I think i would agree with populus alba * am using a book as i am new to this but its fun when one of these comes up* "fruit: small green capsules borne in catkins 4in (10cm) long opening to release tiny seeds held in white cotton wool like hairs." i dont think it will be in fruit but the cotton wool like hairs look right. please correct me if i am wrong

i used to work as anoutdoor instructor for the last 4years then helped a tree surgeon who needed to do work on our site and anytime he came back i helped. nows he is a good friend and i started with a company in suffolk. i am hoping to emulate some of the guys higher up the posts with a company of my own one day *fingers crossed. -
wow thats cool i may have to have a look in my local charity shop

-

Could woodland group ownership be a pension fund
Ian Clarke replied to Les Cork's topic in General chat
i would definitley be intrested in this idea. -
it is better to replace the bridge than hit the floor via a possible multitude of branches and other items. stay safe always
-
its not stein but i have a samurai and it does a good job i've handled a silky as well. the silky is better but the samurai does a good job and they are not that expensive
-
yeah it was a good day and a winch would of been good but we had limited access and limited choices so you got the lacky to do it but i had fun except for when i got stuck *for a moment
-
if you want a landy look at modsales or something like that its ex mod stuff they sell and when the mod service a landy they do it right so should be good. cant remeber the website but look on google and youll find it

i think i have just found the sloution. i havent done extensive research but this is what i was thinking of icom hand held radio Icom IC-4088SR - 2 Way Radio Shop icom headphone and microphone 2 Way Radio Shop hope this helps
-
my friend has been able to put headphones into his ear defenders. my idea is to have flat profile earphones. the lead running down the inside of your t-shirt and the radio on the back of the harness. the talk button and mic are the bits i'm not sure of. downsides i can see are saw dust and things catching on the radio. long wire coming out of tshirt catching on things and the problem of microphone and talk button.
-
no problems here all day * been popping in and out of arb talk all day as i have broken myself and off work for a bit.
-
i'm intrested depending on when it is * current broken ankle so might not be strong enough by the time this happens* fingers crossed
-
i can do 2 60m climbing ropes in less than 15 minutes. and besides a weekly thing will also show up any knicks or bad bits in the rope because your running your hands along it.
-
flake the rope out to one side of you and then pull the rope through your hand holding it tight *yes your hand will get warm* pull at a reasonable pace but dont pull it fast. as you get to the end of your rope it should be getting the twists out because you will see it twisting up and winding around when you get to the end. hope this helps and makes sense to keep twists from occuring repeat this once a week should take 5 mins
-
yep that does count good thinking sloth
-
the thought occured to me that the rescuer has to decide if it is safe enough for them to enter the tree and perform the rescue. also if the rescuer can be belayed by someone on the ground then would that help as if they fell unconsious they could be lowered to the ground *if it was completley clear beneath them.
