We had put prices up a few months back. But last 5/6 weeks we seem to be priced out a lot more on domestic as people look for the cheapest quotes…

Gone very quiet for us. Also now struggling to get the money on jobs that we need. Have tried lowering my prices and that hasn’t helped. We have stayed relatively steady up until this month. We have 4 or so weeks ahead but not many new enquiries coming through.

To be fair I have used it for both applications and don’t yet have much to complain about.

I’ve just bought some. I’ll let you know how I get on.

He puts up some great videos. I went on his course at Treekit, highly recommend attending if he’s ever over this way again.

Depends greatly on the angle of the branch. A good matching step cut as described above works well and it should pop off. Sometimes cutting a small gob can work against you. But I have found a second smaller undercut and good bunny ears, to prevent tearing, is good for added security. Never strop into or below it. Sharp fast chain, no saw lanyard if it’s that big.

Rescuing from a base tie is almost an oxymoron. Base ties are great for access in bigger trees and when your working in a different area of the tree to where your line is routed back down or if your in an adjacent tree. Definitely has its merits. I use a figure 8 backed up. You can also set the amount of slack rope in your system so your not pulling 50m about all the time.
