    I was using a fujitsu tablet for doing Tree surveys, found it to be causing nerve damage due to weight. Went and sourced these Samsung Q1's. You can detach the keyboard, even with the larger 6 hour battery pack, it's pretty light. Can be used for many different applications and is very durable out in the field. Roughly 500 quid.

    Deep plunge cuts do the job nicely as Chris has suggested, plus something like this also. Bored wedge, sliced off back, reinserted and raised for entrance. Gives warm, dry, good sized cavity.

    Shots good enough to make me want to go. Seriously, whats with people and foreign holidays. I just dont get it. Sod the weather aspect. Pack for all eventualities thats my modus operandi. I guess the blessing is, these beautiful places stay relatively quite to enjoy. Nice post Reg.

    Thanks for posting your veiw Reg. Well worth the effort when the potentially huge number of newbies getting all wet and excited by your Arb Porn, are considered. Your predilection towards education through your experiences; is very comendable. .

    Very Good point Steve. Although I personally find Reg's technique to be acceptable and very ergonomic being used by somebody who understands fully the capabilities of said equipment & technique, It would definately be prudent to offer the inexperienced the pros and more importantly the CONS of Rigging timber in this particular way. Obviously not everybody has the opportunity to get on to a Cs41, which is a unit I believe all climbers should attain and renew.

    Forget the tirfor approach. Get your self one of these babies. Igland 9 t Used it yesterday to take out a hung up Ash from a Veteran Oak. Tirors definately have their place though, used one the previous day to get a grassed wheeled tractor up a steep bank.

    Not quite as lardyarsed as Dean yet, but well on the way. I'm generally a big time number 1, ( not always hot though) then nil by mouth till the evening. If I was still climbing day in day out, then this would obviously be different. Little and often should be the preferred way to go, Keep up those energy levels with regular boosts. Thats my opinion, for all that it's worth. .

    Yes Christopher, you must keep up with your house keeping you naughty batty boy

    John, the gun is used to stretch small rubber pipe sections on to ropes/carabiners to stop slippage/movement. I'm sure Nod will have some in stock at the trade fair. Also used in the subtle art of castration, I believe.

    Good ole Quercus robur, OM Smells like teen Spirit We got a great little cottage industry going here, Two hundred years to grow, couple of hours of mucking about with a saw to produce the finished article. We take on commisions. Trouble is, were running out of decent size old oaks to fell. .
