Cutting a Japanese pagoda tree in my garden
Mick Dempsey replied to Ab2da's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I’d echo what Nepia says except for the wood turning bit. They are nothing more than time wasting hippies. They might appreciate it, they rarely pay for it. Just show you some bowl or spoon they’ve whittled and expect you to give a shit. -
Put a picture up.

I can’t argue with you about that tbh. How old is the saw?

The manufacturers recommend 50:1 for a reason.

That rope is ideal for natty crotch rigging. Its light, it give better friction in the tree for climber-lowering, the strands give you a better hold and feel in the fist. Plenty strong enough for light/medium rigging. We pulled the Ranger out of a mud hole with a tractor a while back using it. It’s cheap so if you cook it or cut it no big deal.

Anyone see this on Arbtalk FB? Koala Courant, the rings lost the bolt or something.

I know that I play up the ‘you don’t want none of that modern rubbish’ trope. I don’t think it does any harm to point out sometimes that the wheel hasn’t been reinvented, it’s often just been painted a different colour and given a funky name like The Banzai Wankshine.

Oddly enough I have those slings, albeit more brightly coloured. Picked them up in HBs last time I was over. I tried getting into the habit of using them, but fell into the old ways with just a fixed eye krab. I will have another go when we restart work in March.

You’ve changed man, and not for the better.

Wheels locked when it moved? (Skidding)

The bridge ring application is probably the main thing. TBH I’m not going to knock it as my knowledge of modern climbing stuff is limited.

How’s the work? Adjusted ok to the 9-5 life?
-
What is it’s purpose? ok, just googled, I get it now. I suppose a maillon with a loctited thread would have been used.

You should try getting Velcro straps and wraps for those spikes.

How long before someone pulls their own cock off wanking? ’it felt like the Terminator giving me a hand job, then……..’

Why, to ask if they can pinch any of their workers? -
Practically de rigeur I’m told.

Might as well get the terminology right, then you can hang around in bars and impress tree workers. You’re ‘splitting’ the logs
-
Wait till they try and split euc by hand. They’ll end up throwing it through your window.
