  1. I had a zing it line lasted about 4yrs (used 2 or 3 times a week) and was great but eventually was more trouble than it was worth. Now got some thick blueish line that's fuckin hopeless as it won't allow a 26oz throw line to drop from more than 30' cos of friction, so I'm ordering new zing it Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  5. Look forward to seeing you on Judge Rinder Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. I had a serious run in with some hornets a couple of yrs ago, six stings and a 12' leap off the cord stack, not nice. Think I posted pics of nest on another hornet thread on here. Came back from a long w/end a month or so ago and the horn (as my granddaughter calls em) had taken up residence inside shed door so I had to eradicate (genuinely sadly as I quite like em) within another week there was another nest: Now also eradicated : When I squirted the wasp powder in there was an angry roar like a miniature v8 firing up and they all came out in even succession like fighters taking off from an aircraft carrier and fell about 30' away all within a yard or so of each other🙁
  7. That's excellent love the natural cammo Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  10. Young fella who's working for me, it's his first medium tree over 1 and a half times guide bar which had a back lean, so he used hi lift wedge for first time and fan cut for first time, thought he did really well Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. Im very envious of of all those big elms you get in Scotland I just seem to be getting rotten pops[emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Professional gardening IS hard work! My dad is a keen gardener and I learnt at an early age to disappear when there was bastard trenching and heavy weeding to be done. Different fitness for different jobs, I can fell trees and hump wood about all day every day in the woods week after week but more than a week of continuos climbing work and I start to feel proper fooked. Had a very fit friend (squash, marathons weights etc) come n help us for a couple of days just dragging brash and burning up, he was done in by 3 and couldn't believe we did it all day every day (we were takin it easy as well!). Why so harsh on the American? He's only talking about being prepared not bragging about being a hero. The US is a place with a vast area of remote places and you need to be prepared Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. That's a policy I like: fair and simple Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. That's a great piece jimzey, think the eye to nose distance is fine as it looks more pony like but the nostrils should be larger n less central Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Surely there are no SRTA s only SRTI s?

  20. Edit just read details of them appear genuine but too dear for me!
  21. Greys are my sole intended target, was told today ban unlikely now we're brexiting. A lot of the ones on fleabay are cheap copies with very weak springs and poor build quality, therefore using one could well be classed as inhumane and therefore illegal to use. The one I've been looking at are genuine Fenn traps, I can get 100 delivered for about half price
  22. Got a couple o bits of ash that sort of size I'm not that far away
  23. They are rather gorgeous😍
  24. Guy who subbed for me in Scotland's missus worked on the road gangs, had class2 hgv and chainsaw tickets!
