Every time i click on a different page the computer keep trying to go to different web site, something about one earth. I am not sure what it is as bull guard blocks it. Is there possibly a problem with hackers/ malicious virous ?

Both have there merits, and both have there negatives. The skill of a good climber is to know when to use which one, and how to adapt it safely to your particular style of climbing.

I am sure that there must be a double entendre about shiney helmets that glow in the dark.........

Good to see some proper gnarley verterans, did you feel better after your walk ?

If it was in my garden i would not be overly worried, the tree seems to be coping.

Not that local but it might be worth a try: Machinery Hire - Aberystwyth & Pembrokeshire | Dylan Thomas

Somebody has spent too long polishing it, with that kind of shine is ceases to be a work vehicle.

I have had a couple of pairs of walking boots re-soled in the past. One pair worked very well, the other didn't. For it to work the leather has to to be in good condition and not too streched, otherwise the leather will distort and they won't fit.

Take some cuttings in the winter and getting them grafted will be the only way of being certain of keeping the tree alive. Just make sure that the wood is clean and free from infection. Looking a the pictures i would say that the tree is suffering from old age that has lead to infections that is making the problems worse. You can try cutting out the worst of the dead/ infected wood but given the amounts it will probably be too much and the tree will die. Better off letting the tree die gracefully and leaving it for deadwood habitat, and replanting with the freshly grafted wood.

Woodland Management, Firewood, Charcoal - Business Plan
slack ma girdle replied to Ty Unnos's topic in Business Management
Every method has its flaws. I measure when the timber is stacked, and work it back from there. And as it is only me that is doing the measuring there can only be one answer. The main reason that i use m3 is that it is a constant, and does not change as the moisure content changes. It also gives me an advantage when selling in the woods as i can say with some certancy how much is in a stack and how much i want form it. What works for one does not always work from another. -
Woodland Management, Firewood, Charcoal - Business Plan
slack ma girdle replied to Ty Unnos's topic in Business Management
I would stick with m3, as this is constant. Tons are fine if you have either a weigh bridge or axels with built in scales. I am selective thinning hardwood i reckon on about 60-70 trees a da y(that equals approx 12 m3), as most trees will be a pig to get on the deck. With the mighty Nuffield i am pulling out about 15 m3 a day and cutting to 12 ' lenghts. With the forwarder i can manage about 9 loads a day (about 5 m3 per load) to road side. Hope this helps -
turkey oak delivers on the visuals, but it has the strength of balsa (that may be a sweeping statement, anyone got a brush). Good for one thing: Looking magnificent in the grounds of a stately house.

It is 114 or 115 for a 36" bar on 3/8, but that is probably not much help.

Your groundie only just managed to keep enough tension for the top. It looked like some furious scrabbling to hold on. Good video

Fell it along the hedge, and mill it on site. For the cost of hiring a crane you could afford to buy a chainsaw mill, big bar and chain. Even if it turns out to be no good, it can still go for logs. Simples.

How did this happen? prize for the nearest theory!

Land Rover Land Rover la la la lala........

cheers for the replys peoples. This tree was resting on two branches that were on either side of the trunk, so i was reasonable sure that it was not going to roll. But to be sure i had it tied off to th landrover on one side, and to a tree on the other, whilst i was felling out the high up branches. I have in the past used other trees as anchor points so that i can drop down onto the tree and not have to worry about it rolling, but this was not available. It just got me thinking whilst i was scrabbling around under a couple of tons of timber: is there a different way ?
-
Good, but not quite i am after.
-
At this point, the tree is completely detatched from its root plate as it got blown off in the gales last year. The tree is just resting on its branches. I was wondering how people go about getting the high up branches (in this case 15' up) down without killing themselves
-
Whilst cutting up this blown tree i was thinking about safely getting the tree on the gound. How do you do it ? Safety consideration ? Tricks, knacks etc. There are a couple of other pictures that i have taken which i will post as this discussion (hopefully) proceeds.

Whats happened to summer ??
slack ma girdle replied to Salix Tree & Countryside's topic in The Lounge
Lit the wood burner for the first time tonight. Outside temp is a barmy 10 degrees C and dropping. We normally have a warm sunny spell once the kids have gone back to school, but it does not look like it this year.
