 Ill be there mate, likely camping if there's a good crowd like last time. Be good to see you there. Ill keep a beer on ice if a certain northerner moved south doesn't get there first.

Nice one Joe be good to see you mate 

Joe, I've been using the beofang uv-5r for a good 2 years now and to be fair that are as good as the kenwoods. at a fraction of the cost, loads of cheap accessories for them also. Amazon have them on there for around 30 squid mate.

Still climbing then Adam?

Not everyday mate. But I do get to do the odd one or two big trees on the estate. Mainly all remedial works and grounds maintenance at the minute buddy. 

Yeah definitely recommend, I use them in all applications, small and large take downs, redirects Ect, the pulley still has a place above them in my eyes but they are worth it. I'm sure I did a thread on them a few years back.

Hey guys, 

Long time no speak... At this point I must remind myself not to swear, you kind of get yourself in a little rut on other social media sites... ? 

So the reason I am posting, I will add in probably over a year or so... So the Apf show. Who is up for getting together at the show, we can look at everything and Anything you like, maybe head into town after grab some food and have a few drinks maybe even f**k s**t up... (you know that's getting edited... ??)... 

But it would be really nice to see some of you again, I feel I've lost touch with some great guys. And if I'm perfectly honest I miss you all. 

So who in who's a maybe? And what's your plans?.

Judging by that silhouette you were enjoying yourself there.

More than you know old bean... Haha

How's trix Felix mate?

Was there a convenient 'wood'pecker hole perchance, to place ones shadow Johnson in ?

Forget limb walking mate, you need to workout what will be your best route to take with regards to what work is required to the tree.

If you intend on going through natural forks then try and install a false redirect above the crotch. Try to avoid tight angles going through natural redirects if you intend on coming back through. Positioning of the false redirect is key to help you with the backtrack.

Try a few different hitch variations on the rope wrench setup a few less wraps on some hitches helps a long way when it comes to light climbers.

Some company's I worked for made you leave feeling like the 2/3 men teams were left in the yard, so when you say solo I can completely emphasise on your words Reg.

On a serious note, we do what we do what we have to do.

Scott is a great guy! I have a lot of time for him. His tutorial's are second to none!

Agreed, the 150 is a great little saw, great for pruning and small reductions.

Reduction!! Pah!! I use my on take downs! Rips through timber twice the size of its bar length no problem!

& that was only last wk

I wish mate, I would of done things a lot differently mate!!

Adam mate...YOU are an animal

haha they nicked named me monster at school.

My 150 is an animal!!

Hey guys,

Putting some feelers out as I know how fast the word travels on here. The estate that I'm on are looking for a mature Victoria plum, the tree will be a feature tree situated by itself but needs to be of a decent size!

It will also need to be delivered to boston Lincolnshire area. Can anyone help us out? All questions can be answered and yes money is no object! Please be serious with replies.

Thanks in advance

Adam
