  1. Rumour has it that Steve makes a pound every time someone asks this and he still wishes they wouldn't.
  2. Can we re-hijack this thread back to felling cuts?
  3. openspaceman hates blacks don't forget. Might as well round up the lot of you together. You can share a duty solicitor.
  4. Does anyone have much experience of using double climbers on big/tricky takedowns with rigging. Is it generally more productive? If so, how much more productive? Does double the climbers double productivity? Less than double? More than double? Maybe it's slower than one climber? I've done little stints, most memorably on lombardy poplars (straight up and down, repetitive tip tying). I've stayed high, clipping rigging and someone else cuts low. Saves me a lot of ascending and descending and I can keep my small saw, while the lower cutter can have a bigger saw and not have to move much with it. What's it like in more normal three dimensional crowns? One or two rigging systems? Working independently or ganging up on one branch at a time with span rigs etc? Anything to note about tie in points and climbing systems?
  5. I was disappointed when my google search didn’t return any specialist pornography.
  6. What do the Germans call the trench cut?
  7. Don't bother replacing her. Or at least only replace her with the cat.
  8. Where do you stand on the axiom of uniform stress? I'm a believer but only in an informal, not academically rigorous way. Rob Rainford on here explained it very nicely once, particularly multilateral dependence, and it made sense and fitted with my general view of nature, that man plans and god laughs.
  9. A pointless week of newspapers and chatter followed by a pointless future of newspapers and chatter.
  10. It’ll end up like the Judge Dredd sequel. Or never happen.
  11. Is there a name to the practice? Anything to google it by. Could you link to the YouTube video please.
  12. What are the kerfs on the floor of the gob? Did you bore a rough square one out and then finesse it?
  13. Maybe fourteen ish down to eleven ish.
  14. Something like two grand off the arb package; thirteen ish down to eleven ish.
  15. Buy or make a rope wrench and stiff tether and add them above your current hitch. Buy a foot ascender if you don’t already have one. That’s it. Lash up some bits of bungee or string to your chest/neck if you want to keep the stuff tending better. #srtsooi on Instagram.
  16. Was the “help” he got her more or less “proper” than stacking her a brash screen though?
  17. I saw the show deals they had for the current Sherpas at the APF and thought that they were actually decent discounts, not the common thing with shows where it’s basically normal price and you have to carry it miles round a field. And now it all makes sense.
  18. Let that slide. Arborculture, arboculture etc are useful flags.
  19. I'm a hateful person. It stems from my happy childhood.
  20. I wish I'd saved that training provider's promotional video where the bloke is blowing a path in slow mo with some heroic music on in the background.
  21. That’s not necessarily it. The guy above can spell geometry, woeful and Gloucestershire.
  22. What type of money? Predominantly dirty would be my guess. I’d be interested to hear from the forum’s hedgelayers how much work is private and how much is via the landed dolescum filling in forms.
  23. Why do people insist on spelling Kubota with any combination of vowels other than the right ones? Often done while accompanied by a picture of a machine with the logo on. Is it a code?
