There's a few bits scattered around other places as well but I can't recall the locations of the other Internet based ones. They should give you more than the gist of things though.

It's well documented in various publications. For some light reading try; http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr668.htm And there are a lot of good downloads available at http://www.vtio.org.au which cover forces and loading

A few people did mate, they're just not that common. I think Matt Warden used it for a while. -

Unfortunately not, can't change that I'm afraid. You can do something with phones that will make it viewable, but I'm not too sure what that is

Good effort mate, gonna be a hard one!

No, not an Aussie soap compilation.... The next door neighbour to where I was working last week put this together; [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld9mdlpVXOA]Tree no more - YouTube[/ame] The clouds get a touch dramatic!

Just finished for the third time "Ask the fellows who cut the hay." George Ewart Evans. Fantastic oral histories of rural life in the late 19th century.

Hey Tom, hope you're well. As you know, I have both a standard Sequoia and the Sequoia SRT with the top. In terms of DdRT climbing, there's nothing between them, function wise. As has been said, the waist attachment is different, my personal preference being the double pull SRT one, as I found that the F.A.S.T on the standard had a bit of memory that it always pulls back to the same point. If I was buying again, I'd go for the SRT version. As you may have seen, I usually now wear the top when climbing with anything bigger than a 200t, as I find it so much more comfortable having the saw weight in your shoulders rather than trying to pull your harness down (infuriating on a standard with a memory in the waist band that is too loose!). Soooo, to sum up, get the SRT version, enabling you to have the option of adding the top in future if you need it. Ps. Top, not top croll, the integrated croll is pointless with the advent of SRTWP IMO.

Bugger, just realised this is the wrong stunt fell thread. Sorry Tom!

No, it wouldn't have done much other than transmit any movement into the post. Put three others through the same way after this one

Is he self employed? As has been said, wear and tear - boss. Negligence/abuse- your mate

As an aside, it's amazing how many "pros" are saying trees heal. They seal, they don't heal!

Can't fault mine. The oil system requires more cleaning than most saws, which Imo is mainly because of the teeny tiny gauge chain, but that's not the end of the world to me.

Series 3 109" truck cab. But I took the cab off, laid a few doors across the tub and hey presto.... it's a tray back! Bent the chassis somewhat doing this, what's left of it anyway. But I think it's road days are well behind her!

My old workhorse can still pull:D

That's a biggun James. No chance of leaving the natural fracture?

Unfortunately, due to the double negative in the op, this thread shouldn't exist. He without sin etc

It's based on your shin length. There's a size guide online somewhere, I'll see if I can find it
