Cheers joe. The climbers are really good aswel so i will learn alot them and their giving me plenty of climbing practice . I thought steve was trying to patronize me unless ive missed something , which by the sounds of it i have. Anyway thanks for the advice.

Great advice for doing things quicker . I Think the council would have something to say if i did that to a tree that was down as a general prune though haha

Hahaha whatever pal

Its hard to tell on here if people are being sarcastic because there are some idiots out there

If i did that id be getting my P45. We are a team and everything we do is to help one another . Im being taught to do things the exact opposite to what you have suggested but i know other people do things differently so each to their own.

Thanks for the advice everyone

Thanks i got told the same thing about having too much confidence can lead to accidents or things going wrong

I have just over 1 years climbing experience and started a new job 1 month ago as a trainee climber. The work we do is for the council so we have daily targets that we have to meet. I have been told that my climbing is ok but i need to gain speed. They understand that it comes with time and they want me to do things right and safe for now but i still need to improve. The guys who are training me are great and full of experience and have already given me advice on how things are done and what i need to do to improve. I just thought id come on here to get other climbers advice and tips on how to become a good climber. Thanks

Yes IMO. the guy i worked with had both and i would choose the 395 over the 660 any day but each to their own. I prefer any husky saw over stihl to be honest

395 all the way . less vibration, more power, most comfortable IMO
