  1. Ha, no problem getting down I was only 6ft off the gound
  2. Check out some of these pictures from today... Dryads saddle, Ganoderma, Inonotus By far the most bizaare, was an Ash tree which I'm guessing had been struck by lightening a few years ago and then not long after had it's insides set on fire by a group of kids... It's lost a good 70% of its wood, burnt to a crisp, covered in Inonotus and King Alfreds Cakes... and buds are still breaking.
  3. She has an outstanding pair of breasts!
  4. Lovely job mate I must say
  5. I was thinking along the lines of ganoderma! Thanks
  6. Absolutely! Yeah so do I, the thing is I found it in a field on private land in a clear felling site so it's not as if many people are around that area to be playing with fake fossils or even real ones. I'm rather confused myself.
  7. Look what I've just come accross! This has gotta be one of the rarest things I've ever seen? No idea what the fungus is. It wasn't attached to its host, it was lying next to a stump and has been there for quite some time I would imagine. Give me your thoughts, I don't know if this is a real fossil, but its still pretty cool! Maybe hama could give me a heads up on what fungus this is by looking at these pictures as I'm not quite sure
  8. FANTASIC... NEW CLOGS!
  9. Blimey. That would have been unbelievable. Did you get the clearup? haha
  10. This guys videos are brilliant.

  11. Just a poll to see how many of you climbers prefer the good old famous ms200t over all of the Husqvarna top handles. Husqvarna are always bringing out new top handles, but for some reason they just don't appeal to me. I'm 100% for the MS200t and know many Arborists who think the same so I just thought I'd post a poll on here to see other peoples opinions.
  12. Aahhhh :mad1: I feel for you mate, really really sorry to hear. Hope you find them and your equipment.
  13. Yeah I said that... I've never seen a tree fall apart from when it's being felled
  14. Perfectly understandable mate haha. I wasn't sure what had happened at first, it definately made me jump and go AAH, my very first thought was that my chain came off the bar and took me finger off haha To my relief, it was JUST a big thorn straight through my finger.
  15. I have a paper fan attached to my caritool at all times.
  16. We have a row of Poplars in one of the fields surrounding us which are on a humongous lean (I have no idea how they're all still standing) and I'm talking a 45 Degree angle. Just got home from a quick visit to the pub and one of them has completely fallen over. No signs of root rotting disease as far as I know and no winds tonight... but they're located in a terribly waterlogged area from our overflow and their root plate is rather unstable so no doubt that'll be it. First thing tomorrow morning, a nice load of Poplar... lovely!
  17. Thanks for that mate. It's always good to have someone back me up... you're not the only one either as I can see by the other posts. I know quite a fair amount of Arborists that can't stand wearing gloves. I understand that they're good for certain situations but for the majority of the time I don't protect my hands or my arms.
  18. Haha... at first I tried a slow removal with a bit of twisting but as you cazn imagine, it didn't do much good! So I went for the quick pull out which led to a lot of bleeding! It's all sealed over now... just fairly sore and sensitive
  19. First time I watched it I nearly fell off me chair!
  20. Thanks everyone for your replies and good luck wishes! I cannot wait. Yeah easy-lift-guy... I'm hoping my body climatises quickly so I'm ready for their summer but who knows. I know it's gonna be a killer but I like hard work haha. I remember last summer when we had the hottest day in like 10 years or something at 32 degrees here in the UK and I was on the biggest ball ache of a job ever... and it absolutely killed me for work the next day!!
