  4. we wanted get the landy in there and chip it while we go but guy who owns it said he will burn it all so we are just cutting it up small and stacking it nd stacking timber should keep there wood burners going for a while to come

  12. sounds nasty that, not alot is my answer i normally just leave them alone or if they are bad i stick some cream on it for bites and stings.
  13. depends on experience and kit to be honest theres no one answer to that question.
  14. dont think id like to try it and find out but be interesting to no if they would pay out

  19. hi all job from today willow to dismantle. the video is rubbish compared what it should have been but battarys kept running out so this is all i could manage to put together. almost didnt post it but thought might aswell, my camara is mounted to high aswell to see most of the action other than that if your bored and want to watch a video here ya go lol easy job straight forward rigging just needed abit of thought rigging the bits over the phone wire, and roof and there was another phone wire on roof. had it all down by 10.30am logged up they kept logs chipped up lady wanted chip down road tipped that back to yard at 2.30pm easy day.

  20. you can buy extension cable for it. i have wondered what reg uses he seems to have it sussed it out pretty nicely.
  21. that would be alright but the only problem with that would be checking its still running im paranoid of that after loseing all good footage today. this is what i have ordered im hoping this is the answer. Where the red dot is is a hole in the bag to hang it etc. Any of you guys use this?
  22. hi guys im really getting into makeing tree videos really enjoy makeing them just wondered how people mount there camaras on there helmet? Also where they store there recorder while climbing? me my self i have a Vio POV 1.5 and i can never get the mounting right at all. I find my pockets on my stihl trousers are to far down to put the recorder and i havent got enough cord left for good movement. just bought a POV water tight see through bag aswell so im hopeing i can just hang it off my harness is this the way to go? im always loseing out on good footage cause battarys run out, im thinking if i have it hanging off my harness i can easily just check its still running. cheers in advance guys
  23. not strictly true the guy who used to do my loler inspections engraved on the side of the biners. he done loads of testing for petzl showed me the whole book of results there is no difference in performance of the biners once they have been engraved.
  24. i would use something like this or similar Silver Bull Throwline Bag
  25. should have fined them more than £7,500 if you ask me
