  1. <p>Yo I lived just over the fields from Sheperds, didnt know it had closed, ****! I knew Derek and his lads well. So whats your surname? Who was in your year? You might have been a year above me!</p>

  2. Sometimes I use an elastic band as a sling. Oh, and sticky back plastic to pull trees over
  3. This is where SRT comes in handy lads.
  4. <p>Alright Bob? I grew up in Upper Hill, then moved to Presteigne over the hill from Tref y. How old are you?</p>

  5. Yeh I grwe up outside of Leominster in the sticks, then moved to Presteigne for 10 years, then London, Bath, Presteigne, France, Norwich, Hereford, Manchester, NYC. LOL
  6. Eggs I wouldn't actually class myself as a Manc, I grew up in The Mid Wales borders/Herefordshire. Beautiful part of the planet.
  7. Sticky back plastic.
  8. Not bad for your first day on the job mate. When are you coming over here to climb some of our 300 foot oaks then?
  9. Haha it does look like your penis. (Erm, how would I know what it looked like?)
  10. [ame] [/ame]
  11. Pfft X. ABR Rigging thimbles from Treestuff baby!
  12. (Dont forget the bottom backup sling)
  13. Without seeing pictures, its hard to give advise. But if the stem is vertical, and you can remove a fence panel or two, the falling cut is alot easier to make than on a horizontal cut.
  14. I haven't got my cs 41. I better stop climbing eh.
  15. Plenty of other people with advice and tips on here. As an inexperienced climber, treat it as a challenge, get a nice high anchor point, get out to the end of it, imagine obstacles underneath to avoid, practice different cuts and techniques, and don't F up the final cut!
  16. Well done Jon, still not hit here yet, only 15 today and cloudy.
  17. Completely pointless but you got paid so great!
  18. Another large tree in a confined space. Wires, two houses, and a sprinkler system to watch, 2 loads of chip, 3 loads of wood, 2 days. Thanks to SRT!
  19. NOWT wrong with a portawarap. Just finished a large white oak with one today, no worries what so ever. Bye
  20. Cool. I want a drone and a drone driver to go with it
  21. How can the rope pop off a POW?? Never happened to us. We have a portawrap for most stuff and a RC2000 for larger wood.
  22. You dont wanna do it like that, you wanna do the bigger one from the smaller one. Make it easier on yourself.
  23. Cool thanks mate I appreciate what you're saying about the methods in hand. It sure would be a handy asset for our truck. The amount of work I get close over houses/targets/wires is unreal. We always get by but would be nice to use MA. We have a MASDAAM but to set that up on a tree for a rigging situation and have the guys use it just isn't feasible. The RCW however, I think even they could grasp! lol.
