    Why can’t you then? (Serious question actually)

    That’s right, screw the man who was good enough to have faith in you and give you a job. Smash his kit up then take him to court over your mistake. That’s the attitude that has this country in such a state, FFS

    Send a lorry and it’s yours then....[emoji12]

    It’s a phone line that passes close by.

    I have a 3ft DBH Scots Pine and a 3.5ft DBH Lime tree in Warlingham, Surrey. Pine is about 30ft before the first branch and the Lime is about 40ft. They’re both straight and access is good. If you’d like them please PM or better still, call 07834 414271. Thanks Al.

    I’ve only ordered several things from them I’ve the years and it’s all arrived immediately and correctly/well packaged.

    This! The reality is that unless the groundie climbs regularly, there’s no hope. Besides which, in the event of a chainsaw cut, if you can’t get yourself down in less than a minute, there’s no hope.

    Then it won’t fit through a standard gate though.

    Anything that doesn’t come out a Land Rover factory will be better than a defender, therefore it’s a success! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji95][emoji95]

    The side handle is entirely different in design therefore ergonomically they are very different. Suits some, not others.

    Erm, coulda / shoulda shot them!

    Still looking for this elusive person.

    Possibly but I prefer to throw my toys out and have a tantrum first[emoji12]

    Flipping heck, I asked the same question a few months ago and didn’t hear about this place! [emoji849][emoji23][emoji23]

    I am in need of an additional climber to join the teams. We carry out mostly domestic work along with some good commercial jobs (that I’m quite picky about). Suitable candidate needs to be very conscientious, capable and proficient with reductions, dismantles and rigging. Pay will be dictated by your ability to meet the aforementioned criteria of course. If this sounds like your thing, call 07834 414271 or email [email protected] or PM on here. Thank you Al.

    Yes I think climbing on two ropes is Drt but aka TRT = Twin Rope Technique lol! If you’re sick of hitches and knots, get a Bulldog Bone. [emoji1360]

    I guess if you’re keen to try one then you’ve done your research and whittled it down to this. In which case, just buy one. You won’t be disappointed.
  19. Old Mill Tree Care
    Well if you are saying to them that you’re climbing on a single line, just don’t specify what configuration you are using that line in. ie: doubled or stationary. In my mind, SRT means Stationary Rope Technique. DbRT means DouBled Rope Technique. They’re both single line techniques though! Regardless of the system you’re using, it’s still a single line, as in one line. Unless your climbing on twin lines ie: two lines/ropes.

    I clipped mine onto the harness bridge ring. Originally I had a tether thing that was on the top of the karab but then I disposed of it because I was too lazy to thread it on when setting the device up.

    I have no doubt that those grinders are very effective but I can honestly see 95% of employees rolling them within 20 minutes. I hope I’m wrong but the Carlton with the same track configuration was dodgy and had much smaller overhangs than this Bandit. Sorry to poo-poo and I’m not criticising. I’m actually a huge Bandit fan.

    CT for me cos it’s better than the Petzl.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Valid point Gary but one only needs to look in the tank to see and smell the fuel. Beyond that, look in the cylinder and it won’t be stained by 2 stroke.

    Aspen is Husqvarna’s fuel of choice. ALL the R&D work is done with it. Plus it’s premixed so the operator can not mix it.
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    That’s what I’m hoping for. I’ve put it on Twitter as well. I don’t normally make a fuss but this is unacceptable.
