Are you qualified to write up a lift plan? I'd be cautious, anything goes wrong and your insurance will try hard to find a reason not to pay out -

It's not rude, he's trying his luck is all. How much do you want the work?

Bullmans rule of thumb about people posting from behind a pseudonym and their credibility seems pretty reliable.

He's saying the 3 knot system isn't suitable with your rope. Rope for tree climbing should be 11-13mm. It tends to be way more static than the fall arrest line you'll be using too.

Yes please.

Lad I occasionally sub to has had one for a couple of years. That whole ash went through that chipper 🙄

If you are looking for a shirt that gives you an extra portion of energy while working, training or even competing, the fresh swell long shirt is the right choice Finally I can stop taking cocaine at work!

I feel that anyone not using a file guide is missing a trick. I don't get why more people don't use them

I am really bloody smart to be fair.

For me I don't really see the point of srt on dismantles, apart from access perhaps. The beauty of srt for me is easy ascent without spikes and easier work positioning through redirects. Dismantling the majority of trees is easier on ddrt.

So if I order another one within the affected serial number I wonder if I'll be able to get that exchanged when they bring out a revised edition?

Never in eleven years have I seen or done this. How do you clean your filters?

Useful input, as always.

Cheers mate, I reckon I've got at least 2 within that criteria that I've worn out. I've just bought a thicker line from Honeys to get a bit more life out of my current one. Will be nice to get a new one considering my last one did 7 months before it started dropping me.

Not a new one

I would have definitely hired a loader though, for sure.

Each to their own, he's a decent bloke with a beginner set up, only been going a year or two. I'm sure the bigger toys will arrive but until then you piss with the cock you have. Plus I got 3 days work out of it rather than 1

No mate, his groundy is a better man than you. I'd have walked off I had to chip that! For me it meant that a tree the should have been rigged out and felled in a day took almost two and a half days for 3. I was waiting an awful long time between each rig.

How thoughtful of you. Tbf I don't think I've carried out more than 5 logs throughout the job 🤣
-
Lots of lovely access for a skid steer or loader too 😁
-
Big ash to take down, chipped through a gravity fed chipper and handball out the garden the old fashioned way. 🤣
