i am willing to put a tenner on it being oak and your friend needs to get glasses or a tree ident book:001_tt2: chopping board for a conger eel?

Instead of moving the block around, why dont you use a second smaller pully to redirect for the smaller stuff. If you dont have a second pully you can use a steel crab or at worst a branch fork old school style.

haha yea the money suckers will be your biggest problem:lol: As for how much 30 and 31 cost, i couldnt say cos its been so long since i did mine that for sure the price is more. Someone else will need to jump in for that one. Good luck:thumbup1:

you will need tickets for sure but most of all experience and a will to sweat a lot works, problem being its difficult to get the experience so you will need to really want this as your future and have a lot of motivation. If your young then go for it but be prepared for a rocky ride. If your getting on a bit then physical fitness may play a bigger part in it and you may struggle to get your body in the right shape and you could be passed it by the time you get your feet in the door. There is lots to think about but first things first, get your qualifications and dont cut your leg off

nice one mate handy getting a customer like that.

I posted this video last week... looks like they dont like branch collars or safety lines cool bit of kit though:thumbup1:
-
Ah the first of many... Thats until you get a second backup (which i have also had stuck at the same time:blushing:)

Think he was meaning for the chipper and sawing the lumpy bits off. But if you did get your chinstrap caught in brash you wer feeding into the chipper then you aint feeding it right imo. Get you common sense out and use it, while your at it tie a rock round the h & s guys foot ant throw him in the sea:sneaky2:

the only thing that worries me about the smoke is if i get handed a lighter thats got the flame turned up too high! i hate losing eyebrows:001_tt2:
-
I think you meant to say "welcome to hell mate" But really the fact that this question is being asked is bordering on the ridiculous, its another nail in the coffin for common sense. Soon common sense will just be something you read about in a museum! When i get out of the tree i have a drink and then a smoke and if there is anything left to do then i get stuck in without even thinking of what helmet or trousers i have on because i have a helmet and class c's on so what the hell is the problem?

Ummm ok maybe i should have known that In my defence I did comment after a hard day on the tools though so i wasnt looking through fresh eyes, plus i think i may have had a beer or 2 and aliens abducted me that day too sheesh you wouldnt believe the list of brain slowing things that happened to me:001_rolleyes:

what are the benefits of a tree reduction?
David Goss replied to showoffsummer's topic in Tree health care
As most have said already it is completely dependant on the location, health, hazardous branch unions of the tree and potential targets that would justify a reduction. -
Two lines rather than both ends of the same line
David Goss replied to Ben H's topic in Climbers talk
I do the same:thumbup1: climbing line and wirecore flipline, the flipline can be a bit heavier than just a normal lanyard but its good for doing the indian rope trick to get it through a fork above you, and you always have the added security of not being able to cut it in half by mistake. -
works in Italian too
-
I climb on Imori as well but i use a spiderjack which works fantastic together. My wire flipline i always use a prussic. For other ropes and strops i have been experimenting a lot lately and i am liking the distel more than the rest at the moment.
-
I use a friction saver exactly like that and i like it:thumbup:, only thing was today i didnt put the ball on to retrieve it and i had to climb the tree a second time to get it back:thumbdown:
-
I didnt see all the video because my pc is doing slug impersonations again but i got the idea, seems very similar to my palm bike but this one at least has a saddle:laugh1:
-
I was going to say why dont you just get another bit of velcro but that looks much better:thumbup1:

Wow thats a beauty!!! you wood carving dudes sure make some cracking stuff:bowdown:
