Agreed. Pointless listing a species as endangered and not protecting them. There must be some reason.

Thanks for your reply. I can say for sure that a crane won't be happening, but moving the log sounds like the better option. I'll get in touch with the BKA when I go to inspect it.

Cheers for your answers lads. I've kept bees before in a previous job but we're going back over a decade. If it was a swarm it would be somewhat easier, I remember how to move them. Just wondering how I might relocate them should the tree need to come down. I'd prefer not to fell a stem full of bees if I can avoid it. When I come to look at the tree I'll get in touch with the local BKA to see if they can help.

I've been asked by a company I contract to to help out with inspecting a large oak. The tree is in proximity to houses and has multiple decay pockets, one of which is home to bees. To ascertain the depth of decay could mean disturbing them. Anyone know the law regarding this, and if the tree needs removing how to go about relocating them?

I want a refund for the 3 saws that you apparently haven't ported for me.
-
I've asked you for the facts, and you don't seem able/willing to explain them to me.
-
🤣🤣 kindly explain how I'm bullying anyone?
-
Don't think anyone feels threatened except perhaps you? Criticising the work of somebody with a reputation like Steve isn't the the behavior of a secure person.
-
Do you care to expand further? Evasive answers aren't really helping your cause.
-
@frammo I don't think anyone will mind a further derail for you to back up what you're saying. So far all you've claimed is that Spud doesn't "port" saws, so please explain in your opinion what exactly constitutes a "ported" saw. Otherwise all you've done is exactly what this thread is about.

I was just having a little dig at Mick 🤣 Unfortunately he's choosing not to dignify me with an answer
-
But then you had some very argumentative characters. Le Sanglier and Mountain Man to name a couple!!

You're pretty confident

Funniest comment I've read in a while.

I think the best chance of that happening would be for yourself and a select few to remove yourself from the forum.
-
Because that would be the behaviour of a secure, rational person. Not that of a serial Internet troll.

More people from non arb related backgrounds than any of those grouped together!

The Chinese are really popular recently.

Not when you're bombing limbs off, but if you're doing that you probably don't need a triangulated system. I'm talking about using it for tippy reductions/deadwoods, where if you drop something into your line it's no big deal
-
I've misjudged it a few times and had to get the ladders up, or drop the last metre or so. I don't bother with a stopper. Occasionally a well meaning groundy will tie one for me when I'm climbing 🙄
-
I don't know about the old days, but from what I understand of the new regs, only one of the systems has to be able to get you down, so if you were working with two lines, or a main line and a backup, only one would have to be long enough to get you down. I could be wrong though, I'm sure Paddy numbers will tell me you.
-
It's got too work for me. Carrying a second line around is impractical and frankly, completely gay. The option is always there for me if I need it, but doesn't get in the way when I'm not using it. Takes less than a minute to pop a second system in.
-
No, only one system needs to be able to reach the floor. By unclipping the tail I'm back to my main system and able to get down
-
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.
