    Agreed. It's depressing to hear that most still hate it. On another note, I've just been into my local Husky dealer who reports that the new Husky top handled will be out in May. He's used it and says it's spot on. Not my words but here's hoping..............

    Thanks for the reply. Yes it was in good humour because I know you know what you're doing. I just remember the day when I did exactly the same thing. Using the sights on the saw and it slipped out the cut and almost cut my flip line and rope on it's way past! New pants. Never again for me.

    Hahaha, what's the question you really want to ask Mendip? :001_tt2:

    Good find Stephen. I'm not guilty of this, I give my boys breakfast & I'm always home by 5pm and don't work again until they are in bed. However, all but one of my friends only see their children at the weekends. Utter madness!

    What's with the one handed chainsaw style Reg, (in the 1st video)? You've been in Canada too long mate!

    As previously stated, Petzl say for DdRT use only.

    Anywhere on Wimbledon Common? Can you be more specific Ben or I'll end up tipping in front of Paddington Bear's gaff! 😂😱 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I'll have some clean Lime wood chips I need to dispose of. Anybody want it or know of a tip site nearby? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    :thumbup1:agree with that

    I suspect it's not difficult but I'm a techy retard:blushing: I still have not figured out how to get a time lapse recording onto iMovie! Crap, aren't I!:blushing:

    Oh, I've just noticed Truncator is on this thread. Well done on that saw horse mate. I Like that. It's on my shopping list now.
  12. Old Mill Tree Care
    That thing is flippin stoopid! There is an advert on the right of the screen for a thing called a Truncator. I've just been looking at the video and it's brilliant! I love how you can just tip individual logs into a barrow. So easy.

    Movie editing is the domain of people who can do magic, sorcerers, wizards etc. I found it virtually impossible to figure out iMovie in less than 20 hours so good luck! :lol:

    Second hand gear?! Anyway, I used a LJ for years with 13mm XTC and it was fine. Then I changed to Poison Hivee (11.8mm?) and found this to be infinitely better. Is the SJ better? Yes for some, not for others.

    IMO no one would buy a TW if they've used a Schleising. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Holy cow that's generous of him. You're gonna have fun with them.

    I have only read page one but the best bit of advice I could offer is this: Don't learn how to climb and dismantle a tree from a forum such as this. There are a lot of very good Arborists on here but if you misinterpret something on a post here, it could cost your life. Sorry, but in this job when things go wrong, it happens in a hurry often with horrible results.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    You'll get a better result by posting your question on the Climbers Forum. Anyway, What WorcsWuss said.
  19. Old Mill Tree Care
    That's insanely good! the climber is controlling the crane.
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    I've got some of those Bolle specs. Best ones I've ever had.
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    Damn it, these is no escape! :lol: So it's only a matter of time now. On a serious note, will you be coming to Britain this year? The shipping makes it very expensive.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    Are you talking about rigging or your personal tie in point (TIP) ?
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Brilliant Thomas. I've just been looking at that diagram on The Treehouse. Hahaha. It's all very compelling. FYI, I can answer some of your questions. I estimate I loose 1hr per week due to throw line tangles and throw ball inaccuracies. I go through 1 throw line per year using Zingit but I'm about to start using Dynaglide so that may improve. I don't know how many bags I go through because I've bought three in two years and still have all three. Based on these answers, the Rope Knight is expensive for me. Still want one though because I'm an impatient cuss and don't like messing with 'miss fires'. If I climbed big trees most if the time I'd buy a Rope Knight in a flash. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yep I was just doing the sums today whilst up a tree and that does make the De Walt expensive, unless you're actually using it a lot. I like the idea but it won't be the best choice financially.
  25. Old Mill Tree Care
    That's exactly it. I assume they are also charging so much for it because they are certifying it in house and there name is on the liability. It's a very good concept. Would I buy one? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
