Not sure on timber size guess it depends what's available to cut? Have been looking at the following. Will this be a good start? Alaskan Mill Mini Mill | F R Jones and Son Alaskan Mill Mk III + 36" handle and rail set | F R Jones and Son Alaskan Mill 9ft EZ first cut rail system | F R Jones and Son And using a ms660

Cheers I have been looking at that site. Il keep reading. There is a huge amount of info on here it gets a bit mind boggling at times

Hi everyone. Just after some advice on a starter set up to do some milling. A friend of mine owns a farm and quite often has some vary mature oaks come over in the wind and up until now I have just been logging it all up for the farm cottages. So here's the question. What's the best saw and bar length? Also what milling equipment do I need to get stared? I'm looking at a portable system! I was looking on Frjones but ended up confusing myself. Cheers Guys

There is an issue with playing back un rendered Hd gopro footage on older pc's. They look jumpy and glitchy but it's only the PC not buffering the file fast enough. When you edit them down to an AVI or MPEG etc they are fine

Gopro have a free editing software on there website that let's you do all the things you need to. It works fairly well and pretty simple to use! Plus it's free

Hi guys, haven't worked in the Arb field for a few years as had a lot of work come up in my other field and couldn't commit to Arb and Sound at the same time. I'm looking at getting back into Arb maybe as a second climber as I haven't done any tree surgery for about two years. I have my CS 30, 31, 38, 39 and a lantra chipper ticket. Looking for two or three days a week. If anyone is looking for any crew please PM me. I have all my own climbing gear / PPE and a 200t and a 391. Cheers guys Hopefully hear from someone soon Dave 29 Chelmsford

i use a petzle sequoia and its great only thing is i find it gets very uncomfortable when you load it up with tools! could always say you would pay the differance and get a tree motion! after trying one out thats the next item on my list! but as everyone else says your the one sitting in it all day so its your call! have to say tho build quaility is brill on the sequoia

Managed to get out an have a play with the o-rig system today! Have to say i didnt get up high only small 30ft pine in my garden but enough to get the gist of it! after a bit of playing around an a bit of experimenting with different pulleys and friction hitches etc i have to say i really liked it! Gonna go for a recy climb friday with a pal an see how i get on! feels good on first attempt tho!!!

I can imagine! Thankfully I'v not had to deal with a femoral bleed before and hopefully never will! P.S didn't mean to change subject matter.

Congratulations on the birth of your son i know what a wonderful moment that is. I myself nearly lost both my son and my ex during labour an i know how horrible that is! Im glad you have your wife an your son an hope you have a lifetime of happiness together! Thankyou for sharing! Just think if you can loose 4 pints in 2mins from giving birth just imagine what could happen if you took a hit to a femoral artery??

My bad dumb moment! Baby was screaming at me at the time! Cheers guys

Not seen this system before. Have hitch climber have to give this a go looks like it makes ascending far easier! Would a prussic do the job or would it be too long???
-
I was also looking at these as honey bros sell them. Do you just drill a whole in the center of the stump and bang one plug in or do you need multiple plugs for it to be effective??

Cheers guys! Hopefully hook up with Albere for a climb soon

Hi Albere thanks for the reply. Im in chelmsford. Dont really knoow much about the SRT method just looks like something i fancy having a go at. Any excuse for a laugh an a climb. Be interesting to see some different techniques as its the arb show in a couple of weeks and will give me some ideas on stuff to look out for.

Hi guys. Been watching some interesting videos in youtube with guys using SRT. Have never climbed using SRT and dont have any ascenders. Is anyone in the Essex area and uses SRT fancy hooking up for a recce climb and demonstrating the wonders of SRT? I fancy having a go but dont fancy wasting £100 on ascenders?? Shout you a couple of beers after the climb! Cheers guys have a good week!
-
Yeah its the green stuff mate! £30 something plus vat for 5 ltrs depends where you get it! not that much difference in price! I really rate it! my 200t used to be really smokey on the red stuff now using the hp super stuff an its brilliant!
-
Ditto, I switched to HP Ultra as my blower has a 4 mix engine and its brilliant. I now use it in everything and it all runs sweet and much less smoke out the exhaust.

I'm defiantly coming round to your trail of thought! Can completely understand what your saying! Why work your ass off for no profit when you can go out get a decent client right job right money an then have some money to save an re-invest back into the company at a latter date!

Too true too true! thanks Andy
