Hi Just started using SRT for access mainly. Had a cheap throw line in bag for ages but mostly used it for putting pull lines into trees. Now have big shot and cube, but am wondering how much difference an expensive (throw) line will make. Also would it be prudent to keep a spare one in case one gets stuck etc and finally is it worth getting a range of different weight bags. what are the whys and wherefores of using the different types. Used a foot and knee ascender this weekend. Couldn't believe it. Easier than walking up a ladder:001_smile: Thanks

I've got a treeflex and have thought about getting the top parts which in effect turn it into a full body harness suitable for MEWP, but they want nearly £100. I use a simple strimmer shoulder belt to short clip the saw to with the end of the lanyard connected to harness as failsafe or if I want to let it hang. Otherwise its pulling my harness down especially when climbing through stuff. Probably don't help now my waist to hip ratio is not what it was.

Orange plant in Cannock. Not too far

Try putting some spray marker dye in the spray tank and use a low drift nozzle. Doesn't sound like you have any herbaceous stuff in there. Do not use Tordon as it wont kill grass but will damage the shrubs.

How long did it take in total...? Did you do it all without spikes..? Thanks

Neighbours gardener using my woodland as a dump
NickinMids replied to Hamburglar's topic in General chat
Just ask them to shift it first. Maybe they don't think they've done anything wrong. Some people think dumping green waste is ok as they consider it bio degradable. Talk to them and explain you don't want it on your land. If they tell you to get stuffed then move on to the counter measures -
This !!

Thanks all....think I'll climb and chog down. Stuff the lawn we can sort a few dents after

Question to the tree inspector types... See pics below of Lombardy poplar..middle of base is rotted out but two thirds of the circumference of outer wood seems sound...and if it didn't come down in the winds yesterday...Im in Birmingham....interested in what people think

Of the few jobs I've done I found re pollards to be the hardest. Mind you they were TPOs so no spikes. I found few anchor points below the re sprout and none hardly above

Can you not describe what happened without naming people. Might help people to avoid the same in future -
