  1. yeah i entered the poleclimbing and competed on the friday funnily enough, i came third my best time was 17.25 am really happy cant wait to do more next year

     

    Good climbing mate, managed 6th but kicked your ass overall 16.40 lol.:thumbup1:

  2. New harness Treeflex, used her today on a large crain asisted take down. Love it, very very comfortable and no nipping lol.

    New stein helmet with msa fittings. White was a good idea at the time. Dam nice helmet to wear, didnt notice to much heat build up.

    A couple of chainsaw bungie straps and my husky goody bag. Dam good three days glad i left my saving account card at home.

  3. Went to the my first APF and entered the pole climbing with no experiance except a run up the one in the yard. Managed a 20.00s first run 16.40s on my second Heat and a bad startb(2slips) on the finale with 19.30s on Fri and now am hooked. Role on next comp. That was an awsome event and the climbing lads are sound cheers for a good time.

  4. Advise the customer on what he doesnt know or understand, then end up doing what he asked for in the first place. Why, because the customer is always right LOL bollocks. but hey if you dont some one else will. and rent has to be paid food needs to be bought and diesel isnt cheap. Moral's, are we really that sensitive about a customers tree. Grow a set do the job and feed the family.

  5. Ive been told before 3 points of contact when cutting and 2 for climbing H&S Reg's. It gets alittle messy to be honest so that was binned. Your own style suits you. it took me a while before i picked up my own way to do things that worked best for me. you will discover your own way to in time.

  6. Free climb bady YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

    2x40m rope on french prussic with micro pully system for the large stuff, then a 30m yale using the same system either end for smaller usually line work. with my wee dangly sidstrap rapping itself around my bloody feet. Dam that side strap but i love it.

  7. When i was a mechanic the flux capaciter tester was always an easy one for the new lads to fall for. we sent one lad across the road to another garage for it, he didnt appear again for a couple of hours, turned out theyd sent him up the road and thry sent him on again on and so forth lol. he never found it.
