Just have a go, all you need is your spikes, hat, gloves, harness. People will lend you a racing strop. The guy you need to speak to for info is terry bennett, check some of the pole climbing posts and he will be on there.

Didn't get much time between climbs, didn't even get a real chance to get to the arbtalk stand. So all i got was some new ear defenders and a heap of free t-shirts.

Ok, as an arb type i feel that although i've done the tech cert i still lack a good understanding of forestry. So i think i might do a long distance forestry course to give me better knowledge and understanding of it.

What were the final numbers terry?

I've just looked a 2 poplar trees which are in decline and the stump/buttress area is covered with it. Anyone came across this before? 1st time for me, i know its associated with decaying stumps/ rotting wood. Never seen it on anything live so i am wondering if this is a indicator of mass stem decay? I will post some pics once the trees are down as i forgot to at the time.

I found using those cotton buds on a stick really good for clearing out the fine layer of dust.

Yep that job, holding a large saw for a long period of time will make arms sore/ wrists.
