  1. The main killer for young climbers in today's environment is red tape . No rope can compete with that . Although multiplat is bloody robust and strong to boot
  2. Seriously though multiplat / octiplat rope is a real good climbing / rigging rope . Not overpriced and hard wearing . I know of a few old boys who buy there rope from the fishing industry . The combined age of the two old boys is 128 yrs old yozza .
  3. Multiplat was one massive step up from 3 strand I actually tried climbing on an old 3 strand nylon line maybe two years back ...and boy it was hard work . Multiplat is my go to general rigging line nowadays . Back in the day it was a better life line and more flexible than any 3 strand . Now its more commonly found pulling up anchors in the shipping industry . Value for money rope that doesn't kink when handling
  4. Okey Dokey time to set the record straight or even level ? My customers trees were subject to criminal damage and thats a fact . The property owner that committed the abysmal Pruning attack was unfortunately living in a new build which had been built directly behind my clients fence line ? Tis a modern day phenomenon ? People just don't speak over the fence / Hedge anymore . Seriously people ... especially you younguns have some banter with your neighbors . It works wonders
  5. As I was saying a few weeks back . Well here are the pics . The finished product is not ideal but hey I do what the customer wants . Turned out all the falling out was over a poor satellite signal ?
  6. You can grease my nipples whenever you fancy babe Yes in the real world /site work the young 360/180 drivers don't seem to want to do the daily grease duty ? When they do they kinda miss some important grease points ? This is me speaking from my observations of site work .
  7. Your just jealous of my power lifting physique lol Hope to see you and your lovely lady soon
  8. All depends on what you want to do on your weekend mission If you want any road bike advice .... PM Mick Stockbridge . This Man has knowledge and more on biking .
  9. Don't let this put you off Carbon Fibre . I just think I,m Evil Kinevil .. sponsored by Red Bull when i'm in the saddle
  10. Mountain biking now ya talking I love it . Although my carbon fibre forks on my hybrid road bike crushed / snapped when i hit a sizable pot hole ? It prompted me to swap them for a light alloy replacement . Side impact on a carbon fibre frame is not pretty .
  11. 8 / 9 " will fit the smallest 5kw log burner . This is our standard size any bigger the customer must ask for end of ...
  12. To all the Lady's and Gentlemen who love trees / tree work and also are lucky enough to work in the industry . Well we really need to educate people who work in the industry just for a wage on how these magnificent statues of nature work
  13. Sorry to hear matey . I always look out for your vids . Just like you said a hard paper round . Subbies always get the up hill round and thats just a fact . Teaching the younguns maybe a good idea as your teaching from experience which is ....for me the best source by far . I'm 44 + and should be sponsored by Codeine ......... All the best in your quest .
  14. That you had my bearded friend
  15. Come on Big T . A bit of grinding for a man of your caliber ain't no problem
  16. Ha ha ha ya cheeky git I swear down all my customers suddenly seem to have Alzheimer's when it comes to payment
  17. Lol ya beggar
  18. Cool pic matey ..... very calming . Roll on winter I say
  19. Some of those apps are rubbish . I for one would never want to rely on an app to save my ass however fat it maybe . If your in a residential area a whistle will suffice . If your unconscious no doubt a nosey neighbor will be watching .Trust me someone will be there / turn up . Out in the woods 100m or even many km from the nearest dwelling you need another man . That's a fact . Common sense again guys . Just make sure you get home safe . If in doubt get the winch out ......little felling motto
  20. Spot on fella ..... Just add a whistle and we are ( trawling the same waters ) as they say )
  21. Can you not just shorten the towing frame on an ordinary trailer . This could cause problems when reversing though ? Why not extend your chipper chute ..... lots cheaper .
  22. Some tree guys in France that I know always poison the tree before felling . They think this way is better as the tree is still actively growing and will absorb more poison ? 3 weeks later they turn up and take the tree down .
