thought so, the more i looked at it the more i thought i was wrong doh! need to hold my gob till i am sure

Sorbus aria 'Lutescens' Whitebeam but not sure cos it looks a bit sparse on the greenery for that...

FNAR FNAR :lol:

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.

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:

i have a friend with one as well and he loves it but imo treemotion is the top harness right now and i wont be looking for anything else.

ok you got me on the petrol consumption:blushing: it would just feel strange using one of those kiddies saws without a strop attached to it and hanging from my harness:laugh: Anyway better stop derailing this thread or we will get our wrists slapped:001_rolleyes:

i can eat its just your piece box is stuffed full of enough grub to feed a football team! My 460 rocks but i may get an 18" bar cos the 20" is obviously too manly for you:001_tt2:

Next time i am going to look where you go and work as close as i dare:001_rolleyes: I spent most of my day hanging a lot and clearing my brash off the track:sneaky2: Still got 12 tonne though:thumbup1:

Wow thats a cracking find:thumbup: Well spotted:thumbup1:

I heard its kinda like irn bru ginger beer but that was second hand gossip so cant say for sure...

I near wet my pants laughing:lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmxS2DreHcU&feature=player_embedded]Ooyah bu..... - YouTube[/ame]

haha thats evil but you are right it would be funny:001_rolleyes:

*picks up handbag ready to take a swing* I get the feeling you still dont get where i am coming from so i will try to explain once again.... Its not that i dont like pollards, i love the way trees react to the brutalisation (love that word too) that some humans inflict upon them and find it fantastic that they continue to survive the way they do. What i dont like is trees pollarded for no intelligent reason, like leaves making a mess and wanting a view etc, because as you well know this is a very temporary fix and then the problem is doubled within a year or 2. I like the natural form of a tree 100% over a pollarded tree, why? because thats the way nature intended. If a tree in a forest / woodland park or similar, naturally pollards itself then i like it because thats what nature intended. If you or monkey d or the likes go out to a woodland and pollard a tree to create habitat for nature (because humanity has taken away natural habitat in abundance) then i like it. If a tree is pollarded to use the new growth for something useful then i live with it without necessarily liking it (something like shooting a cow in the head so we can use its meat kind of idea). If street trees are pollarded and maintained then i think "why not just plant something smaller and save wasting money?". I think thats pretty much covered most of it plus i dont want to start ranting but you are welcome to quiz me some if you feel the need

ooh er missus thats a biggie right enough!

Dont you just love days like that:thumbup: All good advice but it wont be easy to get experience without, well... experience:001_huh: Just stick with it and you will get there eventually, be determined and enthusiastic about your goal and you will do fine:thumbup1:
