  1. If i were in the business of making faggots I'd start with Bolam. I like an easy job.
  2. You're giving him too much credit. He just couldn't match his face cuts up, like 80% of the tree surgeons I've worked with.
  3. Don't start, get the AA involved and we'll all have to buy another climbing line again.
  4. Our you can save your money, buy a rental, and your tenants can not pay rent and cause thousands of damage before you go through the lengthy court process to evict them. If it goes well they've saved money, taken on risk, and after 25 years they reap some reward. Utter bastards. A few whingeing bitches on here.
  5. Great, I've now got a video of a spider on my phone.
  6. If no-one else can help you and if you can find them, maybe you can hire DART D.A.R.T. International UK – Disaster Arborist Response Team DARTINTERNATIONALUK.ORG

  8. You got a little rake for the quad mate? Should be fairly cheap to fabricate a tined rake you can grab with the klou Straight through the chipper, roots et all
  9. If you're going down the hire route I'd get yourself a CPA membership. They cover people in your position and help with protecting you against damage/negligence whilst hired out.
  10. Technically the sign says its 10 miles away
  11. Either I'm the only one here who watches porn, or this comment was severely underrated.
  12. Within this thread lies a pretty good argument for using your local retailer...
  13. How far are you willing to travel for one? There's one available near me for self hire but it'll be a fair way for you. Based in Warwickshire
  14. Couldn't ever get on with the popular reecoil lanyards, they get hooked around everything. The cheaper bungee ones do me fine.
  15. Hasn't been a problem so far. If you've stowed the saw by the side handle the exhaust points away from you and if you hang it by a carabiner through the attachment loop on the saw the exhaust points behind you. Fumes are no issue to me, they're much worse when you're in a conny hedge.
  16. Nothing wrong with leaving the saw running while high clipped imo
  17. It's not the end of the world to have s carabiner there to high clip with.
