A cambium saver, possibly?
-
But it would still burn nicely .... eh? Seriously, nice work. Welcome to the asylum.

Do you have any before/after images of the one of the whole trees?
-
Got this (stupid) survey emailed to me today
WeeDee replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Firewood forum
What did you not like about it? -
Hi Paul, do you get the chance to climb with others? Close contact with like-minded individuals might provide the chance of some feedback on your technique, and support in your skill development.

Two weeks ago I sat and watched two men in a bucket hanging from a crane! One of them (the expert) had a chainsaw and his apprentice held on to the tree. So as the expert levered the saw into the tree (and the bucket swung away from the tree) the apprentice would lean out and reach over the saw to hold onto the tree and stop the bucket from swinging too far! It's a good job he wasn't working on his own - that would have been dangerous!

I use Ocean Polyester 10mm. Eye to eye measurement of 85cm. With my weight (66kg) 3 wraps and 3 braids on Imori or XTC. I hope this helps, Mark (or at least makes sense!)

The Guinness ad. Surfing, air guitar, and it lasted about 5 minutes! Classic.
-
I dropped a spindly branch on a line and it just hung there - almost touching the ground but at least not nipping the line. Then the groundie comes along, gives it a good pull and the whole damn thing goes twang!

I thought mycophageous described an organism that 'ate' fungi. I may be stuck with a schoolboy's definition. Does it also have a more encompassing meaning?
-
That's a cracking piece of work, Tommer. That's the way it should be done!
-
Another absolute marvel - no matter when an individual discovers it. Thanks for posting.
-
The Gecko always seems too 'elastic'.
-
The condition of your gear will depend on how often it's used and in what conditions it's kept. You would be the best person to answer those questions, Andy.

Yes, can all the larger people please put down their saws and step away from the tree. I was wondering if the two baskets on either side were part of the harness - they would be handy if you were selling fresh veg. when in the tree.
-
You can hang by these points (Petzl call them 'remote attachment points') but they are not fall arrest points. ie. EN358 and not EN363. Your point that the bridge attaches to them is a good one.
-
That 'feature' has been mentioned on other posts - although the contributors didn't always state that it was necessarily a 'downside'!
-
Any jeweller's feather-edge diamond file will work on the Sugoi. Ebay it.
-
A nice bit of wood-working, Matty. What size is it? Did you consider taking the bark off the legs?
-
And you could even get a new kit bag while you're at it!
-
You're quite right, Sean - but I don't think in abbreviated punctuation.
-
When thinking about 'bats in trees', I couldn't get away from the thought of willow. (Think about it, got it yet?)
-
I think I got mine from Treeworker, (over to the right of this page) but I think that was just the colour they had. Might it be that the factory just runs them off in batches of a particular colour?
-
It might just be a case of 'getting out the different insulating tapes'.
