    insure it for more than its worth:thumbup:. them battery cut off switches are ok most of the time but don't allow enough current through them, not what you want in a hard to start diesel at -20c when you're late for work:thumbdown:, you could install a flick on/off switch into the trigger wire circuit but again thats easy to bypass at the starter motor end for any thief willing to crawl underneath. you could go the whole hog but don't forget to fit decent door locks or they will just walk right in..

    use a second method of attaching yourself to the tree while you advance your first anchor point, that way you have your hands free and never fall. i'm guessing by your question you haven't been on a climbing course? this would be a very good idea to keep you safe. all the best. Ed.

    or leave them attached to the tree/roots, shouldn't be that hard.. just do a standard arb 'high felling cut'.

    had a fun little job recently where even mr rainfords pencil sharpener was too big, seven flights of uneven narrow steps, a steep gravel slope and a 2ft drop had to be negotiated. we had to dismantle the chipper into five bits to get it there! once onsite and reassembled it did a cracking job. very nice customer provided breakfast and lunch with plenty drinks and even helped move branches and split/stack logs. Rob might have pics of the chipper in bits for you all to laugh about:biggrin:

    everytime i wear my 'good' haix's my feet and ankles come out with red marks and a bit sore. is it possible something has sneaked in there, likes it and enjoys a free meal most days? it doesn't happen when i wear my old boots or my trainers. is there a way of fumigating them without harming my precious boots? i've been leaving them outside incase i bring beasties into the house:blushing:
