  1. if you dont ask, you dont learn! shy bairns get nowt
  2. i cant say i've never freeclimbed in a tree... but that is just ridiculous! every time he unclipped his snaphook my stomach turned respect to them
  3. nah there were no nails, she's lived there 40 years so she would know! they were just lazy
  4. been doing a bit of weeding and tidying up for one of my mams friends, an elderly lady. i immediately noticed a 2-3ft DBH, 2ft high stump in the middle of her lawn. we got talking over a coffee and she explained that the "tree surgeon" who cut down her cherry tree several years ago told her that it was "impossible" to cut the stump flush with the ground (never mind grinding the stump out!)! how lazy??? i mean, you can still see the remains of a hinge in amongst the moss and debris. And she has been waiting for the stump to rot away, as she believed it was her only option. i didnt have a saw with me but ill be going back next week to sort it, it will take all of.... oo i dunno... 5 minutes? just makes me mad that people get away with shoddy work like that!
  5. you would never catch me doing that, certainly not without being tied in! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHH are they mental
  6. waterproof boots? ive been out in my steins all day, dry as a bone!
  7. yea id be interested in that too. can you ascend SRT on just a friction hitch? (perhaps with a pulley or something)? never tried it before thats all
  8. Hamadryad is a pathogenic and saprophytic wood decay detector, found near broadleaved trees including beech,lime, maple and horse chestnut. He observes soft rot and decays in the stem base and/or roots. His fruiting bodies persist all year and their appearance is that of a coin sized asphalt spattering of domed lumpy crusts, brittle like charcoal, usually between the root buttresses. New hamadryads formed in the spring are flat and whitish grey.
  9. some say he fruits only once every three years
  10. some say he has mycelium running through his veins...
  11. sounds good! i reckon you should ask around your local tree firms, its deffo worth a try, especially if you already have the kit and whatnot. good luck with it!
  12. there he goes, pouncing on the thread as if from nowhere, administering a lethal dose of fungi knowledge... then disappearing back into the depths of his own murky world...
  13. learn how to politely deal with inquisitive/ nuisance members of the public
  14. Hama the fungi shark will no doubt sniff this one out in no time!
  15. so you want to process the logs, but not be involved in the selling/ marketing aspect? sounds good. i guess it would be suitable for tree surgeons who dont own / have access to a yard/ processing equipment. that splitter looks interesting mate!
  16. looks like "Old Man Willow" has gone bald!
