Didnt they make match sticks out of poplar?

good post

yeah, and there is VERY VERY little about, not for the theory or for the ticket side of things.

Its an expensive risk for employers to take someone on from scratch and put them through the tickets that they need to be allowed to work legally, but government says you have to have them to work but arnt willing to help people to get them!

have a look @ proclimber carmarthen, pencoed college or college sir gar all of which will be able to offer you the climbing courses you need failing tha i can pass on a local ish assesors number and he will be able to help. think cs38 & 39 is around the £700 mark with all of them think the colleges may be cheaper but there might be a bit of a wait.

Anything i can help with just send me a pm

i personally think that it is not possible to equate wages to a role , its more important to set a wage to a man's skill , the guys that work for me are top chaps that do not feel they have a set role, our outlook is that if you can see a job that needs doing then get on with it there is certainly no them and us betwne climbers and groundies .

when we start any job it starts with the boss saying " right who wants to do what?" to which most of us reply "don't mind ". sometimes the climbers come down and help the groundies and sometimes the groundies work twice as hard as the climbers just to get the job done. If the boss isnt climbing then he is on the floor doing what ever needs doing even if its raking and shoveling. All our pay is very similar P/H i think it keeps the team feeling and no one job is more important than any other so we are all happy to do whatever needs to be done!

zubat 330 for me too, i always catch my finger on the back of the gomtoro

If your lighting fires on a regular basis then a parrfin flame gun ( flame gun 2000 i think we used) works wonders just to keep the core temp there till it gets going just try and keep an eye on the wick:thumbup1: used it while doing rhodie clearance for the fc, a flame gun,a blower and a small coke bottle of parrfin right in the center just leave the top off or it goes bang!

I seem to remember an old boss of mine telling me that douglas fir burns really well green and is good to use a few branches if there is any about. Any one heard this before

I go for ex army gortex it dries quickley, its light, strong and the hoods are big enough to go over your lid so you dont get a wet neck!

Think I paid 40 quid for my last one and its lasted years of abuse

How many navaras will you see in 50 years still working?

slightly off topic i know but didnt andrew do all the rigging for one of the harry potter films?

wow, it almost sounds cheaper to run two 3.5t's and split the loads. The laws surrounding this type of work don't make life easy do they!

cheers!,sorry i should have been more specfic . I was looking at getting either a 90 or a 110 with a 2.5 na diesel. Its not how it looks with me its more important its solid & runs properly!

I have been told that lpg is no good for towing, i guess you could drag pretty much anything with a 3.9 v8 but have you noticed any diffrence towing with lpg or do you just switch to petrol when draging a heavy load? sorry to derail a little bit from the thread.

Thanks again!

The saddest thing about it all is that for just a few logs this guy has helped destroy peoples faith in new employees.

Im still fairly new to arb and I have been working my jewels to the floor just to prove im worth spending time and money on because people seem to take the mick with employers.

All i want to do is work in arb, but with some peoples lack of respect it has made a sometimes difficult job even harder, im not going to run off with all you kit when your not looking, if you kindly offer me a bag of logs then its a bag of logs i will take not a twig more! and in paying for my tickets you have just given me the key to a job i love for life and if your a good team why would i want to risk losing it by pinching.

Just dont tar me with the theiving, lazy and im doing you a favour just by turning up thing!

The way I see it is he has been given a fantastic oppertunity and stuffed it up by pinching! tell him to buy his own chipper,rent a yard like everyone else and employ someone who is willing do do his job because they love it and not for the perks, god knows there is enough of us out there:001_smile:

I've looking at getting a landy for a while now, whats the mpg like? what are they like for rot? are the hard/expensive to lift yourself? and is there anything i should look out for when buying an old one?

cheers guys!

......

sorry!

......

Hilux or a landy all the rest take to much to maintain!

Think it needs to be steamed before its applied , what wood is it your trying to cut?

YepI feel your pain!, I live about 40 meters away but they start at 8 am sat and sunday!! but on the plus side they do have a huge yew and a sequioa in the grounds which is the view from my window
