Just spliced up an Armor prus eye to eye friction hitch sling, using the fantabulous jerry Class 3.5 splice... it occurred to me that there is no need to stitch or whip the splices as both end of the splice are buried and so put tension on the the end of the other splice so are constantly under tension so they cannot work lose... Or.. I am mad.. what do yous fellas think?

Arborists are on the skills shortage list with immigration, you should not have much trouble getting a job... check out Buy online and sell with NZ's #1 auction & classifieds site | Trade Me and search arborist....

Dunedin is a **** hole (I live there) but drive south through the catlins is pretty cool, west into Central Otago/ Queenstown if you want to get on the piss with a whole lot of other poms... Christchurch wasn't much before the earthquakes but The east coast of the south island north of Christchurch is pretty cool.Although Decemeber is officially summer it often rains and every fkkr is on holiday... february once the kids go back to school, quieter and less people about...

What size motors do you fellas use in the your tree trucks? Once you have a load of much and a chipper i would not think a 2.3 would pull a boy scout off his sister? We tend to have jap trucks down here in NZ but they are harder to find due to changed import regs but i see few ex UK trucks showing up..

The reason I ask, I teach a course, a one year practically based entry level course designed to put lads out there that can work, under supervision, safely and hopefully efficiently (with varying degress of success) I tell them aren't arborists yet, so perhaps we should say we are training tree surgeons. I have only made three posts because no matter how often I log on, everytime I cahnge a page I get unlogged..

What is the difference between a tree surgeon and an arborist... Tree surgeon is a tree climber, pruning, felling, doing the work, arse out of their pants kind of guy... Arborist is more cerebral, diagnosing, reporting, leather patches on the elbows of their jacket kind of guy...

Being on the other side of the world, it was never going to work buying an arbor trolley so we made one, by the time we designed it, sourced good steel, wheels, axles etc.. we could have actually got one from England. I don't want to be seen to be pinching your idea, we will use it on a polytech course and it was built by at risk kids for our own use, not for sale.
