Hi Blackbomber , Doing your cs30/31 would be a good start, very basic but well worth it. Having worked with hand tools all your days i dont think you will find it a difficult course. You could do alot worse than advertise your services on here You could also do a bit of ' wood vulturing ' and get cutting up some firewood to get you using a saw on a regular basis .

I believe i have as much right to use the LA's chipper as they do , now that were competing for the same work ? Level playing field , right ? Ran out of time today but I'm definetely going in next week to find out .

Sam , the concern is that they are not stopping every 5 mins for coffee breaks etc . We could be talking about motivated , well equiped , highly trained teams with the backing to wipe the floor with private firms in an unbalanced playing field. I dont go along with the idea they are all lazy and they'll mess up .

I use it as part of a 13mm 1.6m split tale onto main line of same diameter . ' bights ' very tightly so smaller dia would be no use . Was concerned with how it was releasing under load when my main climbing line got soaked in a heavy shower. Care needed tying it when fatigued. Really trustworthy knot though with virtually no redressing.

Its a matter of weighing up the risk of cutting your soft link ( which if too long as i have stated before can be in a very vulnerable position ) or having a more difficult rescue if directly attached . These soft links MUST be kept very, very short or your completely defeating the purpose of a wire core flip line . I think this should be the climbers choice .

Your not Pamela Andersons gynaecologist are you ? :lol:

Hope this is not a wind up cos I'm going to knock on their door tomorrow What frustrates me is i see it bloody parked up all the time at their yard while i dump my emmm help a friend get rid of his arisings
-
That is quite odd then, they may have had a bad experience in the past and its just protocol now .
-
Its got nothing to do with the amount of employees one has . Standard procedure for big companies in risk type business.
-
Its for Alligators though !!

I see our LA boys towing a nice new timberwolf chipper about that I've help fund and badly need for my own business . Now that were all one team should i now get access to this machine or get some sort of tax rebate?
-
If your thinking of a petition , my name will be there.
-
Yeah and puts dedicated , work conscious tree boys who have invested thousands on training and uquipment out the game... shamefull
-
I'm appaulled by this , its morally wrong on every level .
-
I would build it with a little apex thingymijig , atrium ? at the front before you get into the main tent , get the muddy boots off first and would mean you could cook in it aswell
-
Maybe worth trying to get some pics of the weeds just in case.
-
When the main climbing line is wet i would imagine that this knot would be easier to release under load than a blakes for instance that would bight the main line too tightly under load and release too quickly.
-
Yeah it was stubby , shame because it felt a really nice well balanced saw with the 18" on it . Hopefully stihl can get a proper repair on it eventually .
-
Me and the wife are off somewhere soon hopefully, only thing i know for certain is it wont be Australia
-
Hope so rob, 2 weeks ago i watched my mates new 261 explode in his hand . Poor showing from stihl
-
Just be careful here swinny , i didnt think mines would see much use but i use it all the time .
