Looks great. What makes Stafford style Stafford style?
-
Thank you very much.
-
Would you mind posting a link to it please.
-
Do you own an arb trolley, Ben?
-
Fun fact: Patents last 20 years, except pharmaceutical patents, which last a de facto 25. And we never landed on the moon.
-
OK. Ignore that. I've just seen the cost.
-
Fuck it. Is anyone climbing with a Genki Temagari and can you get a scabbard for them?
-
My usual is a Natanoko but I want something bigger. Ibuki, Zubat, Sugoi, Sugowaza seem to be the choices. Which is the best scabbard? My Natanoko has been dropping out more recently. And are any of them noteworthily better/worse for any other reason?

Post your location and someone on here local to you may well get in touch.

Bear in mind that the people charging £250 to turn up with a top handle and some string and the people who are happy to pay them that because they know they can put a £3000 tree on the floor with it aren't likely to be posting in these threads. They're probably on their yachts being attended to by gaggles of buxom chiropractors.

Well there's an endorsement you can take to the bank!
-
Can you tell us how the management of this land is funded please?
-
People will buy any old shit that's no use and far lesser ornament. Put them on ebay with some nonsense hippy spiel and charge £1000.
-
This sounds like the sort of twatting about usually paid for by taxation. Say it ain't so.
-
That’ll do as a crash barrier! Very good.
-
Just what was to hand. The proper ring will go back, with loctite or some tape.
-
After the initial drama and catchy thread title, I can now show you my bridge setup that I’ve been using for a few years that means a ring failing probably wouldn’t be fatal. The system works!
-
Pretty much but it's not standard. About to post about that.
-
Guess where I was when I noticed the screw and spacer were missing from this. Hint: not on the ground.
-
Some say cheeky. Others say breach of contract.
-
I was going to ask similar but there's already enough on the internet about SRT for trees that I shut my hand in a filing cabinet drawer instead. I put it to someone on facebook a while ago that he was getting himself into employers' liability territory by sending an apprentice (that he'd already taught good SRT to) to college to learn about blakes hitches. Blank looks.

I've heard the energy dissipation thing before but can't remember where. What are your sources for it? Either way, I know what I prefer. Strapped on. I like wearing a helmet full stop actually. Muffs on and visor down lets me really plough into the work. Whatever works for you though.
-
If you spiked ten feet up a stem and some dead wood fell on your head, you'd expect your climbing helmet to help you. I had a quick look and, without wanting to fuck about trying to understand the various standards, nothing was explicit other than the HSE link someone posted on this thread and some of the blurb about Husky helmets on the Honey Brothers website (neither hugely authoritative legal sources). The thing I find mad about helmets is the lack of chinstraps on the ground ones (same could be said for all other industries that wear helmets). I'm no terrified safety poof but I wear my chinstrap for everything and can't understand why anyone wouldn't. Loads of the videos on the internet of people having accidents cutting trees include their helmets pinging off into the undergrowth before they continue being thrown about, getting stuff dropped on them etc.
-
Why wouldn't you want both of those things in the woods?
-
What makes a forestry helmet a forestry helmet and a climbing helmet a climbing helmet?
