    The most annoying problem I have come across and this goes for most Council Tree Officers . They never answer the bloody phone or have a retarded message that says they are out of the office at the moment so leave a message or a call back . ****** They are always out of the pigging office . Many never even return your call I really do believe that a Tree Officer should first of all spend time on the tools and then progress . Best Tree Officer I have ever dealt with was a very skilled arborist that sustained an injury due to work and ended up a TO .

    Ian we have one that hopefully will be flying from the nest shortly at nearly 20 yrs old . Our 14 yr old lad is a lazy play station late sleeping beggar . Now its the school holidays he will be splitting logs at the yard and raking up on the domestic jobs for at least 3 days a week . The same thing his brother went through . I always thought it was unprofessional to have my kids at work during the holidays or weekends . Although I was pleasantly surprised to find that nearly all of my domestic customer base was really liking the idea of me getting the boys used to the work place . On the flip side they got some mental tips £ 5 £ 10 notes Mcdonalds and even Kfc bought for them I do have friends in the tree world that do find it really hard . Hope you find a cool solution

    Ha ha ha spot on fella . My everyday climbing kit for trees up to 50ft is stored in a ............yes you guessed it a camouflage bag . You wouldn't believe how many times I have nearly lost the beggar Hi viz all the way

    Maybe .... and this is just a thought you should offer to work for said timber or at least mention that your willing to pay for it

    Now ya talking boys . Ley Lines and Tunnels are something I have dabbled in for many years now . This quaint pass time has had me all over the uk . Last year I / We found a deep cave next to a powerful waterfall .... near a large northern city . We only had a short rope to descend but never the less this tunnel is marked as an SFFI ....site for further investigation . These lines usually have powerful magnetic fields . The Mersey Tunnel for example has many tributary's shall we say . Turn down one and its surprising how many bodies will suddenly appear and gladly escort you to the nearest exit ? It gets warm really warm underground to the point where you need to shed clothing .

    That inner edge was sharp when new lol so why not . Im just a tad over the top with keeping things sharp . I can see where your coming from though I do try to get my old multi tip teeth .... Squared off when they are smaller as I find they cut better . I only do this due to the cutting area being reduced in size .

    I have a pedestrian hydraulic driven machine . Powered by a 20hp Kohler engine . This is fitted with the multi tip system and it is bloody amazing . One allen head bolt per tooth is great .This makes for super fast changing . The only gripe for me is not being able to sharpen in between the teeth ? Have you ever considered selling your un sharpened and abused multi tip teeth ? I d buy them Pm me lets get a deal on I sharpen mine on a green wheel ... Silicone Carbide . By the time Im done with the blighters they are as small as a peanut lol .

    Wasps

    White Noise replied to Fozzie's topic in The Lounge

    Sorry I posted a few weeks back that wasps were lacking this year . I still have only seen a few ? and the nests I have come across have only ever been small and empty ? South Cheshire so far is low on the wasp count . Although I have been informed that they will be here on mass late September ?

    Evening people long story cut short I was gifted a box of outdated crisps . The cheap n nasty space invader type . I accepted them and really pleased with my free bargain box so I am . Anyhow I have been leaving a few invaders pickled onion flavored around the yard every night . Sure the foxes are munching on them ? I just wondered what was the best camera to stick up the nearest tree to catch the blighters . Clarity of vision would be nice ? I have cctv on our yard gate . Just wanted something mobile less than a hundred buff . Also have buzzards at our yard most days to ? Could it be badgers ? Just curious is all . Might even be a Woodland Spriggan . A what ? Goggle it for yourself . Our main yard is a Beech Ash Sycamore woodland with lots of old growth stumps now surrounded by the over flowing bracken

    Nice one Danny . Ive been in the job for over 20yrs and only have a few videos that customers have done of me climbing ? Millions of photos though . I hate technology ......... sorry thats wrong I just dont know how the buggar works lol . Keep posting matey

    Totally agree with Mr Bolam . Took me a can of Polish Lager at 7% . Not all Treemen have an eye for the final product Another quality job .

    Top respect fella . Biking is a cool way to get fit and see things you wouldn't see in ya truck aim for hills hills and more hills . Mick Stockbridge is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to pedal power

    Many ex forces on here . I myself would opt for a less physical role in the work place if I were in your shoes . Having served myself I would look at tree work /climbing as a very arduous day to day task . Hard on the body and mind . If your an Infantryman NCO or other and you think your fit . Offer a days free groundwork for a local company ? Id sooner do a 13 miler with full kit in the brecon beacons . As I hate dragging brash past flower pots that fall over and ridiculously stupid access scenarios . Not to mention postage stamp drop zones when you finally get to climb ?
  20. White Noise
    Totally agree with you on this one
  21. White Noise
    I feel for you young lady .... I myself sometimes have thought the same thing . Although some people ask some daft questions ? Its maybe just that they are not as experienced in the world of wood as most on here ? Cut some slack to the new boys and ignore the hero's I have spoke out of turn on here a few times . These things happen lets just hope the majority learn and grow from it . I'm still trying

    I really like another arbtalkers aka Breezeblocks solution of bolting it to your chipper . You will use it lots more ..... seriously I ratcheted mine to our little TW 125 and it gets used more now than ever . As its always accessible
