  1. Me and you Le Sanglier, we'll show them all.
  2. Actually, when i think about some of the guys i used to work with............ just sent a wee shiver down my spine thinking about the time one of them ran off the end of his rope into a laurel bush. Shambles.
  3. Exactly.
  4. Like the ones in your avatar?
  5. I dont need pegs to make me feel safe, You've got to be tactful where you leave the pegs so nothing gets hung up, I like having a peg to take the weight off the spikes and much more comfortable for cutting, and i like to have my rigging block above a peg where poss, like some one said before the dangerous thing is slipping and falling not the pegs. more than one way to skin a badger.
  6. Unlikely if you leave pegs every few feet.
  7. I cant really understand how you would be in a situation where you would plough a 066 through your flip line? not accusing, just curious, I'm always super cautious when working with big saws in this situation.
  8. 201t mate
  9. no, I'm attached with my side strop and backed up with main line
  10. point well made...
  11. we got onto the topic and he suggested that he thought i was a fool for not using a wire core, he's obviously one of those guys who thinks his way is the only way, I'll let him crack on with that one. This is me "at it"..........
  12. Today i got greiff from another climber because I CHOOSE not to use a wire core flip line, never have. now i know i'm not the only person on the planet to do this, but curious if most others do?
  13. I think every new start should be made to try and smash 3 trees into a trailer and then get it out again, only then will they truly realise the true value of the chipper!
  14. Best post looking for work I've read on here - by far. Hope you get something. I'm sorry, but I'd have to hit that lass with a stick.
  15. when you cut down a Hemlock and a Scots Pine way down the bottom of the garden, make sure you carry out the Hemlock rings and leave the Scots for everyone else!
  16. If you like you could pop along to Dundee and have a rake through my stick pile to see if there's anything of use
  17. I'm a member of a trusted trader scheme and they expressly forbid cold calling, and i don't like it either way. I get some good work from it as its a well known and advertised scheme run by the council.
  18. It's bloody pricey for an old winch that's what it is
  19. Ok; main stem is 0.9m DBH and fairly clean and straight up to fist fork at around 4m. There is a couple of good 3-4m straight sections above first fork which you may want if i can get them out in full length. tree is virtually, but not completely shut down by DED. I am in discussion with TO to take out another but much smaller at the same time so there might be a couple of sticks out of that also. I tried to pm but cant add photos, if you are interested can you Email me on [email protected], Cheers failed attach below [ATTACH]123364[/ATTACH]
  20. sure, will be back on the site this week with the TO looking at other works. Will get back to you.
  21. yir brothers side looks better.
  22. kin yi drive that aboot, withoot it collapsing in a heap?
