  1. I think I went on the emergency call out on that job
  2. Please try again, I've cleared it out a little
  3. If you're referring to those little nicks adjacent to the bottom cut of the face then that was purely as a guide for my backcut, they were only very shallow little cuts, just a kiss with a saw
  4. That is correct Joe, big lump of Lime to pull over with no anchor points for winches etc...
  5. I thought the photo looked that way, no fibres seemed to pull through but there was a healthy few inches 😉
  6. BMX is mine, not that I ride half as much as I should or used to.
  7. Thanks Taupo. I did think that may be a viable option
  8. Thank you for your response Robert. Oh, that sucks. I was hoping that a removal wouldn't be necessary. They're good friends and I really don't want to cost them any money, besides they like the tree. I know it's only a Pitto to us but it's a tree they like in they're front garden to them. I noticed the link is from New Zealand, would it still apply to the UK??? Daniel.
  9. I reduced this Pittosporum for a friend around 14 months ago. They've recently noticed this on the base. Is it cause for concern? There is also a little bit of sporadic die back in places within the crown. Thank you for any help. Daniel.
  10. 'Mic dropped' made me chuckle. Very dramatic James 👍🏻 Daniel
  11. It sounds fairly typical. I worked on the rail for around 6 months in the beginning of my career and have to say that sounds about right. I'm sure we will be corrected shortly though Daniel.
  12. No, not at all. That sounds right to me. I was just being inquisitive 👍🏻 Daniel
  13. Nice. You've taken the guts out? Clean, straight stem? Daniel.
  14. Another one I'm not trying to flood the thread but I've felled a couple bigger stems recently and been happy enough with the cuts to risk posting the photos. Daniel.
  15. I couldn't of gotten the back cut in if I'd gone any lower. That fence was closer then it looks in the photo
  16. I have a friend who is overseas at the moment but returning home to Kent soon. He'd like to begin to train to be an Arborist. Can anybody recommend and training providers locally? Thanks in advance. Daniel.
  17. Just ordered one, I liked the look of the CAMP Turbo too but maybe that seemed a little too expensive/over complicated?
  18. What foot ascender's are people rating? I'm fairly new to SRT and I've been using a Pantin for the last 4 months and the spring has imploded, is this just another example of poor Petzl build quality?
  19. Anybody recommend a good book for Australian tree identification?
  20. Can anybody recommend a book for I.D in Oz?
  21. Excuse me if this sounds dumb but I've been climbing with a Rope Wrench for a little while though and have a question. Where possible I like to use a lower-able base anchor due to the obvious safety advantage but mainly I like being able to decide how much rope trails behind me. On some situations I've been using a butterfly attached to a crab & pinto as a retrievable top anchor, my question is this, in that configuration is there another way to 'set the tail' other than pull enough over the crotch before tying the midline knot? I only ask because I see that causing problems in retrieval. Cheers guys. Daniel.
  22. To pull down a retrievable top anchor?
