    Awesome share mate! Thanks for that one. Were you replacing old props or installing new ones? Did you follow any kind of formula towards positioning? The propped chestnut we looked at a few weeks ago had some failures, the most interesting of which, i thought, was one about 1ft after the prop.

    Snowing again here and getting heavier, already got 6 inches on the floor mostly left since Wednesday's downfall. Drifting a little where it hasn't been touched, starting to be deeper than my boots. All fun though:thumbup:

    I hope so. Most of the new stuff here was overnight, not much of today's has settled, though it's been fairly constant throughout the day.

    No, Goodrich AT's. My dad has AT2's on his navara, seem fairly tight for a truck that is so back end happy Cheers:001_smile:

    Beautiful! Been out most of the day helping friends and family get about/go shopping. Pushed a BMW out of a car park earlier too
  6. Dan Curtis
    That looks like one I knew of that was quoted for a few years ago round your way and never got done in the end. What's the reason for removal?

    5/6 inches here and been snowing lightly all day. Didn't go to work as it was long distance today so been running errands, doing shopping for others and running people around. I love it, bring on more snow! Now going out on the greenlane to play:001_tt2:

    Should be all sorted for the time being, thanks for all the replies
  9. Dan Curtis
    Boo! It's only a few days a year, I love it! Bring on more snow:D
  10. Dan Curtis
    You said that yesterday and we didn't get any:001_tt2:

    And this from someone in the know

    More likely me just being picky, sorry:blushing: Few more searches on true blacks only really come up with saying that they're characterised by leans and/or curved stems. Nothing particularly conclusive so far.
  13. Dan Curtis
    When?
  14. Dan Curtis
    Quick stab on google got this; The Woodland Trust | Tree guide | Wild black poplar Be great if you could it looks like a grand day out:thumbup1: Looks more like 14 circumference to me, making it about 4 1/2 ft dbh? Might just be me though:lol: EDIT: Adam's iphone clinometer proved fairly accurate when compared with the tape, so if you've got the same it shouldn't be far out
  15. Dan Curtis
    Looks a beauty, you sure it's 14ft dbh though? There's only one way to find out it's height...any chance of a climb?
  16. Dan Curtis
    A couple of lads did though... I'll ask Ian and see what we can do, watch this space. Can get you on the uni if you fancy that too mate
  17. Dan Curtis
    They're not really comparable though, a hand ascender has limited use, whereas the wrench is on all the time. Looking at it that way the wrench is far more valuable imo:)

    That's Montana Dave's setup, - DMC on here. I think he's on the hitch hiker now

    You're paying for the design, testing, concept, several prototypes that were made before the release. Then there's a but of profit for isc, presumably a bit of profit for Kevin. Then there's the VAT. All in all it's not expensive when you consider what it does and what it took to get it to the stage it's at:)

    You'll love it mate Now you have to re read this whole thread before use, manufacturers recommendation:lol:
  21. Dan Curtis
    The oak certainly looks the part! As I said to you Adam, judging by the 120ft lime, yours has to be 100ft+ Now to organise that cedar again with Ian. I'm sure our measurement last time must be wrong
  22. Dan Curtis
    Just had a look at a couple I've got. One has big eyes, the other has small:confused: both from the same supplier Probably pot luck as to which you get but yeah you should get a crab through either, dmm shadow gets through the little one with ease. How were you planning on stiffening it?
  23. Dan Curtis
    Could've been a stunt dive. It's better on your risk assessment, no saws needed:thumbup:
  24. Dan Curtis
    I use a sequoia, strop on the right, saw in the middle or left, depending on whether it's clipped long or short, redirect sling and biner on the mid left. I've just got the petzl top to go with it. A; because I use a chest loop all the time B; to see if it helps keep the harness on when carrying a bigger saw. I wear mine low and loose and have little waist to hip variation, not a good combo for keeping it up!
