John, that's a tough one... I do feel for you. Growing up after my parents split up, after my father strayed, and going into my teens.. my old chap only ever saw us at weekends and occasionaly over school hollidays... let me tell you it's not great for the kids either. I'm just getting my head around becoming a dad in a few months time... sound advice.

As there are Heras pannels behind the tree, is it possible the cameras are there as a temporary measure?? Looks pretty crap to be fair, if they are to be there permanently you would have thought they could have installed a pole or something.

Think you might be right stevie!!

I thought it looked pretty smart.... the trunk, or whats left of it is about 7ft tall if that gives you some idea of scale

Found this today... Gunna leave it cause I think it looks cool and it's in the middle of nowhere. Any idea what could have caused this?? It's obviousley a twin leader, but I was wondering if it could have been caused by lightening?? It must have failed some time in the past two weeks, but I dont think we've had any thunder storms.. Only other explanation is it must have split down the leader and collapsed.

(holding hands up) You got me there Skyhuck... fair cop. I have never and would never try to say I'm perfect, but as far as having climbers in adjacent trees goes H & S wise.... I don't see a problem with it. AND..... i've see alot worse and know of alot worse going on all over the place. We had a H & S inspection a few months ago on the railway job I was on.... climbers were in adjacent trees then too and nothing was said?!

Never used one... seems to work well for Martin though. The harness dosent look comfy enough for me, love my treemotion too much!

Most of my work is commercial rather than for private clients, but if it was the other way round I would probably go down the road of having company t-shirts rather than high-viz because i'd be able to get away with it easier. There's not really any gypos going about here.... not on the commercial side anyway, theres a few dodgy private companies about, one in particular who's an absolute arse. The only other gypos about would be me! lol

Just checked that link.....yep, looks exactly the same.

I have no idea.... I'll ask him next time I speak to him, I thought is was a comet, but maybe i'm wrong.

Nah, he's got a pair of saw trousers with vents in the back of them! Pretty good idea I think.

Most professionals wear high-viz on-site. It sets a standard and allows everyone to see each other clearly, up a tree, on the ground, wherever you are, if you are on one of my sites, you are wearing high-viz for all chainsaw operations, climbing, forestry, railway, roadside, the lot.
