I have cut a large one down to ground level before with a chainsaw. Yes the chain will go blunt so use an old chain and make sure you clean it out afterwards but it'll do it. I dug the rest of it out with a spade, not as hard as it looks! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

No it was a photo my ex missus sent me before she ran off with a computer software salesman with OCD who works from home. Maybe business management, perils of starting an new tree business and never being at home and when there leaving mud and sawdust on the carpet! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'll bring my pair of sips that are lovely and light and comfy but have split the zip and crotch stitching after less than a year of not even wearing them everyday and you can swap them for a new pair[emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

This as long as you have well seasoned logs firefighters are so much better. Unless you have plenty of space and a child to split your kindling! My boy is six now and he will be getting a hatchet for his next birthday! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Suffered badly from hay fever from an early age into my early thirties but in the last couple of years I've been a bit better and this year so far I've had no symptoms at all! Though there doesn't seem to be a lot of grass pollen around yet. It's strange but it does seem to have just got better by its self. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'm 36, been climbing on and off since I was 18 but been climbing nearly every day now for the last 9 years. Had a few times when I have thought I wasn't good enough and wanted to give up and go back to farm work but pushed through and feel that now I'm at my best and getting better. Go for it! when you are enjoying it it's easy, when ur not just be like me grit your teeth and don't give up. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Pruning out a natural brace in a tree may be unwise....

It does move yes but it may limit the movement slightly. But removing the rubbing branches can stop the ribbing branch getting worse and start to strengthen with a bit of woeght reduction should be finr Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -

Will Heal replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
I was thinking about this the last week whilst pruning a beech tree. If I had taken out all of the rubbing branches it would have thinned the tree by nearly 50%. So I left the larger two rubbing stems and pruned out the worst of the rest. The customer had complained that the tree creaked a lot so hopefully this should help, or maybe I should have just oiled each crosser! TBH I didn't think about the fact that the ones I did remove could be natural braces, but most were long branches rubbing further out. If I do remove a branch that has been rubbing I try to remove some weight from the one that I leave. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
My landlord put in a wood burner for me today, bit late as I've been frrreeezzizing since Jan, but better late than never! It's a 5 kw stove made by dean stoves, I have never heard of them but they are made in Devon so can't be bad! Don't know how much it cost or how it will burn but it seems ok If anyone Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Don't your forearms ache? When I went back to a prussik after using a zig zag mine ached like mad, now I'm back on the zig they are fine again? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I had one! Bought it on eBay couple years ago just because it was local, you are right, very little vibration but the power to weight ratio is not great. Gave it to my dad last Xmas, but have come home this weekend so I'll take some pictures of it tomorrow and post them. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Sorry for the detail, but I climbed on that the other day when I'd left my good rope and zig zag at home after washing it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
