If you heat up the end of a chainsaw file and melt a hole in your rope you can thread a small piece of throwline through tie in a loop and when retrieval is needed girth hitch the retrieval ball on the throwline loop.

After my Arbpro clip and steps have come to the end of their life I'm in need for a new set of climbing boots looking for some suggestions, I have had akus in the past and salewas just after some other recommendations thanks.

No its not Joe but has two buttons to open it and you fit the rope into it with out taking the pin completely out, as the second button stops you removing the pin.

I have been using the singing tree quickie found its works really well can be a bit tight with larger diameter ropes but is handy if you want to move your tie in point.

Wonder what they are like on really skinny stuff, if the thickness is smaller than distance between the spikes?

The initial cost seems expensive, if you get two battery's could you get away with just one battery for day to day use ? Also how long does the oil last as with normal saws the fuel runs out first so topping the oil happens instictivly?

I find attaching my lanyard to the handle of my saw far easier to manage and doesn't leave it dangling around at my feet or ripping the right leg of my chainsaw trousers to pieces as it gets caught up, also using a small krab rather than a ring makes it far more versatile when stowing the saw, e.g. when out on a limb and quickly clipping it back to my bridge or lower ds on my tree motion to handle a branch.

Gloves arrived last week very nice thanks

Afraid not mate but saved by splitting the bill three ways THANKS MATE

This is a new lanyard developed by a friend as long reach and stows nicely.

Hey everyone, been using the fly for a while now but struggling to find a hitch that runs as I would like, I know a few people on here have used fly for a while hoping for a bit of advice thanks.

The dead stem? If so yeah I i did

Here's another reduction from site we didn't go as hard as requested as the tree was in a lot better state than the other one.

Steves correct that's the remaining foliage at the back going out over the neighbours, hasn't fully leafed yet, so hopefully won't look as thin in the next few days etc, the size of some of the wounds and hollows on it where massive the parks just worried about lawsuits etc so a lot of action is taken pre-emptively

Lime tree removal from today.

This is a large Oak I reduced the other week at Alexandra palace in London, It had been pollard previously and there was signs of heavy decay and hollows near the old points because of this and the proximity to neighbouring properties, a reduction of the canopy was decided in order to take weight off of the old points in order to lower chance of limb failure and in order to ensure the tree can go on for a few more years. Also shortened a dead stub as the top half of it was pretty hollow and ready to collapse.

Its a very hard reduction but what was decided by the Arborist who conducted the tree survey and after seeing the state of decay on some of the large limbs and unions it was the best thing for the tree in order to preserve it for a longer period.
