    My dad was 5ft 8 and 15 stone but was muscle not fat he was probably the best climber I've ever seen don't think it matters what weight you are unless it's fat or your climbing out on the twigs

    Aye im with you on that one Stephen been there mate when your reducing a tree within the rules not using spikes but it's dangerous not using them at times I care for trees but but I care for myself more if it was too dodgy I'd get myself so far up then use my spikes

    I feel stupid now I done some work on michael flattelys place in ireland and a couple of the toons players but reckon only us lot up here reckon they're famous
  12. Lorry thompson
    I'd use them on a pollard if i needed them but I'm the same as Steve what differnce does it make compared to large cuts. I love using them but I stick to the rules wouldn't want to lose work through it

    That's why I get fired up when climbers think they are superior to groundsmen I've worked with some really useless people when you have good lads on the ground it's the best job in the world.......... I've worked for 50 quid a day haha
  14. Lorry thompson
    Haha I just like a big rope aim the branch the way I want it and have a good man on the ground who can lower properly so it doesn't snatch jobs a good un
  15. Lorry thompson
    All this crack just confuses me I may come across as a cowboy or a bit thick but I've never snapped a lowering rope or worried about angles and the likes to be honest I've probably used a porta wrap about ten times. I use a crotch and wrap around the tree not that I'm disrespecting the use of certain equipment it's just when I add more fancy gear or listen to technical jargan I spook myself and when I'm like that I think the job is more dangerous I'm happy with a big rope and us ethe tree on itself. I'm looking to buy a new rope at the minute and Reading this thread I don't know what to buy incase I'm running it through the wrong kit and it will fall apart
