Hi I'm looking for a pair of offset wrap around pads that have the metal plate at front of shin but can't find any. The last pair I bought was made by Buckingham I think. Any suppliers names welcome.

It's over £400 on amazon,lol

I was taught this technique while working for Mike Ellis(Cheshire Woodlands) & also the man behind the QTRA he was based in Poynton in Cheshire & did a lot of work for OCA, I'm going back to 95.

Ford ranger double cab 2.5tdci with lift kit. Great truck better ground clearance than company vehicles.lol.

I have one at work & the clutch springs keep snapping, it's been back to dealers half dozen times, apart from that & grumpy warm starts its a great saw but no where near a 254xpg.

It's in our contract with a utility company that we have to wear type C at all times & long sleeved tops. It's a joke.

There was a firm in Rosscommon area looking for people on arbjobs.

Treemon is four counties name on here,

I know of a company who regularly looks for climbers in Jersey,Jonothan LeMaistre he pays well & looks after his staff. Ive worked for him & another company in Jersey Channel Islands for 3 years & loved it. Worked 5.5 days a week & partied all weekend.

Contact west coast or have a look on arb jobs, I'm sure I've seen companies in your area recruiting, I used to live in Telford so worked on behalf of Scottish power(man web) & central networks.

Even with a friction hitch & pulley I would always recommend having a cut away to clear the flip line totally. That's my opinion.

I've just beaten cancer & had 6 months off work through it, lost nearly 4 stone & been back since oct & on full duties since jan. I've always been in pain one way or another so I know what pain is like. Hope you feel better soon.

Have you approached Global Trees in Offord Darcy????

Yeah I have, I'm from that part of the country did all my forestry training in Hamsterly Forest.

Youve just done aload of work on the engine havnt you?,

I think you will find that if you use any rope for the bridge instead of the original part the Harness will no longer be covered by the CE or EN regs so i understand.

I have had the pleasure of working for Jono,He pays good money & the flats are cosy. If your single you will have a ball as Jersey has a great nightlife even though the clubs close at 2am.

Have alook on the arb info exchange site,They have a list of loler people on there.

People with loads of experience & quals have trouble finding work at mo,but good luck. Have a look on arbjobs.

Congrats on passing,Sounds like you assessor was getting verified. I passed CS33 when it was large trees when it first came out years ago.

BTS asked for an estimate,If he wanted to be excact he would have to measure all the trees in the wood,lol. The other way to do it is break the woodland down into small plots & measure lets say 20 trees so you can work out the average size in the plot & then you can calculate the overall volume.I beleive this is the way the FC do it.

Estimation of Tree Volume from Diameter Tree diameter Estimated tree volume at breast height (m3,overbark) (cm) Conifers Broadleaves 5 - 0.01 / 0.01 10 - 0.04 / 0.04 15 - 0.1 / 0.1 20 - 0.25 / 0.25 25 - 0.45 / 0.4 30 - 0.7 / 0.6 35 - 1 / 0.9 40 - 1.5 / 1.2 So work out the average size of the tree at breast height & working on the stocking of 2500 trees per Hectare will give you the estimated volume over bark.

Good money for Subbies by all accounts,wages varry between £9-£12 an hour so i hear.

My thoughts are with his family & friends it not nice losing anyone as we all know,RIP The Utility industry at present is cutting the expenditure & in my experience they are expecting the same amount of work in less time which at times means we have to cut corners so accidents are certain to happen. Thats my opinion.
