    Actually I usually use a *clove hitch! Clive doesn't enjoy being hitched all the time. Lol!
  2. Old Mill Tree Care
    That's a very good idea. I mostly take a big bight of rope and Clive hitch it onto the branch to create a static redirect.

    I had to remove a dead branch from a very tall Pine today. It was the lowest branch and at about 80ft up. BigShot in & base anchor. Walk up the rope. Cut the branch and get down. In and out in 45 minutes without breaking a sweat. £190+vat. Try doing that with a Prussik and ladder, without spikes!

    On my Clip 'n Step boots the 'stirrup' wraps around the widest part of my foot. Is it the same on yours? Mine have always been this way but it's a different position to where the Floop sits on my chainsaw boots, so it feels odd. Not a complaint I just wondered if my boots are odd or normal.

    I know where there is tons of Oak. You just need to take it, like you said you would.

    That's a dreadful waste of a Sunday morning. That time is in our calendars to be used as productive hangover recovery. Whilst lying on the sofa wishing you were dead it takes 2 minutes to order a BigShot online.

    I meant compact not company.

    The Bandit 90 is a great machine but too heavy to tow behind a 3.5t truck.

    I've pm'd you so here are the photos. There's one Ash log with a cavity in the centre. One Oak log that's dead and solid. One Oak log that's a bit squify. If you're interested call Al on 07834 414371

    I'm on the HH1. Never used the HH2 but by all accounts it's the same but smaller. I would describe the BDB and Akimbo as company mechanical SRT devices, if that's what you're after.
  13. Old Mill Tree Care
    Love it.
  14. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes it's a tight fit in the bone. What rope are you climbing on?
  15. Old Mill Tree Care
    No I just throw it in the bin and buy another. I'm too posh to waste time untying throwline!
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes it is.
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    Agreed.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    Dead easy on SRT. Blast your throw line over the top of everything, pull your rope through and base tie. Get to the top and top tie. Strip the Ivy on the way down. Cup of tea. Leave site 25% sooner than if you'd been working with a DRT system and email the invoice.

    The advice is to buy an Echo.

    I reckon there is only one decent pickup truck any where in the world. Toyota Land Cruiser, like the ones that The Overlander brings in. I don't know what they are called but I do know that when I worked in Namibia no one would drive the brand new Land Rovers or Mitsubishi. Everyone clambered over the old Toyotas that had done 200k miles. Honestly, those things go on for ever and when they do need a repair, only a hammer and screwdriver is needed!

    There are only four ways of getting in a tree. 1: Big Shot 2. MEWP 3. Drone to carry the throw line through the canopy. 4. Fell the fuc**r.
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    I've got a 37m for the small trees and a 60m for the taller trees. I wish I'd bought 75m because I prefer to base anchor most of the time. Edit: You won't regret getting a HH2. Brilliant device.

    Actually he wants it to carry all the beer in!
