Lads, you can watch the whole of ax men series 1-5 if you type into google "watchseries" then look up ax men. Many hours of viewing.

Down visiting the folks in Swanage and am needing to buy a few bits and bobs for my saws. Just wondering if anyone can recomend somewhere to go. Also is there anywhere near here to buy climbing kit as i need a few new toys. Cheers in advance

Im currently visiting the folks in Swanage for 3 weeks until the 5th Aug and am wanting to fill my time whilst here. Have CS30/31/38/39, IRATA level 1, first aid, own PPE, own saws and climbing kit. Happy to do anything from climbing to dragging brash. Not 100% yet but i may also need a guy with UA certs and a chipper. My aunt and uncle have a scots pine with a dead limb over hanging the house and some power lines.

Perhaps i worded it wrong. What i meant was i was wanting to go over for a holiday anyway but if i could get a placement i would apply for a H1B working visa. That way i could stay for longer and earn a few pennies legally.

Hi all, i am currently thinking about going out to the US somewhere for a wee holiday as iv never been before. I thought id go now when work is pretty much non existant here at the moment but i really want to try and get some work out there. I have no idea on how to go about getting work etc. Is there an american version of "arbtalk"? Or is there anyone from the US on here that can help. Cheers in advance Paul

Just a quick heads up for anyone down near Swanage/Bournemouth way that might need a hand. Ill be comming down from Glasgow this Friday for 3 weeks to visit the folks in Swanage. Got CS30/31/38/39, IRATA level 1 and first aid. All my own ppe,saws,transport etc. I am just looking to fill my time whilst down there. If anyone needs a hand let me know and ill give you a bell asap. Cheers Paul

Just remember what you have been taught, take your time. Speed will come with experience. Be safe and most of all have fun!

Yeah aid climbing is pretty much that but instead of hanging on like a sloth, improvise foot loops and work your way along. Thats how i do it in Rope access work. Well done though, nothing broken accept a sweat!
-
Aid climb along it, then cut and chuck.

Its been 3 years almost since my last full time job! Had to move home to Glasgow from wales as couldnt afford to pay rent, bills etc anymore. I thought that moving home would give me a better chance to find full time work. But still nothing:thumbdown:. Now im lucky if i can get a few days work in a month! Iv sent out my cv to all the companies i can find near me, sent emails etc. Iv even tried to find companies down near Bournemouth where the rents have a holiday home and still nothing. What am i doing wrong?/ what more can i do? Im going stir crazy not being able to work! Any help would be great guys, Cheers Paul

Haha nae bother, just looking for fellow jocks to have a few jars with down there. Was going to say bring the mrs but thats quite possibly the worst idea i have ever come up with

Is anyone from Scotland going down to Jonsies show this year?
-
My mate Dan Farnworth (Farney) should be racing there. Was going to go but ended up moving back to Glasgow.

Not sure about that, Im 6 1" and 14.5stone and my old boss was 6 5"ish and about 16stone. He has the largest one and he still has to tighten his up a fair bit. But as you say theres no definitive answer to this question.

Personally i have the sequoia srt. Love it, very comfy light and good value for money. Cant speak for the austrian duo but it all depends on your own personal preference. Try and find somewhere to try out a few different ones and have a hang in them and see what you find best. Happy hunting

Cheers steve, red one arrived today. Chuffed doesnt cover it!
-
Thats what i originally thought, common white beam. But wasnt 100%. what about swedish white beam?
-
Was talking to mum the other day and she asked if i could find out what species this is. If its that obvious then just shoot me now!

Had something similar done 2 years ago. Keyhole surgery in my knee to remove cartilage. Had it done on the Friday and was back at work on the Monday. For the first 24 hours try and rest it. After all you aint supposed to have a hole cut in the side of your knee and stuff taken out so it will be stiff and sore etc. but after that its all good!
-
Either that or someone stole the actual postman! It finally arrived today. Nice quality and perfect size:thumbup:
-
No not yet mate, iv set up camp next to the front door waiting for it! fingers crossed.
-
Or Glasgow!
-
Cool, where about you from?
-
Hahaha, very true! At least glasgow has a bit more excitment. Hay was full of book shops and tourists that steal your parking space! And i dont get a parking ticket for parking outside my own house!
