Yeah, I guess, but 5 young adults? Anyway, what do I know about youth.

Re. Those youngsters who died in that car crash, didn’t any of them have ‘find friends’ on their phones?

I would say here where I am (south west rural France) we’re around 20 odd years behind the UK in regards to paperwork and regulations. They’re just starting to bring in RAMS and stuff. I regularly see farmers in the buckets of telehandlers cutting branches off field side trees. Im sure I’ll be retired before these things start to gain traction here, thankfully.

Hire company technicians don’t use chippers and don’t understand how to keep them in best working order. One hire machine (that I bought) had stock fencing around the roller shaft and they had sharpened the blades (circular Greenmech ones) by machining the front face, making them thinner, and moving them further away from the anvil. A lot of prejudice against certain brands comes from hiring poorly set up examples. Could be that taking a mass order/easy buck from hire companies can be counter productive for the brand as a whole.

Yeah, we don’t know the details, so there’s some speculation of course.

Any climber who is trying to catch a top that big is 100% in charge, this isn’t just a nod and a wink lower of a branch. He should be in charge of everything about that operation imo, including the groundy’s positioning, edit, including how many wraps are needed.
-
And who’s responsibility was that in your opinion?
-
He didn’t have any choice! The rope pulled him in

‘Anything broken?’ yes mate two ankles.

Where are you coming in to?
-
Don’t know how to sorry! maybe someone else can?

They’re very worn.

How long have we urban dwellers got?

Arbtalk.co.uk | Facebook WWW.FACEBOOK.COM A group for those who use Arbtalk.co.uk for Arboriculture discussion. Whilst we welcome... This one pissed me off. A series of miscalculations and ‘doing it for the Gram’ leaves a guy with serious injuries 1: piece too big. 2: groundy in line with the piece. 3: Why neg rig? Nothing but dirt underneath.

Yeah, that German thing was odd. My understanding is you have to show a firm job offer, and the employer has to show that they can’t find an eu resident to do it. Effectively starting your own business, ie. Becoming a self employed freelance climber, would involve endless paperwork and sitting in government buildings. Then getting the Carte Vitale can take months for the healthcare. Could always just do it on the fly for cash, bit risky of course but if I was young I’d take it. Ideally find an Irish grandparent and get an Irish passport.

I understand you can get frozen mice to feed them, this helps them get used to eating small rodents and aides their transition into the wild.

It’s ‘watching brief’ isn’t it?
-
@Ty Korrigan impressive, but you may have gone too big. A mistake we made was to cultivate too big an area which made maintaining it a chore rather than a pleasure. We scaled down to a few smaller beds after a few years. Nice looking soil, if you use wood chip a bit of builders lime to reduce the acidity will help or your brassicas will fail.
-
It won’t be easy, that much I can tell you. The hoop jumping will be beyond anything you have experienced.
-
I think the ‘watch and brief’ part may mean an awareness of nesting birds, which may stop the job.
-
To me, looks like a load of crap as an understory, clear it all and leave the decent size trees.
-
Mine has that as well, didn’t realise it was robust enough for anything more than recovery. Good info.
-
Very good points, the towbar provides the safest pulling point on all 3.5 tonners though doesn’t it?
-
Has it? Any examples of this generic phrase to show us on here?
-
Can you provide pictures?
