    Is that Charles Hey's old Landy? Very nice. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Looking at the picture, you should not have a problem with branch snapping when you are out in a pruning position. As you gain more experience you'll improve your technique but also learn how much a branch can bear. Also, don't branch walk backwards. By going forwards on the way out you can hold onto branches for stability.

    Still dark, cos it's 5:28am. It hasn't rained for five weeks.

    I need a full time groundsman or groundsman/climber. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Told you. Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I'm on my 4th pair of Airstreams. First three were great. The midsole on the current ones started splitting after a few months and it now absorbs water. They are literally falling apart. My foot stays dry but i can hear the sole squelching. They'll need replacing before they are a year old! Rubbish Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Crikey. It certainly looks expensive having a stand at a show. And then punters come along expecting mega discounts! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Cool. That's how I used to descend on my LJ, when I was in mid air. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Are you positive it's Thuja? (I'm looking on my phone) Has there been a change on the ground? eg: Soil dumped. Grass cuttings dumped. Has any landscaping been done nearby? When did it appear and could it be aphid damage? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I think he wants you to go to the APF to see one. 😄 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Phanner have a very good helmet already on the market. It has the best ventilation system. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Thanks Ian I understand what you mean about the preference thing. I spent years on a Lockjack and find a massive difference between mechanical and rope hitch. Can a comparison be made between a RR and SJ for descending? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Don't put your coat on now or you won't feel the benefit! If the wind changes direction you'll get stuck like that! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Licensing is the way to go. Trailer and HGV will be standard requirement in the near future. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yep, I think so. From the dog bone, direct the first wrap around your rope by passing the hitch cord over the HH spine first. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Thanks for doing this Ian. It's mid line attachable isn't it? How would it compare to the Hitch Hiker or is that an impossible question? Thanks Al. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    DMc just brought up a good point on another thread so I thought i'd post it here. He suggested to start your hitch wraps towards the spine of the HH because it holds the dog bone closer. I remembered that it took me ages to realise that last year! The photo in the link below is of wraps the 'other' way.

    A 130 will only reduce your legal payload.

    Luminous 1980's socks. Horrific '80s fashion that the kids today think they are the first to wear it! Liebfraumilch & Blue Nun wine. The Chopper bicycle. My dad bought a Maxi in a poo brown colour. 5 car sick squabbling kids could fit across the back seat. Power cuts when it snowed. Power cuts when it was windy. Power cuts when it rained. Power cuts for no reason. Happy memories! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    My transit got hot too but that was just the damn sun on the windscreen and it didn't look quite like yours. Sorry to see that Bob. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    That's some nice hedge photos but I don't see or hear mention of an Easy Lift Harness. I forgot to take mine on Tuesday. Oh what a horrible difference that made. Sore elbows and very badly tingling hands, as well as the fatigue. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I think if you like the Willans you'll love the Komet Butterfly, or is it the Dragonfly. The seat one, not the leg loops one. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.
