  2. BTS ART Ltd The Lion Barn Maitland Road Needham Market Suffolk IP6 8NZ Phone: 01449 721983 this is the website - Arboreal Supplies, Tree Surgery Tools and Arboricultural Equipment at TheArbShop.com it's just 15 minutes down the a14 from bury
  3. i'd be happy with a nice hug
  4. I looked it up a while ago and found out that almost a month travelling light with 3 others in a big RV would be around +/-£1,750 each. (travel from LA/San Fran upto the Redwoods). I can't let apathy take over - i will go in the next few years!
  5. yes it may well be - sorry, i'm not to good on my ident yet:blushing:
  6. This Contorted Willow (?) was next to were we worked today. Amazing stuff Crap phone camera pics, sorry....
  7. i think the small things amount to alot with this work. workmates you can have a laugh with, customers that are really pleased with the work, views from the tree - just some of the many things. this is me talking after just over a year in the industry, so check back in 20 years to see what makes me tick.
  8. is that ladder up inside the tree?
  9. awesome! good to hear someone is still buzzing from work after all these years!
  10. good stuff steve. i wish all jobs were like that (still bitter after todays rain, laylandii and dog mess) and monkeyd - i believe they are the 100 pairs for £50 gloves from here ... Work Gloves and Safety Clothing - 505uk (unless you were joking that is...)
  11. Sun, shades and a Eucalyptus tree. No, not Aus. It was Suffolk last Sunday
  12. yes you a right, i had a bit of a blonde moment
  13. will try to get tot this. it was the first and only arb show ive been to with the college last year and was good fun. maybe a college reunion is on the cards.
  14. nice one, i'll give that a try - i'm sure we have loads of spare ratchets lying about.
  15. thought as much. whoopie it is then! thanks guys. edit: found some yale whoopie's on ebay for half the price of new if anyone needs one.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380198246931&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
  16. what in your experience is the quickest method to setup and safest?
  17. ledders- that's a cool idea, it should work really well with the hitchclimber/vt too.
  18. i bought these from ebay last week and have no complaints - obviously you have to grip a bit harder in the wet, but in the dry they have massive amounts of grip £9.75 free post for pack of 12 http://shop.ebay.co.uk/ran1210/m.html?_nkw=latex+gloves&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3911.m270.l1313&_odkw=&_osacat=0
  19. john - i wouldn't use a snap hook on a life line
  20. weedee- is that a rhetorical question, or asking if i actually know? if the latter then yes. i bought a couple at that price brand new and i remember someone telling me that they found a place that sells 5 for £10.
  21. i want to buy 10, so would rather find the cheaper ones tbh, if it means saving £20.
  22. not 100% sure mate
  23. looking for the same or similar to the one in the pic. i bought it for a couple of quid and now can't find any for less than £4.50. thanks
  24. bts in needham market
  25. fair enough then. completely shut down in four minutes no more asterisks for me then.
