    It's all part of the world domination plan!! I thought it would be a good way to see some different places, make some decent money and get plenty of dangerous trees under the belt.

    Cerne - it's a long shot and i've not spoken to them recently by you could try contacting Urban Forestry, the guys name is Reg Harris. Reg gave me some advice years ago when I was a kiddie and that's what initially led me down the tree work path when I left school. I'm from Bury St Edmunds originally, and Urban Forestry always had allot of work on, and good boys too - They do allot of Landscaping as well if I remember right. Good luck anyway mate. Matt

Bartletts If you're hungry for work, and you dont mind working hard i'm almost certain they would have something for you, even if it was grounding for a start. Good friend of mine works for them as a consultant -seem a reasonable bunch...dont know what anyone elses experiences are with them, but theyre a big company and have allot of LA work. Matt

    Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has heard of a company called 'UN Arb' ?? Some pals of mine were talking the other day about this company, apparently they take climbers out to sites of natural disaster for make-safe operations all over the world for make safe of dangerous trees and take down of damaged trees. I've been trying to find out about international arborist companies but so far have not found any positive leads.. Are there any companies out there that do clear up operations after hurricanes/high winds/forest fires etc?? Any info much appreciated, Matt

    One of the lads that works for me uses a lockjack and a rope guide instead of standard prusiks, and he swears by it. Me i'm still on the prusik cause i'm too tight to buy a lockjack! Shreks Wee Brother - if you're getting too old, you could use one of these... http://www.powerquickinc.com/index.htm

    Tell me about it - gorse clearance on vertical cuttings - what a pain in the arse. Regarding your throw bag, if you cant get the branch you want within three tries, go for the lowest branch or a lower branch and take it from there.. throw bag on the end of your climbing line works wonders. Matt
