your pants.
-
Lovely work. Pretty pointless imo as well as yours, but very tidy. Joe, were you using rings or a block? Did the groundie stop it dead?
-
Am I missing something obvious here?
-
Stolen I would imagine.

Doobin has summed it up perfectly. Yell once told me they had had ‘400 enquiries for tree work in Hamstreet in the last week’. That was more than one per house! They are lying scum, avoid.

First stump over about 6” I would think!
