With the two extreme options given, I'd say so. But then "occasionally, when I feel it's helpful" is a tediously sensible option to give us. Truth is, I'm using two systems more and more when I'm pruning mature hardwoods etc. I don't faff with two seperate ropes. I've got eyes either end of my line and I carry a spare vt system on my harness. If I reach an awkward bit or feel like it would be helpful I'll bang a second system in and remove it once I no longer need it.

As you're so fond of pointing out, this is a false dichotomy.

Paying off Finance with bounce back loan?
Joe Newton replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
Just cos you couldn't do it. -
Only once is good going. I used to take lads for Gregg's in the morning and come lunchtime they'd tell me they needed a shop!
-
He's joined my ignore list, but when you quote him it comes up and i can't help but read it 🤣

Not slating them mate, it's the game they play now that everyone has a platform.
-
So basically "we'll replace the chipper if you stop telling everybody how terrible we are!" 🤣 Good result

Is he self taught or does he work with other people? Good to see he's learning modern techniques whilst being taught by a dinosaur!

Skyland Equipment have got a pretty comprehensive stock of parts. Good luck understanding any of them though.

Distance a Tree Can be safely growing to a house

That or its a totally fresh form of Internet f*ckwittery... -

So you've been on a few forums and been met with a similar reaction? That sounds like textbook troll behaviour. Have you given any thought as to what the common denominator is? -

You were asked earlier what your qualifications were regarding the subject. I'd be interested to know too. -
I'm not sure of your experience, but there are lots of occasions where the base of the tree in inaccessible for a friction device. Its far more predictable than natural crotch friction, and if you're rigging branches that are too light for the wrench then you should be holding them 🤣
-
There's also a massive difference between putting 3 cuts per tree into softwood, and ringing up bar length hardwood to man sized pieces to load into a transit. Which one do you think is harder in the saw.

Yeah I reckon so. It's kinda wasted on a 20" and pretty good on a 25". It might pull it but it would struggle. I think the oiler would have a job to keep up too
-
I mean, it depends if you want to be compliant with LOLER or not. If you're not fussed just keep it as is. If you are then there are plenty of options in the UK for wire core lanyards with snap hooks
-
Yeah from a LOLER/insurance point of view that snap will be no good. Won't have a CE mark either.
-
Outstanding!
-
There's no point, mate. It's like being in the special Olympics.
-
Pics please That is a really great idea. I'm really happy for you mate, you deserve it. Congrats on the engagement too I guess.
-
There's another option that I wasn't told about. The ignore list means I don't have to suffer short term fools. Remember Vesp or Hairychest?

If I were to get my feelings hurt by a person with a keyboard with next to no industry experience on a forum I'd have chucked in my username a decade before you decided to start offering your opinions. My Mrs bought be a mixed ale pack today. One was a "white chocolate stout". I'll admit i almost cried at that one. I'll thank you not to slander me with terms like that 🤣 I'm getting quite sure that you fancy me. You'll have to fight @Rich Rulefirst though.

This is a very funny post. You've summarised the arb demographic into 3 groups. Your credentials are this. You have a background in aviation, and you also have the Internet. You shouldn't be surprised if your opinion on tree workers gains less respect than your knowledge on self employment.
