my nptc card is out in the truck n its dark/cold etc, not sure which cs numbers i've got, but got my rigging and pruning ones.. the rigging course was fun, the instructor took a whole day to show us ziplines and how to set up /use them..

was told rough location of an oak near me, they guessed it is about 400yrs old, im off to find it as soon as i get time, can't wait.. if its good i'll pop pics up, Ed

so you shot them, chainsawd their hands off and buried them (not on you're land though) harsh but fair:thumbup1:

euc dismantling crane!!!!

haha, at the end it says 'the 3rd crane collapse in as many months!!!'

saw this on telly and recorded it with my camera, please turn the sound up on your speakers, them people are soo lucky.[[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBNC7YHPJ28]]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/ame]

brilliant, couldn't understand a word you were saying but cracking vid n pics feller.

they seem to take ages to get shipped over here, can't wait to get new one, makes great throneroom reading..

ooo can i have another go please? like scots pine too, one of the not so spitty pines and really good for lighting the fire.

imagine how scuppered you'd be with japanese motors and tried to treat them the same..

but its so comfy on the sofa, lets not get in the way of improving the infastructure, we could do with some road widening round here too, did you say ancient woodland? i'll be round with a jar of newts..

sit in? sounds confrontational, just slap a toy rubber bat up each tree with an ultrasound device nearby, then post an anonymous letter notifying them its a bat roost?

thought you were talking about the weather.. its poured down here all day nonstop, glad yr busy though

wheel of death? how do i find it?

sounds good, gave up bookreading years ago but im getting bored with the junk on telly, something like that might get me reading again..

sycamore.. theres lots of it, i can be picky and only take the straight bits to stack in woodstores at home, splits for fun and seasons pretty quick, fill a wheelbarrow and push it right into the kitchen:thumbup1:

found it on youtube ages ago, couldn't believe it when he said 'you can climb each tree and find the best line of sight in record time', wonder how many trees near him have spikemarks in?

Hi guys, still can't work out how to upload a vid from youtube to arbtalk, if somebody would please take the time to really spell it out for me? im not mega computer literate so make it really basic, thanks Ed.

even with bolle safety shades under visor i got a stray bit in my eye while ringing down a large pyrus, couldn't open my eye except with fingers to use eyewash, went to a+e turns out to be a splinter inside upper eyelid, keep my eyes shut all the time now:thumbup:
