Not at all, that's really helpful info.

Thanks for advice, I'll definitely try the knut.

Yeah I've heard mixed reviews of the OP, will try AP in the future. I never give up, even if it takes me ages to get the hang of. I've seen the benefits of using it, when compared to hip-thrusting.

Just got my new toys through in the post courtesy of FR Jones. Any tips for a greenhorn moving from prussiks to the hitchclimber?

Traffic cones are expensive? People will nick anything? Student night nearby? Sorry to hear that mate.

Good luck to the lad. If I was 10 years younger...grr! .

No worries mate.

Compared to the overall size of the trees in question, the amount of material Ian and I removed was miniscule. The amount of wounding to the tree was minimal. The root plates were all covered with mulch anyway so didn't need screening by the lower branches. Mr Flatters is a very experienced, knowledgeable and professional arborist. To call the work he does "butchery" is incredibly rude and shows a lack of understanding of what good practice in tree work is.

Also agreed, some people are just complete naturals in terms of balance and dexterity. Speaking as someone on the complete opposite side of the spectrum from the chap in video, I find it quite inspirational. If I can get even one fifth as good as he is, I'll be happy! I might try tomorrow, got 16 leylandii to take down!

I'm dreading my first summer in type C's! On the plus side, all the pretty girls come out!

what is the world coming to a tree surgeon stabbed!

Not necessarily, some people are just evil gets. As if the job wasn't dangerous enough. Hope he has a speedy recovery. -
You're right, there is no legal requirement to hold any competency certs, it's purely an insurance issue.

020?

Mine's ok, but doesn't get worn loads at the moment. The bridge rings are something that I'm concerned about, but stitching should be sound.

Well done mate. Good luck!

Believe me, his groundy is NOT fast! The magic of time lapse gives me super speed! Great vids. Great weekend.

Leon. I think. There are so many.

Have you ever been there when a tree has failed naturally ?

Ah so that's the tree you wanted me to climb... Hope what's left of the tree is sound enough! -

The water craft thing intrigued me too.

Well, after squeezing through the ivy, and then making life difficult for myself during the ascent, I wasn't too displeased with my first attempt at a coronet. Had a couple of hairy cut and chuck moments, and my movement around the crown wasn't what I'd call smooth! But to be honest I'm loving the variety of the work and owe a big thanks to Ian for the opportunities! Cheers bud.
