  1. thats the only downside. Takes a bit of planning
  2. Thats what you want. A network of helpers so you can pick and choose the right ones for the right jobs
  3. Got called to do an emergency job a couple of years ago. An Oak tree that a company had turned up to do. Its top had split out. They had climbed up to the top and come down again, telling the customer that it wasn't possible. When I climbed up it the trunk was spiked all the way to about 10ft below where the break was, they didn't even get to the top. There were a stack of branches all the way up the tree to climb up to, it was ridiculous. Very much doubt it could kill a tree but obviously can open up the possibility of infections
  4. struggling to get £120 a day. Its hard work and I wonder if its really worth it. Seems a lot easier ways of making money. Perhaps not as enjoyable though
  5. overhand knot on a bight? Got a pic of that?
  6. Well after using both the Stihl and Echo saws for quite a while now i'm still undecided which one I prefer. The Echo has the power for sure, but I prefer the ergonomics of the Stihl.
  7. Why is it so hard to get stuff sent up to me properly? I always teach just 2 knots which cover anything that might need sent up to me. First is a clove hitch, for anything that needs to be clipped on. This is my knot of choice as it just falls apart after you unclip the krab. Second is a reef knot, for having seocnd line/rigging line sent up etc. Both are incredibly easy to learn, yet I still end up having things sent up the tree with the most bizarre knots imaginable. Is there an easier way to teach these simple knots that I am missing?

    Ouch.

    That was an amazing watch, thanks
  9. Theres no normal price. How many hours will it take you? How many men? What equipment/machinery?
  10. Rare to see unfortunately. I recall reading the actual maximum height they can grow to is still to be determined as they are such a relativley new variety still?
