  1. I watched a short documentary on Win Hof just the other night . Didn't know about his breathing techniques but came across it through cold therapy techniques and in my instance cold showering . I did this all last summer and felt great , no muscle soreness , quick recovery times , good for the brain etc Combine this with good diet and breathing techniques I reckon this would go a long way into feeling good again ...
  2. Wasn't Airstreams , must have been woodwalkers ..
  3. Same here Meindls were very comfortable but terribly cold feet in winter , never again ..
  4. The late Charlie Pinney was the guy that designed the hitch cart here in the UK , his was green and black to if i remember . Don't know if someone else took over the patent , sorry I can't be of more help than that ..
  5. I certainly wouldn't LAMBast you for that mate 😀 Seriously that's amazing work
  6. Scotland not having it's own dropdown on arbjobs is of no significance at all , just narrow it to UK and check regularly if your serious . Between this site and arbjobs you will definitely get jobs coming up regularly . I was 34 when I started in 2003 from Kilmarnock and still will outgun alot of the whippersnappers . Best of luck
  7. Been working next to a guy using this along with the HH . It's the best set up I've came across so far . Without doubt my next purchase when I can raise the cash
  8. Loads of space for a big mewp to , couple good guys in the basket cut and Chuck , no problem ..
  9. RADS is very slow and still takes a bit of effort despite the mechanical advantage . You lose all benefit of 1:1 srt in a rads ascent . The grigri is a super piece of kit don't get me wrong but only as a progress capture device and direct unobstructed descent tool .It's not designed for tree work , just my take on it ..
  10. I don't think the trees are necessarily under stress . During a typical crown care job we will typically as you say remove the heavy ball ( very heavy even ) and deadwood . It's very abundant in Austria especially heavy on the black hybrid pops and Acer . The trees are otherwise healthy . But I think a heavy infestation on an already stressed tree could see it's demise . The large bulbous callous which appears at the base of the mistletoe I'm not sure if this is the branch compartmentalizing it or whether it's a sugar source , I would be interested to know to . Easy to see why it's been a symbol of vitality , virility for a long long time ..
  11. Hey just make one thing quite clear hear , I DID NOT accuse anyone on here of being a retard , please read the post correctly ! We all use terminology sometimes in the heat of the moment and I apologised subsequently . The fact you say you are a country sports person what relevance is this to the OP's post ? As for your other rediculous conclusions , topics get debated on here sometimes quite aggressively , passions run high and things get said out of hand but should stop at the point of becoming personal . I have never once been cautioned by a moderator and that's the way I want it to stay . Have a good day ..
  12. Think the moderators should knock you out mate . The fact is putting wildlife through chippers and stumpgrinders is unacceptable from a professional point of view and doesn't make you more of a man .. What sort of example do you give out to members of the public reading this ?
  13. Sorry in this instance I'm referring to the cruelty and wrong to quote these people as retards . Maybe could have thought of something more appropriate but can't think of anything . As for people putting wildlife through chippers , well each to their own , who cares , go for it , high fives and all that ..
  14. Yes I do .. Don't eat pork unless it's wild jaeger schwine . It's hard but I'm trying to go 100 % self responsible in where all of my meat comes from .
  15. I stopped the removal of a willow few months back because there was a pigeon sitting on a nest . We came back and removed the tree a couple of months later . Anyone that says knock it down with young in it are just retards in my book ..
  16. You can always keep it for the zombie apocalypse
  17. Blizzard conditions coming back from dog sledding north west Austria .. Pretty awesome ! Sent from my HTC Desire 626G dual sim using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Привет Алекс! Прекрасная работа! Добро пожаловать в арбтолк!!ю
  19. I use one , not all the time , not when pruning with the silky . Especially useful when I know I'm gonna be quite a while up the tree with a saw ( even a 200 ) . Don't know if it's my body shape ( I carry a bit more weight I suppose ) but I got completely sick and tired with my harness slipping down my arse regardless how tight I seemed to have it . Only downside it takes a bit of adjustment to get perfect and it will slightly restrict you at full stretch/extension . But I recommend one if you have the same trouble as me or even if you don't like the weight of a saw on your harness
  20. I think the guy received a rather aggressive response to what was just a fleeting common sense statement . Everyone is not touchy just certain individuals..
  21. Hello , I'm 25 years old 6'2" , can run the 100m in 10 secs , bench press 300 lbs , and been with the special forces since leaving school . Is it too late to change careers ?
  22. I'm looking for a job in Australia . Could someone please google that for me thanks ..
