This is the resulting scarring from a Silky bite that kindly took ink out of my hand and coincidentally tore a flap up off my middle finger knuckle. The latter injury turned septic, very painful for a week or so and pretty gross squeezing puss from it. Daniel.

But if their performance at the MTV Movie Awards is anything to go by, it could end up being pretty weak. Hetfield's voice was seriously lacking. Daniel.

Depends what they play? No late stuff hopefully. Daniel.

Some really great advice from everyone on this thread. I was in similar position 18 months back. To echo what a lot of others have said, gaining experience whilst working for a profession outfit will rapidly speed up your progression. Best of luck, I've never looked back! Daniel.

Thinned out this Oak under guidance

Ha ha ha. 15 minutes at the end of the day and it was off!

Not when that lock is on the inside of our lock up!

That photo was from the inside of our lock up of the only exit for our choppers. There's an exterior door that locks from the outside.

The phrase strong in arm... springs to mind

We'll definitely be double checking when he hitches up the chipper.

If you look at the photo again you can see that's it wedged in, it must have took some effort to force it into that position. Just cutting the lock wasn't enough it had to be hammered out!

Ha! Well and truly! Daniel

So as we're finishing up for the day we asked our new apprentice to lock up and this is the result. Daniel.

Of course it's not Special Forces but they're are the best of the best of the best. That said we still work in an incredibly physically demanding industry. Daniel.

Beautiful work! Daniel.

As fit as you can make yourself? This work is very intense on your body so you need to condition your body as such. Daniel.

A Western Red Cedar that had snapped out at about 4 metres above the ground and landed on a neighbours garage. Daniel.

A wind-blown Spruce that was leaning precariously towards a residential home. The Trifor cable was attached midway as a safety measure and I climbed and dismantled in small manageable pieces due to a tricky drop zone. Daniel.

Very admirable. I do like the photo where he's wrapped 2 piles of brash up in sheets like dead bodies! Daniel.

A fallen Eucalyptus in Budleigh Salterton from yesterday that had managed to land itself on three fences and two sheds.

I have limited knowledge on the subject as I am very new to SRT, but I would say that getting yourself a Rope Wrench and stiff tether and using these in conjunction with your VT would be the best way to go as it's the cheaper option and obviously you're already familiar with the VT setup. As to the advantages and disadvantages that's a debate I don't want to wade into but for anyone starting out in SRT using it as an access route is a faster and more efficient method than DRT. I've only worked off SRTWP once so I'm no authority on the subject but obviously the reduced friction when redirecting through naturally crotches is a definite plus point. Really though you need to read some of the more popular threads as there's everything you need to know on them. Daniel.

I'm really enjoying this thread! I'm 26 and started out in tree work 2 years ago, I find I have an ever present sense of mortality and find all this talk of "old boys still climbing" very inspirational! Truly motivating stuff guys! Daniel.

Great stuff. Me and Paul are in talks about going out next weekend. Daniel.
