  5. my eyes are watering just at the thought of it:scared1:
  6. "humping the tree" beginners with a prussik.
  7. this is when you are on your spikes and strop, sconning down a dead trunk.(i served my time on dead elms)and you slip!you XXit yourself and grab that tree like a "wolverine death grip"this is the best description we came up with after a few magners.Has anyone else got any other sayings for the goings on in our job?
  8. remember your head is the heaviest part of your body, if you are using a prussik dont have it too long, i always have a really long one for getting up nice and quick, but it is a hindrense when branch walking. but if you are bricking yourself you will be fine. stick in there and as the other guys say it will just come together.hang in there mate.
  9. modern technology, we only got channel 4 last week:001_tongue:
  10. oh the throbby pulse of a silky wound.ouch:scared1:

  12. safe drive, hope you get home safely.you and your fancy blackberry
  13. we pretty much have a deal in place if and when, but niether of us want to want any more finance. you are right about back up and service. hes a good lad our alex. better go. simpsons is on
  14. its the 8-400 that i would like, have spoke to alex about said machine. i would of bought one straight off the stand a couple of years ago, and signed the dotted line, but as my personal circumstances have changed aswell as the current market i am glad i didnt. i am going to do it the old fasioned way and just save up, unless i could get an outlet for good chip or a contract chipping.
  15. good stuff mate, i would like to get one more, but i dont know if that could be possible. I dont know how these things work even if you explained very slowly. keep us posted.
  16. or buy one of these with full air brake system and a big trailer built to rd spec. didnt know about the 20mph max speed though(not the landy)
  17. no bother, but back to the original "how much" 36k is what alex offered me on a trade in.
