    Why do you keep doing this on every thread you read? It's all supposed to be constructive information sharing chatter. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Removal of a 90ft Coast Redwood with phone lines and drains under. Site clearance for yet another footballers wives style pad! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Actually I run my 395 on 34" bar 404 pitch and it runs well. Better than the 660 I had on same bar. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  5. Old Mill Tree Care
    Except you have forgotten about the 395xp, which is better, of course, so there. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Only a matter of time until someone made one of these. So it works the same as the Bulldog OAR but its midline attachable. Excellent! That was a great video of how it's made and a guy in a tree but a video of the rope moving through it an weight coming off and on the device would be even better. Good job Kevin Bingham. 👍👍 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I recently got Petzl Airglide but only shot it a few times so it still has its memory from being on the spool. Too early to say but previous research I did brought up positive feedback. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    That made me laugh. It makes me look back on those times with such fond memories..... ...... and makes me so glad I'll NEVER be there again! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Why climb it when there was a big enough MEWP? Great job though. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Be careful not to humiliate your boss on a public forum, unless he's on here and game for a laugh. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    This is what ward.S (Saron) has been doing for us this week. Dismantling of a 90ft Coast Redwood over 4 phone lines and multiple drains in the drop zone. The job went very smoothly and Saron gelled with us straight away. He works very safely and is very thorough and appears to have no interest in cutting corners. On a personal level, during his first job with us I found him to be quite self deprecating and keen to tell me the limits of his abilities and what he can't do. This was a refreshing change from the "Yeah, I can do it all super fast" brigade that this industry is awash with. As it transpires, Saron can do the whole lot and does it well. He's a quality contract climber so enjoy the video below, the whole version is on the Video Forum.

    Here follows a video. It's a 90ft twin stemmed Coast Redwood that had to be removed due to drain, footpath and kerb stone issues. I did the free fall bits at the beginning then Saron Ward (Freelance climber, s.Ward on Arbtalk) did the branch rigging and got the tops off. There are four phone lines behind the tree, hence the branch rigging. I then did the stem rigging. After that Rob The Mog came and lifted all the timber, complaining that I hadn't got the stems down in 15ft lengths and my gob cuts wasted timber:laugh1:. Filming done with my GoPro in the tree and my iPhone from the ground. All done in 1.5 easy days.

    What's not as low a some think? What is 100BPS? Sorry if these are daft questions. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    Thanks. That's what I thought. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Sorry if this has been asked before but does Coast Redwood burn well, or the other Redwoods while I'm asking? I suspect it doesn't but this is the place to ask. Thanks. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    However, to put on a large sporting event these days is very expensive and the only option is to gain corporate sponsorship. Those sponsors want exposure and a return for their investment so Lorenzo letting off fireworks, Rossi with his sometimes too large character, Simoncelli with his whacky suaveness, these are the things that draw the crowds on TV. Big TV crowds draws more sponsorship................. I agree, it can detract from the pureism of the sport but we live in a Capitalist culture. Look back at the Rossi / Gibernau days. Two riders on rival teams but both teams with the same headline sponsor. That was the ultimate promotional caravan for Gallouisse and they wisely spent millions to have both teams. As a punter, I just choose to watch the talent and fury being played out on the track. The pre & post race circus is something I'll watch if I'm feeling charitable but I won't loose sleep over it.

    Dunno about a foot spa but I've just been driving a '94 McLaren F1 car round Spa! Not the real thing you understand, just a simulator.

    Looks like Globalnewark wants us to phone for the price as he doesn't have them on the web site either. Maybe he doesn't know either!

    Joe Public is blissfully unaware of the dodgy and illegal industry that is the domain of the 'traveller'. ( I mean thieving scum )

    Are you using Ice Tail with your HH Pete? Are you still DdRT or SRWP climbing? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Can Tenex (9mm or other) be used as hitch cord? I see Honey Brothers sell it and it is considerably cheaper than most other cords.

    Ok, so there's some serious gear on this thread. I don't have any of it, my most serious weapon is a BigShot but I need to shoot some foxes while my family is away on holiday. Can a decent air rifle do the job from 10 metres away?
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    Ditto that. He's got some real talent and it would be great to see him grow through Moto GP. Having said that, my monies on Crutchlow in two years. Until then, Rossi rules!!
