  1. Just wear your clip and step boots whenever you're climbing.
  2. Fair play mate! How did you deal with the stick?
  3. Yes Felix, it's 'brushwood relocation operative', you idiot.
  4. Most pro outfits would charge between £350-£600 per day for a two man team (one climbing), with a chipper and tipper. If you try and establish a business charging £150, you'll just p-off all your early customer base when you start charging realistic money.
  5. Good plan Richie, get stocked up before all the morons start panic buying!
  6. You'll have no tools when they're all knackered and you're skint.
  7. Cheers Mark, Caritools here this morning. Hope you had a good drive back. I found one of your socks under the wife's side of the bed though?
  8. I ordered a replacement blade for my 300mm Zubat, which dropped on the mat this morning. Upon close and repeated inspection, it became apparent that the package contained only the blade, and NO SWEETIES WHATSOEVER! The kids Christmas is a write-off. This one will take some getting over.
  9. McVities dark chocolate digestives with tea. Ginger biscuits with coffee. Both at home. At work, Jaffa Cakes and Jammy Dodgers.
  10. Wouldn't they winch back up? They could then be keep upright with some blue telecom cord.
  11. Same. Genuine Lifeproof are pricey, but then so is the phone.
  12. I've dismantled them, and would again, but I never left the stem. Chip volume and weight of timber is monstrous. Groundies need lots of beer afterwards. Reduction? Life's too short.
  13. They wanted 'more light' Al, even though they 'love trees'.

    Hahahaha! Good luck with it mate. Definitely plank it sooner rather than later. I had a nice little piece barn-stored for about 8 years. Had a play last week and it was riddled.
  15. Of course mate. Sorry if I came across as negative, I was just bing realistic.
  16. Talk to RobD mate. Pretty sure you'd only have to buy longer rails. 48" would indeed be a PITA for smaller stuff, but then so is having to hack down decent timber because you went too small!
