Snowy Sheffield hill tops for me today very slimy sycamore rigged allot dropped a bit felled the stem between walls and graves

I have to differ with you there mick there isn't a never ending supply of decent ones there is allot of ones that have just started out and fancy them selves as a subi climber! I do both run my business and do subi climbing out of choice I find climbing for other companies a bit of a break from the stress of staff and customers and all other stuff that comes with my own work ! I am no cheap as a subi or willing to be messed about but the companies I work for no that I am flexible if I can be to help them and like wise i would expect them to offer that in return if they think u are just a employee that they don't have to give holidays to and can just let u down when they have booked u in then I would move on ! but u need confidence in your skills and what u are offering plenty of pretenders unfortunately

Few reasons really there is space in the scabbard for two saws so need for re fuelling one cuts faster but the other seems to handle bigger diameter cuts better so I use which suites the cut better and last but not least cos I can [emoji7]

Hi Stephen I have suffered with on off terrible back pain for years ! I use a Dreams maitland pocket sprung not that expensive but seems good after changing from mega expensive one that was supposed to be good for my back issues it just aggravated it !
-
It would of never fitted through the gap we had through the other tress plus the back limbs were so over extended they could broken off and fallen in the tops of other trees which would have created more work the limb that was grown round the sycmore stem had some real weight in it cutting the tree out from under it without taking any end weight off the limb would of been silly the wind and lack of decent escape route and a few tasty window makers in the top of the pop made for a not very enjoyable experience felling it

Windy rotten popular heavy back lean over road

Well said mate I'm no slender bell ringer but I still seem to get the work done faster than most that's no self compliment it's a fact nearly 40 years old 22 years in tree work body is ruined but my experiences help me save energy in the tree allot of people are far to unnecessarily busy in the tree in their early years climbing!
