  1. If the rope is staying in the tree it will be equally at risk wether it goes through a nibble proof anchor or not...
  2. Just leave a throwline or good length of 3 strand in to pull your line through the next day.
  3. Even the 395 has a max stated bar length of 28"
  4. I ziplined a squirrel out of a conifer today. No pics sadly.
  5. 17.50 for 1 x15g pack I keep one on my saddle with an Israeli bandage
  6. Save transport costs by burning on site. Always happy to help mate!
  7. I didn't think anything was worth a fortune to wood turners...
  8. They're growing like weeds over there! Good work, how you finding subbing instead of running a firm?
  9. That's my worry, it could be a£200 a month habit! At the moment I'm taking 80g tins of tuna infused with flavoured oils for lunch at £1 each.
  10. I was just doing the maths on how many £50 packs would see me through a month of lunches!
  11. I'd love to try venison jerky but it's a little deer...
  12. It might be the missing link that throws the SRT switch on for you!
  13. A pickup isn't a main arb vehicle. It's a good addition to the fleet though. Good for subbies too. And small jobs.
  14. Completely genuine Eggs. (I can see why you'd question it, given the amount of piss taking I do). I enjoy my job, most days, but sod working a 15 hour day. I reckon I'm more interested in arb than a lot of people in the industry, but I think that people who would rather be working than living their life need to rethink their priorities.
  15. Can't see how hiring big saws would work, with a new chain being over £35. Can't see that being cost effective.
  16. That's delivered and collected? Sounds good
  17. I'll remember that one next time I'm chipping tangled blackthorn.
  18. Yup. Word to the wise: combining the first and last gets you kicked out of your local.
  19. Funny, since you made that 357 of mine "really angry", the saw noise has gone up, but everything else seems quieter. Notably requests to hang washing out, or to not get wasted at dinner with her parents...
  20. Liked that. Proper tree work, none of this poncey 1.5m reduction crap.
  21. I would hope so! Could be surprised though. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my job, most days, but I also enjoy pub beer gardens, and my sofa, and internet porn.
  22. Seems strange to me mate. Have you no work/life balance? Out of interest how much did you make in your 15 hour day?
