  14. that old dude jesus christ nearly mowed me down then sat there revving up his car trying get round the barriers if only i had that on film
  15. oak in blofield? lol nah i didnt in end never got a pm but really this camcorder is ideal rather than go pro for me i think
  16. desided to get a camcorder arrived yesterday this is a tester vid to see quality seems quite good looking forward to getting a tree to make a video from both hemlet cam and camcorder together this conifer was easy, spiked up both the stems at the back and stripped them out as i went up, then chogged them down as i came down. had some breakfast, stuck a pulley in top of the left hand front stem from the ground, pulled my rope through from the stem on the right installing a pull rope in its place. felled the right hand stem swung it into the garden, then case of untieing the pulley installed from the floor pulling it down and sending the line back up without pulley to use as a pull rope for the left hand stem. down by 12, emptyed truck came back for rest of chipping and home by 3.30 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdjfwdm3_DA]YouTube - conifer dismantle[/ame]
  17. i have come across that site before not part of it though, has very helpful step by step guides how to do certain things
  18. 90% of the time i will use it. takes 5seconds to stick it over nearest branch. conifers are the worst for just climbing to the top stick rope in top come down and strip them out without any other attachment i find.

  20. when i was just out of college, big oak dismantle with the highest point being a limb went out sideways all rest of the top had blown out, i couldnt let my self spike up that limb to get the high point. wish i had though as you dont get big oak dismantles like that everyday mind you i was that unexperienced i dont think it would have been safe me rigging top bits out, anyways i managed to rig out all branches up to a certain point and by time i done that guy whos job it was got back and we swaped.
  21. just looked it up past 2 weeks have been pretty much exactly the same if these maps are right about 2-3 degrees was temperature
  22. no young ladys just do it every year to kick off the new year never in there long since survival time is minutes in that kinda water temperature
  23. last year was the worst so far we had icy roads and snow on the beech when i did it
