    Today's copper beech reduction, actually took flipping ages becouse of the wind and the amount of branches, it had been done in the past by me I think around 5 years ago so the customer wanted a tidy up on it (pointless) lol Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Personally speaking if you fancied a challenge at first but In the long run a massive improvement, I would look at investing in a ART spiderjack, with a pulleysaver as your cambium saver. Go and check out spiderjackery 2 video on YouTube, it's a full tutorial Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Iv used a stihl hi-flex jacket for about 6 years now and I have to say it's very durable, I ripped or once but that was my folt, it isn't waterproof so that's somthing to think about and it is abit hot for this time of year, but who wears a jacket at the moment anyway, I couldn't recommend it enough, slightly expensive but doesn't matter if it lasts you 6 years, I might replace it with a pfanner stretch air one next if I can bring myself to spend the money.

    Yea I have used two ropes when needed, for instances like you point out. I'm not against that at all, it's the big tree reductions or small come to think about it I can see it been fiddly, I guess since using SRT for all my climbing I just put a redirect in where I once might have used another rope, I dunno, I'm sure plenty will disagree with me haha Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Just read the other thread on this subject, and it has again come up on my Instagram account after posting a video of my co climber not using a second tie in point during cutting, I can see the benefits in some instances of having 2 lines such as way out on a branch with no other tie in points around apart from the one that your on, but like in my video that branch was dead! Haha so two lines would be good. BUT and this is a big one, in his country anyway no one has the time or money on a job to let it take longer, this is what 2 lines would shorly do, just take too long, and probably more tiring after, I could be wrong but that's my opinion.
