I use the Gladiator Ventilation Type A's. Excellent trouser, has the rip stop fabric down the front, different to the one you are talking about but similar. The saw still digs in, but the damage is less because of the fabric.

I have Prabos boots with a foot loop from 4SRT for my HAAS. Haven't noticed a problem when branch walking, (to be honest I hadn't even thought of that) and so far no problems with eyelets bending.

The best option for that sort of money might be a Ford Ranger or Mazda B2500.

I use that quite often when returning back from a point where I would be taking a massive swing to get back in. Works well for that. I'm no expert but for me it just adds loads of friction into the system, which hinders movement, especially when branch walking, and is the whole reason why we use SRT, to get away from that. I would always pass my line through a natural redirect before doing this if the situation allowed. Having said that, returning to the main spar as I previously said, and maybe dropping down to the ground where too many redirects would hinder line retrieval, then yeah, this is good.

You guys have probably seen it before. If not, enjoy.

'My neighbour cut down my tree. Can I sue for damages?'
Al Mondz replied to Lucan's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Sounds like trespass and criminal damage to me. I would throw the book at them. -
I might be wrong but I think that 2 year old trees are generally potted, at a year they could be bare root.
-
If your planting whips it will be a lot quicker than digging holes for potted trees. Be sure they are whips though. Would you be doing tubes, stakes and ties too ?
-
So so true.
-
No, just no.

Good video. That Ash looked huge, must of been a fun climb ? Out of interest, could you have got a crane into that open space near the tree ? I bet that would of been a cracking crane dismantle if that was an option.

I have one and run a 24inch bar on it. Fantastic saw, although if I had to buy a new saw of its size I would probably go Husqvarna 390.
-
I fitted one with the help of a friend. We got building control to certify it. It cost about £250 for building control.

That thing is off the chain ! -
Yeah I wish stuff like this was possible in the UK.

Your first aid kit should be appropriate to the amount of people and the location your working in. For example if your clearing power lines several miles from a road, then having your own spinal board and collar is a must, compared to a domestic situation where you shouldn't need something like that. Personally I carry an Israeli bandage, CAT and Celox in my pocket at all times. In my truck is a larger box with more of the above with the addition of tough cut shears, space blanket and some smaller non essential items like plasters and steri strips. As has been pointed out all the equipment in the world is useless with knowing how to use it and a good emergency plan in place. I work in conjunction with Treekit and Galahad Associates to provided Arb specific first aid training. I'm probably biased but for me it's the industry's leading course, and an essential course that everyone should do. I've provided a link to the course website. http://www.treekit.com/blog/events/first-aid-for-treeworkers/

Al Mondz replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
Thanks Jon. Like all other Patterdales he's a complete ****. A lovable rouge is how I describe him. -

I've got a Patterdale myself. I do like Borders though, maybe one day. -
Not sure, but would Magnolia regen from a stump ? I don't think so, so poison would be a waste of time. Also in time the stump and roots will rot away surely. So the same problem would happen, all be it at a slower rate.

I would quite like to be a blacksmith working in an old school forge. If I could go back in time then steeple jacking, Fred Dibnah style.

Climbing at 57. Fair play to you sir !

Mind blown ! 😂

What about an EGR blanking kit ? I think you can do that on a 200. I know you can on a 300. Not sure how much extra performance you would gain from that.
