  6. kolbre/ skylotec harness ,marlow chamelion 35 meter or salamander 45 meter rope , 3 meter strop , stien cambium saver , art rope guied , as for the rest it depends on the climb and what i will be doing to the tree and what i fancy using at the time , may be a lock jack sport swivel may be use the hitcher or just a plane old distel .
  7. looks great mate looks like alot of time and effort went itno making it , im also glad it was not me that had to pay for it !!!
  8. i think it was a case that the tre was not to big and 60 -80 ton crane not to small , it may have been that the section of tre that was cut had swung out of the cranes lift radius and pulled it over , the only reason i say that is because it happened in wales a couple years ago to an ainscough crane
  9. wow i wonder what my £50 note without the queens head on it is worth then ? i bought it for a new 20p lol jokes
  10. we use bio oil but have not looked int bio fuel yet , i expect it will be something that takes a bit of time before its an option down in cornwall but i will not rule it out in the future
  11. on and off all my life .
  12. thats somewhere in cornwall i have never been to , whats it like ??
  13. ha ha great josh when can you start lol
  14. i love the heay but need to get some re-hydration owder to go in to my watter , any ides anyone ?
  15. all the timber and some of the chip as well mate its amaing what a transit will take ha ha
  16. i do indeed steve , would you sit back and allow someone to make a statement about you paying penuts and not give your side of it ?? im based down in cornwall where things are very different to many other areas of the country . im not saying that i pay amazing money but for where i am it is more than some companies pay !
  17. not at all , i am not going to start offering someone top money before they do so much as a weeks work if at the end of the week i thought they were genuinly interested in the job i would offer more , how many guys have you offered top money after doing 4 days work ??? when i learnt about running a buisnes etc one of the first things we were told about when it came to interviews/ work trialls was not to offer the most your willing to pay . it is negotiable at the end of the interview/trial .!
  18. nope sorry i was a ten weeker in sept 2004
  19. ha ha ha ha verry true bob
  20. true alex but i would hate to be seen to walk away without putting all of you in the picture
  21. yes the pics will be on here as soon as i get them mate
  22. lok im not getting into an argument . no i did not ask for and money because that aint they way i work, i did offer to put as it seemed the decent thing to do and to give you chance to come down and see what you thought , you made it quite clear to me that you had other job interviews nearer to your children , at no point did you say you were not interested in the job because of the money you actually said that you would have to see how your kids felt about you moving down here and that was the last i heard from you about it . i assumed you had not been in touch because your kids wanted you nearer to them !!!
  23. i try to pay what a person is worh but how many people will offer someone a job that they dont know and have never seen work and offer them top money , had ross spoken to me about it or been able to stay a few more days im sure i would have offered him more money , i used to work for a guy down here that payed me £50 a day as a climber using my own gear because his was not up to the job so i know about poor wages when after tax i was taking home less than £200 per week , tbh in cornwall the wages are poor but i do feel i make the effort to pay people a fair wage for a fair days work .
