    I can see what your saying mate but I don't think one handed saw use is the right analogy, you could say a climber that wears front protection chainsaw trousers and uses a standard lanyard (none steel core) that one hands a saw from time to time in his composite toe capped boots is more prone to an accident than anyone else!! I doubt it though. Should we even call them accidents? More of an incident really! Someone has to be at fault and it almost always boils down to user error. Boots are what they are and I've never looked at steel toe caps as chainsaw protection only crush protection. The same as composites. I wouldn't rely on a steel core flip line as I've stated in a previous thread "they give such a false sense of security"

    Cheers mate you too. Took 3 1/2 hours then we felled a failed beach tree. I'll be putting a video up soon Spec was to alleviate root pressure so was kind of down to my own discretion, approximately 1m-3m on all laterals:)

    Don't get me wrong mate, the rubber nubs are nice, I may get some metal ones of you in the future but for now I'm loving it the way it is

    Oak seem to deal well with gals, and sweet chestnut being oak family I can't see them being much different. I could be wrong

    No worries at all Gordon Rubber nubs are ok at the minute mate, I did however like the metal nubs from the last generation, was there any particular reason for the change? Hey Matty, the bone can collapse down to zero friction, so moving out at high Angles isn't really an issue, like you say the wrench can create a lot of drag that way. I don't recall having a problem with the hitchhiker that way though. The bone has to be the closest I've come to a mechanical hitch, even micro movements. And swing drops are smooth as, it takes a while to bed the bone in but becomes smoother with every climb. There was a point in the video where I needed to swing drop but from the video it looks like I was level with the limb, the bone obviously made it look really smooth. all in all I'm very happy with it mate

    This should work for you American guys and gals

    We fill out designated conservation consent forms then we receive a acknowledgement letter then they make a decision on wether or not to TPO. We then wait for the application to be granted as you say 6 weeks ish! We receive the granted works letter through with what works we've stated and proceed with the work
  22. Adam Bourne
    Then you need to inform the owners that the consent form is A, out of date and B, there's no detailed information on works to be carried out! Which of cause is completely irrelevant anyway. If there's no record of the new proposed works or a copy of the conservation application on the councils website then chances are there's been no recent one done. If I where you then I'd hold fire until there's light on the situation or you apply for the works yourself
  23. Adam Bourne
    Just get them to show you the Consent form, if not then walk away until you've seen it. You are still liable for not checking either way.
  24. Adam Bourne
    Thanks Scott. Hi Gordon, I'm working on it mate, just got to edit it slightly, I know the issue and should be an easy fix, I'll post the American version up as soon as I can thanks. Adam
