  1. Oh how i miss three strand!!! but i still climb with a prussic, tried all these new fangled things like lock jacks and vt etc, although i'm looking forward to trying out the zig zag. looks like it could save my knackered fingers. Got to admit that most new techniques in climbing have passed me by, never really took a great deal of interest in them all and to be honest most happened without me even being aware of them. This srt thingy has grabbed my interest though.

    660 or 880?

    I've run a 660 on a 32" bar for many years. very rarely needed anything bigger.
  3. Just wondering like, I'm 48,been climbing 20 yrs + and still climbing most days although No1 son does all the big stuff these days. Who here older and still at it, tree climbing that is?
  4. Old age is the worst ailment of the lot. All my aches and pains from the job, i can live with, getting old however is a complete pain in the arse.
  5. Sorry ,forgot contact no 07912 855177.
  6. As title says. groundsman/ trainee climber needed. CS30 & 31 needed, Chipper ticket and CS 38 would be great. Full driving license also needed. Work is 90% utility(i know) 10% domestic. All the work is beds, northants and milton keynes based. we are based in Sharnbrook, Bedford. Very good rates of pay and a generous bouns scheme. 28 days holiday inc bank holidays plus a few days for christmas. Employment would start at the beginning of April.
  7. I've been a lurker on this site for a while now so thought i'd take the plunge and join in. I've been involved in the industry for over twenty years., mostly as a climber, but now the years are cracking on i'm slowing down a bit, well ok, a lot. I ran my own business a few years back but like a lot of us i got hit badly when the recession hit. But as they say"once more into the breach dear friends" New business name reqistered and shortly to start trading. Up and at em.
  8. try a treemotion harness. maybe not the best for longevity but most comfortable i've ever used.
