  1. Narrow access Spider leg mewp will get pretty much anywhere, and will be loads cheaper than leg looping the whole tree, also been said before and not answered why not get the ladders above your pollard point Or put a throw line nice and high above said point and spike from their? Only had leg loop one thing before and wouldn't want to do it again
  2. Have been called posh gypsies/murderer before by an irate neighbour ( who had no trees in her garden!) when we took a pine out in a garden!

  4. surprisingly their actuall arb approved.... Hahaha no yeah their gypos
  5. Special branch- not bad. The tree amigos ( yep actually still trading last I heard) in Leicester, and theirs a member of the travelling fraternity called lopping and topping. Guess what they do
  6. Haha Felix I was just about to say the same!
  7. Well said that man, be a very boring place if everybody saw things the same way, especially If your made to see them the way other people tell you too. On a lighter note are these bars any good ?
  8. At the end of the day, lotd of people have now been talking about their guide bars, if just a 3rd of said people now buy one just to try it they've made more sales than then they would of done, out dated ad or not. Also can we have some more stihl sponsored groundies please can't let the last on be one of those all orange things!
  9. Thanks mart, have you used them at all? Only when iv got a 66 on my harness sometimes it does slip a bit, are these any help/not too uncomfortable?
  10. Thanks chaps looks like it's going to be a cut and climb! Are they a bit fragile on the ground though?
  11. Good point, but could get 3 50 quid ones, if they last 2 years each I can't see a single cut and climb lasting 6 really
  12. It's obviously got a good review, just don't think I can afford that at 150 quid! Yeah that's pretty much what I do with regards to trousers
  13. Howdo, looking at getting some new waterproofs for climbing in as mine are about see through, need something that's not insulative or too sweaty as I over heat pretty rapid in waterproofs normally, any recommendations? been lookng at the stein evolution 2 as a chap at works got one and he swears by it, any other ideas? Thanks also needs to be pretty tough wearing, and lastly does anybody wear trousers over their saw trousers when climbinb?
  14. Get a tree motion mate, awesome harness and you can get shoulder straps for when you need to have large saws hanging off you. I second this, really individual too you can do whatever you want with it. One thing though mart where can you buy the shoulder straps from and are they made for he harness by tree motion?
  15. Thank very much will do this weekend
  16. Thanks for getting back to me, any type of wash? And is powder ok as well?
  17. Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum so I don't even know if you can see this properly. Firstly my climbing line at the minute just seems to be absolutely filthy at the minute and I was wondering if i can wash it in a washing machine without damaging/weakening it/ destroying my washing machine? Also my friction hitch and pads from harness could do with doing too. Lastly my hi flex trousers developed an interesting new ventilation pocket today at the cost my deceny and trying to keep my private parts, well, private. What's the best way to sew them up one massive patch along the crotch or a smaller one along the seem? Also again what's the best way to wash them without weakening them? Cheers
