i worked wiv a chap who had the op, i think he was only off for 6 weeks at the most. this was a few years ago tho, he shook worse than rigging the top off a pine!!! he seemed ok once back to work, tho he only did grounding. get a heated handle will help reduce any shakes.

get yerself a net rope bag (weaver do one) and some specialist cleaner such as the Beal version. less harmful than ordinary detergent. give landmark a ring on 01780 482231, or email; [email protected] they will help you, their good peeps.

girth hitch the strop to the saw, use an isc gator snap on the mid ring, and an isc mighty mouse on the strop/harness atatchment.

bit of a long shot, but il ask anyway. im after a urea applicator brush and bottle if you do them, ie a 5l bottle and the cap has holes and a brush atached for manual aplicating. used for chainsaw felling as the harvesters have a system built into the head.it would be luvley if you could have a look, thanks.

hiya, on my 39 i only cut a branch off in log sized bits, i neva did an upright bit. wouldnt that come under 41? as the obvious attatchment points would be hard to get? i did actualy do mine about nine years ago!!

WE HAVE DATES. The poleclimbing dates that have been posted contain links, if you follow the links you will find other events at the same competition. there are logging and carving comps at all of these. ie..felling, axe racing, carving, due to the itinerary, it may only be possible to do all or one event, you will have to contact the organiser.
-
Hiya Lil'pole!! have u thought about doing other comps? theres a few about. if you need to ask any daft questions theres loads of peeps here to waffle on about it!! are you up for a reccy climb later in the year? look on my thread of "comp standard trees", il post more info later.

"Art & Science of Practical Rigging Book" A good read?
john dawson replied to Tree Man Tom's topic in Climbers talk
a good book. also try the new "to fell a tree" by jeff jepson, (the same bloke who wrote the tree climbers companion). however be aware of the "americanisms", such as weight refs, and ansi regs. also try the arb assoc's books. they basicaly say the same as the above, but with english refs, they are currently revising the guide to good climbing practice, and are allegedly working on a rigging guide. -
hiya peeps!, thought id put this up here instead of the other forum. APF comp details will be posted on their website mid febuary. APF 2010, the UK?s largest forestry and arboricultural exhibition is returning to the same location as its hugely successful 2008 event.

generaly i use a yale blaze and a 3m rope strop w/a vt knot n pulley, on a takedown il use a 3m flipline w/a isc micrograb. the flipline is just a standard eye at each end, so i just stick a 3way krab on it.
