  2. I like the waxcap photo 👍 Wot are the small blobby ones?
  3. Any thoughts, i am heading towards a Woodwax, but not sure. Growing out of a bed of spruce needles .
  4. If it falls, what is it likely to fall on? If nothing of importance leave it alone to do its thing, don't park near it particularly in stormy weather.
  5. Ask if they have had a BS5837 tree report, and what mitigation measures are in place. You will have cause to object if they haven't. The tree will become a bone of contention in the future because of its proximity
  6. Absolute Peanuts, if you are lucky. Someone is making money from biomass, but it aint the likes of you and me
  7. We are losing alot of Lawson's cypress to Phytophthora here in west Wales. They normally have the dark lesion on the bark.
  8. I've had the solidur water proof jacket from Chris forestry for 18 months, and it is still waterproof. Good value at less than £100
  9. Don't tell anyone that in west Wales . You can't make a living selling roadside at that price. Lucky you
  10. The big disadvantage of skip chain the resulting damage when you hit something, less teeth massively inceases the amount of damage. One nail can result in loss of half a tooth. I have stopped using skip chain.
  11. Another one for the Solidur, cheap, hard wearing, and long lasting.
  12. The smaller ones will never attain their potential, and reduce the growth of the surrounding (better) trees. You have to be ruthless when thinning
  13. It can only be a good year, when it starts with this !

  14. @AHPPgood points particularly about the gloves. There is nothing worse than having to wear a gloves on the wrong hands because you have worn a hole in one, and trying to get a quick turn around . Mackerel mitted has never been so app.
  15. Towie Works in Carmarthen sell everything you need. The conversation is really simple.
  16. You have the experience to make the right decision as to which is the most applicable. No one system does everything. Starting with the basics underpins everything else.
  17. Don't be so defensive, the point Mr Squirrel is making is a valid one, inexperience is the best way of making things go badly wrong. Which given the nature of forces involved can have a catastrophic consequences for the climber. The Arb industry is obsessed with shiny bling, when in reality 90% of the time is not really needed. Buy 50m of Marlow Nelson 3 ply, and learn to natural crutch rig properly . Sub contract to some other local companies and use their equipment to see what works for you Serbrooke tree services produced a good video on this.
  18. If your bags are the same size as these, then they are 0.2 m3, which is 5 bags to the cube. Barrow Bags for Logs (Vented) SACKMARKET.CO.UK Heavy duty reuseable Barrow Bags for Logs with Vented sides 45x45x95cm high (approx) 4 x 20cm high lifting loops...
  19. I don't get alot if these loverley trees, but they generally need some creative rigging, hence the videos. There has been a lot of other domestic jobs between these two, but nothing of note.
  20. A quick bit of rigging just before Christmas. To stop the branches rolling down the hill we used mostly verticle speed lining. Quick and simple just like me !
  21. Gardens and public open spaces are exempt from felling licences.
  22. Biggus diggus looking tiny, nice sunset.
  23. You need a felling licence .
  24. I was hoping for the easy option, without having to fabricate a frame. I have 8 Case weights from my old tractor.
  25. I don't suppose that anyone has a set of front weights for the above?
