  1. I didn't go this year talked it over with some of the other guys and decided not to make the trip. I haven't exactly earnt mega bucks this years, so rather than buying all the shiny things i want, i have to stick with what i need. This seemed to be shared by others, many seem to be feeling the pinch. Also the price of fuel...yadda yadde blah blah etc. maybe next year
  2. Loving blues right now [ame= ] [/ame]
  3. thoose surgois are deadly man. took a good 1/4 off the top of my thumb many years ago, surgois lived in the shed since. i did finish that job, hours later the pain of them trying to pull it apart to clean it up was horrific. heal up dude.
  4. Another tree motion fashion icon here
  5. Interested too. Theres not a great deal left of my airstreams to actually wear and I fancy going back to black boots.
  6. one of my first jobs in this industry was a monkey puzzle fell, was also before that firm had a chipper so I was buzzing down on the back. Was like battling a spikey octpus.
  7. Thoose bolts are awful, think someone i know had a set drilled out once, maddness. Liking the file the hex bit down idea, job for tomorrow.
  8. Nice video, its all magic. out of all the the SRT gadgets i think this will incourage more people to give it a bash. i can see this catching on purely as its so simple. I tried the F8 revolver and liked it, still use it when i'm choging down but this is the next step. anyone know a price?
  9. Yew reduction me and Tom did from yesterday, had to bust some serious mover to get out on some of them branches. Also the lion toy we found the other day, there was also a donkey one...so we had races. Made Duncan climb with it too:lol:
  10. Dyna Super glide. Going to have a few new bits soon.
  11. when you need a little extra pull i'm well known for asking for a 2 man tug, funny everytime.
  12. One of the guys i work for was done over on the weekend, hopefully get him to put some more details up. 1 200T 2 260-rear handle on one is broken, damage to chainbreak, worn 16" bars 1 660 combi system polesaw long reach hedge cutters backpack blower (all stihls) 1 black vertex lid 1 yellow vertex lid 2 austria duo2 harnesess- one has a second rope bridge installed+ extra rings. 2 full climbing kits- ropes, spikes etc properly all the lowering kit too even took his boots! think theres more inbreds:thumbdown:
  13. interested to see how you do it steve. Think i'd go with a zip tie between my splice and karb, load it so the adjusters on the karb and it "should" pop off. good luck:thumbup:
  14. Felcos all the way! can't remember what number mine are....their the red ones:001_rolleyes:
  15. I hope you explained that he can actually make a living out of thoose skills, i bet hes already got his tickets booked.
  16. The only negative i can see is that i dont have one:crazy:
  17. Feel like i'm having a real rough ride at the moment. Stuck in a rut in life and the things i'm desperatly trying to change are constantly runnning into problems. Just having constant bad luck and can't stay positive anymore. My minds just not with it, couldn't even do a straight forward reduction firday. Someone else had to take over, which hacked me off even more. Had 2 parties i've not been able to face this weekend and just feeling realy low. Lack of works really getting me down as work=money which leads to some of the changes i want to make in life which will lead to more work and my first proper holiday in 4 years.
  18. Heads up
