lucky you I always get it wrong and end up feeling sad when it takes too long. Nice house in the photo too I bet the whole lot outbuildings etc all for 80k GBP? I

I was just thinking about this driving home - if their chipper had a tracker they could have had someone in hot persuit presumably possibly. Is there really a scanner device that thieves have to find a tracker so they can cut it out? Suppose there must be or it wouldnt have been mentioned before.

that is a very good point and the best reason to abandon my silly idea.

and also yourn, how cares about suicide rates? I don't anyway. The world is becoming overcrowded, and the countryside disappearing. You know it

oh come on, how can you say that? the mini machine gun could be under your jacket, so you wouldn't have to run back to the cab. Think how much tax payers money it would save if robbers were shot dead. How much do you think it costs to keep an armed robber in prison? Much easier to eliminate any chance of them re- offending

I used to weld and fabricate full time, but have had no need of a machine until last year - I needed a suspension bracket for my tipper Iveco and at the time completely ouf of stock in UK, ten day delivery, so I thought good excuse to get a machine (can put it on my tax return. Got a Parweld inverter stick and DC tig (I skimped and spent about 400, wish I'd doubled that and got the ACDC so I can tig ally if anything crops up. So next on the list is a mig for bodywork (I prefer stick for thicker steel its easier to do outside where terrible fumes arent an issue. Having considered Jasic Rtech, MIller, Esab, Portamig the lot I've currently possibly nearly got to the point of making a decision (this one goes down nice and low and works fine off a long extension lead) but it is also synergic (Jasic etc do synergic too) the GYS is currently winning because of the low amps (lower than other inverters I believe, checked specs carefully) and it takes a big spool https://www.weldingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/welding-equipment/mig-welders/gys-pearl-200-4-xl-compact-mig-welder.html my tig inverter is kept indoors, if I get a bodywork mig that will be too. An old transformer machine may survive the damp winter air of a shed, not so sure about inverters at least not after years and years (I ve already had a mower engine in storage seize up on me) should have put that in the lounge too

if you read my post again you will see I said if it was compulsory (a legal requirement for everyone to carry a pistol at all times)

If it was compulsory for everyone to carry a gun that scene could have been a good old fashioned wild west shootout. Threatening to kill someone to facilitate theft - anyone found guilty burn them alive and make the nation watch on the six o clock news

Dont tell him any more, the last thing established tree cutters need is yet another person out there doing it

this is what I do too - if you have climbed to your top anchor and cambium saver installed, it's getting dark so work stops (unless your working nights with lighting) so at the top you made sure the splice if you have one went through the small ring before the large ring, descend and use pile hitch and loads of half hitches to keep climbing rope straight on end of throwline, pull rope back through cambium saver using throwline and tie off the throwline. They are cheap I don't use the cube one for this just have one on a reel and tie both ends to the tree - if no kids it can be at base. Beware though by tieing the splice onto the throwline with pile hitch half hitches it can occaisionally be almost impossible to pull it back through in the morning. A more failsafe way is to remove the zigzag from the rope and use the non spliced end to attach the throwline - this also applies if rope is through a fork. Re your prusik troubles - you could spend your way out of it again and buy an Art Positioner swivel lanyard adjuster, about £100, but works fine in the wet if you have to be out there.

Maybe trig was rude, but i felt the same Eggs compromised the operation by ignoring rule 11. Surely no coincidence the listings removed. The Op thought this guy looks like hes punting stuff theived from the yards and vans of hard working colleagues. Who are you Peatt to say he cant influence anything. Good on you Jack. Rule 3 should be scrapped to increase ad revenue

I actually thought it was quite good - a bit risque, but bound to get a rise out of you. Im in the south too - and also with a tree job to finish 50mph winds today, maybe will be delayed. It doesn't matter if you jack it in or not. Matty is right lots do jack in. But either way you will have had a go at something that can be great fun. Don't get blown into next doors garden and damage any more of next doors chairs Mr Honey Climber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tevdukwqupg

yeah

very good - the tree equivalent would perhaps be a liquid ambar in autumn. PM scent

how big a tree? - I can't see how you'd get all the crown in without getting in the back to mash it up with a saw, or is that a given? any vids?

Glad to hear a positive comment on it. Beranek had all Stihl in his working climber DVDs, wonder if they sponsored him or hid choice. He had I think a 260 to climb with, vids shot before Mtronic. I bet that 362 is good to dismantle with

Im a novice too, even after having my gear for years, as still on hedges and mowing too. Today I thought Id pull my line out when it got dark and leave a throwline in the tree till tomorrow, fork too tight so now throwline and rope stuck. But i did practise tip tying large spindly tops, works a treat if there is a nearby stem to crane them out from. Probably chucking it down tomorrow. At least youre not reducing beech in the rain

just clocked this 362 on US ebay - they seem to think a narrow kerf chain makes the saw cut 40% faster - selling it marked up in price as a hotsaw , but no engine mods? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PILTZ-Stihl-MS362-Customised-CHAINSAW-24-inch-Cannon-/362476084794?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

Acacia, probably dealbata lets see the photo once you've topped the living life out of it

I had to look up Palookaville - Sid (William Forsythe), Russell (Vincent Gallo) and Jerry (Adam Trese) are three friends in New Jersey who are struggling for money. After deciding that crime is the answer to their problems, they plan a jewelry store theft -- only to mistakenly break into a bakery next door. The three men go straight, believing they are not suited to crime. As their financial woes continue, however, they eventually agree on what they feel is a flawless scheme to rob an armored car.

exactly

it was only going one way

My ZZ just stays on the rope - if its small trees it doesn't move far from the spliced eye.

A pulley for the doubled rope instead of a fork or cambium saver. Like Mick says a good triple ladder will have you up to maybe 25ft easy, not that little pensioners one on your trailer
