  1. I meant Chinese food! That is worrying though.
  2. Awesome looking tree Bro, could you guestimate the height? Drew how far would that one be from the Kauri that that you and Jonno climbed with the pro-vid last year? Keeps us all keen over here fellas!
  3. Steve, do you think you could sort a 'fingers crossed' icon? Useful in so many situations!
  4. Sweet as Reg. What was the weight of that last pick?
  5. I can't remember what it's like to be too hot!
  6. Deadwood and raise on a big Ash. No before pic, but there seemed to be a lot of timber on the ground for not much difference visually! Teamed up with Rich Rule for this one, he did the left hand stem, I did the right. He installed my ropeguide for me, so I returned the compliment by retrieving his when it got stuck (from the ground, Thank God, it was Friday!). Very slippy climb, my branch walks were bum-shuffles! Tried Rich's Imori on this one, and really rated it. Bacon and sausages on the fire for lunch went down well, customer was happy with the tree. Good day all round.
  7. From selling 'seasoned firewood' of course!
  8. Good stuff Rupe. Looked a bit of a brain twister that one.
  9. I won't buy Nike, they are an awful company. 5% sounds about right to me, but it decreased every year as the word of mouth factor kicks in. Thank God! Always important to gain new business, though, and I think the media that will work for you will depend a lot on area and the kind of work you want to chase.
  10. I'll be there. I'm going to drink Lorry Thompson under the table. Then have a climb....
  11. I thought Nike spent a 1/3 of there dollars on advertising?
  12. Eucalyptus rolphharris I believe is the correct latin tag. Unbelievable!
  13. Nice work. Nowhere near 40% though, surely? (which is a good thing!). Was a bit brisk today. Nearly slopped my coffee in the cab at one point.
  14. Should have said, it depends what you want it for. 6-man crew on slash and crash clearance - no. 2-3 man crew on average domestic stuff - yes.
  15. I would. Great machine pound for pound. I wouldn't swap mine.
  16. Impressive mate. Bet you enjoyed a glass of vin that night....
  17. Nice to have a clamber about and a natter to old and new friends. Great spot Mark, cheers. I can see a few 'ropewalker' components being purchased in the next few weeks! Cheers for the demo Rich. I've just got back from hospital after having my stomach pumped and my colon shotblasted in an attempt to remove Stus sausage sandwich. My dog sadly caught rabies from it and has had to be destroyed. These 15 San Miguels for a tenner are beginning to ease the pain though. Thanks for the lift Mr. Schmidt, see you Thursday. Mani friendly site obviously.
  18. 'Still got the blues' has some of the best riffs ever. RIP Gary.
  19. Good post Lorry. I can feel pipes with me saw these days, i seem to be hitting the ground that much....
  20. Top vid Josh, but too much cut and hold. Most of those pieces could be safely free-falled. Make your groundies sweat. They must be getting fat with you stacking everything for them! Looked a lovely part of the world.
  21. Nice fell Woody. When you go back to dismantle that Monkey Puzzle in the background - please don't call me!
