Worked with a climber using a 150T today, it's noticeably lighter and slightly quieter than the 200T. After seeing it i'll be going for a 150t

If you get a rear handle stihl 201, you can use it in the tree and on the ground.

Why should it be a joke. Ok meindl have been doing it for years, but why does that make them any better? I've spoke to many who wear them and they're the boots I'll be getting after the good feedback

I ask as I have not long got my tickets, however I have been doing groundwork for years on and off. I understand I won't be an experienced climber yet (I plan on climbing at weekends to hone my skills) but as a groundie with experience I was trying to ascertain if I could be called experienced. Also if I did set up what I would look for, time / ability
-
Interesting replies thanks. I see some like time, and some like ability.

Get yourself a leisure battery and speak to a caravan dealer regards the solar panels outputs. When were away, we have 6 fluorescents (foot long tubes) in the caravan on for about 5 hours a night. The battery lasts over a week without recharging. If I had a solar panel I wouldn't worry about charging again. Also if I changed the fitted fluorescents for LEDs that would help the battery last longer.

Used to take us 2 days to cross the bay. On the last trip back from the med, we were beam on for a week from the right turn out of the gib straight until we dropped anchor off English coast.

I have seen posts looking for groundies / climbers "with experience" I was wondering what you would level of experience you would consider a person experienced?

Did my course in September. The whole test was, rev and let go to check for chain creep, 3/4 rev to check for oil spray let go of throttle, apply brake rev to check brake holds and finally brake off, 3/4 rev and turn off with switch.

If the upper is ok you can get Lowas resoled for about £50 my mate had it done and they re gortexed the upper. They were like new.

If chainsaw rating not needed a set of high leg combat boots (HLCB) is what I would use. If its cold use, try and get some gortex high legs (I used them in the Baltic and my feet were toasty) or use a pair of thermal socks with the normal HLCB Mine have had all the stitch holes filled with polish and are dry above ankle deep. You can get them tight with the laces. I've used and abused mine for 6years and still have years of use left

The difference of employee / contractor was explained to me like this. Employed if to where to be, when to be there and how to do it. A sub contractor get told that's the job, and you deal with it
