Bump!! I am now in London and available to work so don't hesitate to call! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Ah awesome that's brilliant! It's not about being strong enough it's about staying lightweight and cutting down on fatigue, it's not just for the day it's the week, months, years! Think about reductions when where you don't need tonnes of power for cutting through large diameter wood. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What's it like weight wise? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I heard the lasagne won't make you ill but you might get the trots!! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeah it's easy just pull the line and tighten the prussik until you can't get it any tighter by hand! That way as well you can't over tighten it!! Yeah it's brilliant I'm really enjoying it! And that is my main goal for this job is to gain experience and then when it comes to taking on a bigger contract I know what I'm doing! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The rope is tied off at one end and then through a pulley or jean on the top tree and then a pulleys and prussik at the base of the tree tension it and tight the prussik. Also it means it's easy to lower the line down if necessary! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeah it's great just slow progress due to manual handling everything as we only have saws, a 4x4 and trailer. Yeah I was lucky really as its a reasonably small plot it wasn't feasible to pay for the standing timber but it also means I can take my time doing the job! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Ok awesome mate thanks just thought I'd ask be a shame to waste it:) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

A bit more progress today burning up of brash hauling last few logs from this section. While I have been felling in the next section (didn't get any pictures of that) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
