  1. Camping with a HUGE cooked meal and tree work sounds perfect to me! Shame I'm nowhere near Wales haha. Hope you find what you're looking for
  2. Australia has lots of TREE work at the minute, I'm not sure what they're like in the landscaping industry. It all depends on your qualifications anyway. I'm going out on 11th of August to work for a company in Adelaide for a year. Hopefully if I really enjoy it and get on there I'll be looking for sponsorship off him so I can stay perm 12 month working holiday visas there are easy to get hold of
  3. If I'm right, this will be the first one I've come across... ??
  4. This new disease is really quite worrying. I hope nothing as major as Dutch Elm Disease comes out of it. I'd hate to see millions of Oak be wiped out. ... Nature is nature, you just have to let it take it's own course!
  5. I've only been doing it a few years and I've already got white finger in my left ring finger which started about a year and a half in... I'm not 100% sure if it's from tree work but it would probably make sense. Also covered in thick skinned blisters and are as rough as sand paper... nasty, time to start moisturising before i loose my hands in 10 years time ha
  6. Oh absolutely. I can't agree with you more
  7. Bet that gave the fish a fright haha
  8. Enjoy... It's not me, It's a friend... a student. Kickback whilst logging up
  9. Haha. I'm not a violent person, but people like 'James' deserve a good smack to the face to get some sense knocked into them FOOL
  10. People like this guy drive me insain! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obT0q57R1YE]YouTube - James the narcoleptic tree surgeon[/ame]
  11. Sorry, sorry... mistake of the brain there, I wasn't meant to use the word susceptible mate, I meant the opposite... resistant I sometimes make mistakes like that, I blame dislexia
  12. You'd have to be very unlucky for it to kill off the woodland It is undoubtedly a serious disease and can be quite devastating in some situations especially if trees are stressed, for example by drought. Though some tree species are particularly susceptible to the disease such as Beech and Oak. You can't do much to save the woodland from Honey Fungus, so just hope for the best I'm pretty sure it'll be fine going on the average of the severity and spread of the laces in most woodlands
  13. Thanks & yeah I've heard that too, apparently they use to be put on soldiers helmets during World War 1 when it was dark to show friendlies of their position or something... I don't really see how that would be very efficient but whatever ha
  14. I've never liked the look of their top handle saws, they just don't look right ha ha. Even though I've never tried one out up a tree, I don't think I'll change from the famous 200T
  15. This poor Willow was literally laced from top to bottom underneath the bark, in the 'boot laces' of Honey Fungus. I thought I'd take a few pictures to share as I think it's quite a good example.
  16. An old Kong Frog straight on the harness does the trick for me!
  17. haha yeah man!! Come on guys, donate! its all for charity!! 100% of what you donate!!
  18. Brilliant!! Do it this year, theres still some slots! They're allowed but the vehicle rules say no bigger than 1.2 litre engine... UNLESS you pay £100 for every 0.1 litre you go over 1.2 so for a Defender you'll have to pay a lovely lump of money haha Ahh shame about the sponsorship! I think it's a good idea! We have a few companies up for sponsoring us. What about a small donation to one of the charities? It helps us a lot! Peace
  19. Oh brilliant! Yeah definately, cannot wait!! Either the Nissan Micra or Vauxhall Corsa... 1.0 litre of course http://justgiving.com/treemusketeers
  20. little buggers!
