    for a wee job, i'd just get on with it. but a crane attracts a lot of attention and you don't want to screw around with day rates like they charge.

    most of the time i use a 10m rope. type??? orange new england maybe? anyone else climb on a short line? obviously if a tree is more then 15m then i use a 50m spearmint xtc. but i find the manoeuvrability of the short line a joy & stops it dangling on a road or line (power/railway) or getting chipped by the numpties on the ground. when using the short line i use a prusik because its reversible and saves pulling the line through on reanchoring. 95% of the time i use my 5m flip line on my d's. have a soft strop but it only comes out for low% reductions where there's a lot of swift silky work. On most trees using a long rope i use a blakes unless there's a lot of passage in the tree when i move onto the hitch climber and knut. up a sequioa last week to dead wood it. was using the short line as a strop and flipping it higher on each side.

    from experience these haven't let me down. very good in the snow. excellent on the road, no noise and great milage. only mild weakness is on very steep unconsolidated mud/stone. but every tyre is a trade off. i go off road fairly often. at least 3 times a wek. but i'm still on road the majority of the time. and these handle fantastically on the road for an off road tyre

    just ask around locally. theres loads of land about. look around. just find a bit out the way and find out who's it. say you want to store some logs there. they might just need a tree trimming in exchange. that's how i got started. add in the local news agent or post office or ask people walkig dogs.

    unlucky for the trees and owner, hopefully the trees should be alright. they recover to a similar degree to sycamores.

    Any reflections on using it in the round? how's the barn now? I've heard that it's not used for construction in the uk. is that in so far as, it's not sawn into say 2by4's because it doesn't come upto strength or the whole trees are just crap?

    hi there,

     

    I like to dabble in words from time to time and would be delighted to trial your trousers for you. I'm a contract climber with a small outfit of my own. Currently use stihl and sips depending on the job.

     

    Contact 07811385870 or [email protected] / Send trousers to The Hermitage, Rydal, Cumbria, LA229LR

     

    PS dead wooding a sequoia in a fortnight if you want a dramatic photo of your trousers in use.

     

    Kind Regards,

     

    Ben
