    yeah i can imagine it must have been totally sole destroying but if lessons have been learnt from it then why not get up dust your self off and give it another go ?? im sure you will agree that it beats working freelace spending the greater portion of your time climbing minging trees that no one elts wants to do !!

    yeah i was pretty popular with the one man bands , they could then take work on that was way out of their leagu and simply get me in to do it with my kit . in the end i had been taken for a fool once to many times so decided to go out on my own and to be honest i think its the best move i have ever made , i have not been running my own company for about two and a half years and although there have been some serious bumps along the way i am loving it and the guys that work with me are spot on and totally trustworthy ,

    before running my own company i was a freelance climber but i was foolish and provided way too much kit - i carried every size saw i could need from an ms200t to a ms880 with 4 foot bar , a lowering kit , utility poles etc etc . i was takenb the piss out of but looking back at it i was a fool to provide all that kit for £100 a day

    oh right , i was curious as i was chatting to a utilitty cutter from glendale and he was saying how they have all been bought petzel hats , he was saying thats its something to do with the hats now needing a 4 or 5 point harness system but to be honest it was the first i had heard of it
