i think i may have posted this somewhere before, but i can't find it.... Would this work? basically, the rescuer ascends SRT/ footlock style on the injured persons rope. If this is viable, it would be way quicker than setting a new line. edit: this is of course taking into account the anchor branch strength and assuming rope has not been damaged during accident

my collegue and i regularly turn up to quote jobs in his little yellow fiat (same as the one the guy in the inbetweeners has). We win most of our quotes! must be the sympathy vote haha

i wouldn't use my ND, but when i (hopefully) have a degree under my belt i would use that, but only for signing off relevant letters or on business cards etc, i wouldnt just stick it on any old form or put it on Christmas cards or anything

nice 1 for coming clean, hopefully we can learn from this, i myself clipped the toe of my boot with the saw a couple weeks ago, certainly puts you back in your place!

in a hand operated winch the handle is designed to break when it reaches its limit. perhaps there is a similar mechanism in a vehicle operated winch?

put your hole away! consider this: A gazelle is running from a lion. the gazelle does not want to be eaten- in fact, none of its species have ever wanted to be eaten. its species have developed the capacity to run very fast to avoid being eaten. survival of the fittest. the gazelles that do get eaten, are the slower, older, weaker, or stupider gazelles. removing these gazelles from the gene pool does have benefits for the species as a whole- but these benefits are consequences of predation, not the purpose of predation. the lion does not prefer his gazelles "fast". it is unfortunate for the lion that the gazelles are fast. thus the lion must become faster/ sneakier and on and on.................. -

i agree with a lot of what you are saying- dont get me wrong. there is possibly an "ultimate state" , a climax within each tree/fungi relationship. but i see the road there as a biological arms race, not a hand-shaking and sharing situation. -

much as i would like to believe that all the plants and animals work together in perfect harmony... The purpose (in the Darwinian/ evolutionary sense) of a birch tree is to create more birch trees. Not to pave the way for other species to become established. -
fair point, although you could argue that displaying your address in company listings makes you look less like the type of nasty git who goes round pinching things! if you know what i mean:001_smile:

looks like a messy, but fun, job. probably made all the more interesting by having to sned the thing whilst floating on the river in a metal bathtub! was the vessel anchored to the tree?
