  1. If you ever get the chance to work with tim and brad from hamilton asplundh tell them hey from jesse in germany and if your travels take you to tauranga ill have a few contacts work wise if ya need them mate.
  2. wait till you have a go at the eucs mate , they get nice and large. Its good to hear , makes me miss home a bit , good luck
  3. this may be common knowledge to all which I'm sure may possibly be the case but some products are made in the states and some in germany you can tell by the serial number if it has a one as the first number on the sticker its made in germany and if it has a two its the states. ....... again may be stating the obvious
  4. yet another vid i cant view, bummer , sounds like a good one
  5. try clopyralid thats very selective for your daisy and clovers possibly dock aswell and will not hurt alot of dicots except legumes (nitrogen fixing) , if you use Grazon be very careful with the dosage as it can kill grass also http://www.dowagro.com/nz/prod/versatill.htm
  6. i'm from nz so I've only used a's ,c's are no doubt safer but i heat up something wicked and cant imagine climbing summers in nz or germany with c's, saying that i may have to. but back to the trousers I've looked around a bit and price seems good. I just seem to remember a few threads about the hiflex falling apart so am wondering if these are any different
  7. not so much requirements ,as emphasis on class c protection
  8. good to hear, i know that there are certian requirements here in germany for ppe does anyone know if they are the same as the uk?

  17. hey guys i am leaving nz to go do a bit of work in germany. my boss purchased a tree motion for me just over a year ago and i cant bear to part ways with it. I am going to ask him if i can buy it off him when i leave and have a price in mind but id like to hear from fellow arborists as to what price you guys would consider to be reasonable.
  18. Protos Integral Arborist Helmet by Pfanner | Treegear Arborist Supplies check out the price on it.......... i wear a stein/ kask and have found it to be very good. bit out of balance when heavy peltors are up on helmet but great when on ears

I have been climbing for going on two years and i am interested to know if anyone can point me in the right direction ? . i have a good knowledge of arb and a british passport. ...... any help would be appreciated ... cheers
  23. interesting. i had a freakout when i first started climbing when i had to section down a norfolk pine , i think alot had to do with the scenario before hand because i did one exact;y the same on the same section the week previous. before i started doing my freakout pine i had to rescue a cat from the very most apical tip of a large cypress aprox 25 meters, at that stage that was the highest i had climbed it was also climbing above my roping point and flip lining into a section slightly smaller then my forearm. It took me about fifteen min from that point to get this kitty cat and by then my nerves were shot but i was stoked i got it and felt a huge feeling of acomplishment . then came the norfolk pne straight after that and i had been pushed well out of my comfort zone .ad i freaked out and knew if i didnt come down i would start to panic. that feeling of not acomplishing something was pivotal in my attiude to climbing . i think that height is a factor in which people start to second guess everything .... roping point... gear etc . If you have done your checks you should be fine . I think everyone has a fear of being up high. climbers are the people who can push past that fear(wether it extreme or slight) and carry on to do the job. i think on monday its going to be another situation where second guessing is going to be an issue good to see that its a normal thing cheers guys
  24. haha well put Taupotreeman .Plenty of these bad boys in NZ
