You must have read more posts than me I thought he Just got a website redone so people phone him to deal with woody plants. As for the crim - i almost did a spell for nicking pound coins, but boss didnt report it - evil surrounds us Eggs is like a tyre fitter on the chefs forums, telling them to charge more than the kitchen porters, ok if the restaurant has a Michelin star

I would ask about his thoughts on the environmental impact of population growth

BigtreeDon and Rough Hewn have both posted pics of chainsaw powerheads kept in their homes. I sometimes use my hallway. Wish I had a bigger place - a downstairs spare room would be great for secure storage

the neatness of cut doesn't matter - as long as they got paid and nothing damaged bet quite a few multi-trade have been injured/killed felling leaners here's one example - https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/face/pdfs/12mi033.pdf

the throw hook - is it any better than others - available to buy?

so someone came up with a tether using two magnets, looking at the review it's been out before my post on the idea, so I haven't had a new idea :c https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=21&item=17226#detail

at about 10 minutes in the linked vid another type of throwhook being used, possibly stays on the branch more often than your one https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/112263-taz-lov-2/

laughing all the time?

Don't know what it weighed but don't reckon it was anywhere near 2 ton! 26'' x 8' 6'' larch felled 3 years ago, anyone care to guess? under a ton, sorry not a guess in the truest sense of the word http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/calculators/calc.pl

Swearing sometimes makes writing more exciting and fun, gives it a down to earth feel

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known

found this up against a fence, hiding round the back of what I thought was a healthy oak

it would have to be sex related

thanks for all the advice guys - much appreciated. I've ordered the series 2 DVD anyway - bound to come in handy on the back door birch

wow thanks - exactly the sort of advanced stuff I was asking about - I just knew there would be secret methods, will have to part with some cash for the DVDs. I don't expect all this fuss will save more than 10 mins as opposed to branch walking - but I like the bravado of it all. Will Heals tale of the barbers chair is food for thought - sure can be a dangerous game. Can't help thinking about Terry from TH trees - all the dangerous stuff in his work and he died in a crash in his BMW. It's not enough to be safe in the trees - everything in life has to be made safe. Anyone who makes it to retirement age is very lucky indeed.

And two trips on to Salisbury, they would have liked to get there earlier on Sunday i guess, but Sunday train times. No time for the Raymond Revue Bar or whatever its called now

Yes it had it's place, but many variables and no one wants to see anyone hurt! Film it though, it may make the famous tree felling fails compilations! Ha Ha - I'm not trying to be a daredevil, just wondering how the pros go about it. Surprised a bore cut doesnt feature at all - maybe technically difficult to do properly when suspended from above - or the forces involved are too graet for a holding strap at the top to keep the branch up. Mick's flush with the trunk tear cut seems to offer the limb the least chance to split. On the day I will be nibbling off 3ft pieces and enjoying the revving noises

Didnt have a particular limb in mind, just wondered what tecniques people used for freefall cuts where there is space to drop it, lopping it in one does seem risky but fun, maybe theres a secret way that no one will tell

I'm only a gardener doing a few trees at the mo - not been invited out to destroy the nations treasures -12" is a massive limb to me. So, as you are another one saying just walk out and piece it down, that's probably what I'll do to start with. Interesting link above to another thread mentioning the Coos Bay and triangle cuts, will have to buy the G.F Berananek pdf - zero to hero for £20

nuts - like whacking your fingers with a rubber mallet to take your mind off having stubbed your toe

Be cheaper to just pay a good climber (even fly them in from anywhere) then bonfire on the lawn and returf a square

it's worth walking off the footpaths in woods, otherwise you risk dogwalkers trying to be witty 'you're not going to hang yourself are you?' etc

It will be great if Sweden tighten up, but Spain and Greece are the ones I'd like to see get more sensible - more money spent on policing the seas, tracking vessels leaving Libya and surrounding, when they enter forbidden zone tow them right back From Migration Watch UK Why is the current level of immigration a problem? 8. High net migration has resulted in rapid population growth. The UK population currently stands at 65.6 million. The Office of National Statistics ‘high’ migration scenario projects that the UK population will now increase by almost 400,000 a year for the next 25 years - the population of Bristol currently stands at 430,000. This is unsustainable and in the long term would lead to growth of almost 10 million over the next 25 years. The ONS state that around 82% of this increase will be down to future migrants and their children. The remaining population growth will come from the UK’s existing population, including births to immigrants already here. This one sentence from the website is enough reason to not vote Labour - 'Under the last Labour government (1997-2010) an extra 3.6 million foreign migrants arrived, while one million British citizens left. ' And the depressing thing is the Conservatives haven't sorted it either - 6. The coalition government elected in 2010 pledged to reduce net migration to the ‘tens of thousands’. However, despite some reduction in migration from outside the European Union, overall net migration rose to a third of a million. This is largely because net migration from the EU doubled over the last Parliament due to the ongoing disparity in wealth between Eastern Europe and the UK together with the Eurozone crisis affecting Southern Europe. (See here) This no doubt played an important role in the decision taken by the British people to leave the European Union. 7. Under the current Conservative government net migration now stands at an estimated 230,000 for the year ending June 2017 JRM could get a crack team of surgeons mobilized out in the community

it won't matter to the public, but spikes on your crown thinning pic? Maybe the hard science will say there's no biological problem with it either - or are they chaps straps ha ha

Wicked thanks Bill, rather learn vicariously through your fun! Mick you mean just do a top cut right near the trunk outside the swollen collar and let the tips hit the deck, does it tear off down the trunk or do you have to release it once the tips are on the ground? Arb yes i know they are ace trainers wrote the hse rigging research etc, still money i could spend on a death trap 661
