Why is a winch a silly idea? Yes, nibbling the tips would have been better, but he’s still going down with the tree if he’s tied to it when it eventually triggers.

His anchor could have been bomber Mark. Then he would have been torn in half. As Hairy said earlier, even if he hadn’t been stropped in and everything went to plan that head could have wiped him out. I feel sorry for the lad, but he f’d up. So did his ground crew.

Are you qualified to do surveys Jack?

This is gay, college style advice. We’ve discussed at length on here the non-benefits of thinning pines. With a lean like that there’s something intrinsically wrong with that group of trees. It’s fell all or leave as far as I’m concerned. If you mince around with them instead and they fall it’s more on you. He should consider moving his shitty garage instead.

I’ve had one for a few years, it’s a good harness, no complaints. I don’t really notice much about it tbh, which is probably a good compliment. Quick on and off, and positive metal buckles. Gear loops and webbing configuration give plenty of options.

Exactly that Mick. Like Joe Newton stopping that young lad topping himself on the job he turned up at.

But that would look shit on Instagram.

That’s true Les, but this was a bit more than cutting corners. Everything about the way the job was carried out was totally wrong.

I know Paul, that’s why I have one. I’m not bothered about the legality though. Stupid law outdated by several decades.

If you’re concerned about staying legal you should steer clear of any 3.5 tonner.

Big MEWP with good outreach would have been safer than climbing, but still not the best option.

Or a big winch. With trees like that you can’t piss about trying to save fences or roadside daffodils.

He’s a hero mate, but he shouldn’t have to do it.

Not bringing the mood down, but it is disgusting Les that your lad has to pick up litter. What the actual f is wrong with people? Tufty Club was 50 years ago. Everyone is an eco-warrior. We’ve got a great bunch of young un’s in our own very village who do the same, but it’s disheartening to see the black bags of crap pile up. I really, really hate litter. Transit and Fiesta are full of crap until clearout because I won’t ever have crap chucked out. I have broken 2 windscreens this year of people who don’t share my views, one on a garage forecourt with full cctv. One was a traveller, but that could be coincidence. The other was a similar shitbag who didn’t fancy getting out of the vehicle when I went full ‘litter mental’ mode.

In retrospect Dave, probably the best time of my life! Simple, happy times.
