[ame] [/ame]The cars - all mixed up

I would marry a girl that had a dad who owned a garden centre who stocked fencing slabbing acer trees and anything that costs in a garden. I would have a crap chainsaw and just fell across gardens and deal with it on the ground and replace all broken objects with over supplies from the father-in-law

Got to keep on pressing

That's a great idea mate, people will buy them

I did hear that, tbh I didn't explore that one. That would have meant going to hotels and asking people are they refugees. Possibly could have got that one wrong and ended up having some Middle Eastern looking guy/s jump me like Sky news - British guy stirs trouble in holiday resort, lays seriously injured in hospital:001_smile: But seriously, where we were, for what we saw and who we spoke to, it looked more of a strain on resources than a benefit to the locals

Same as above

What I meant was its a good way to get some basic info, I didn't mean or criticise anyone who rigs without it. I started rigging well before I did cs41. Probably I need to sharpen up my English to explain what I mean better

The crossing

More from kos

So I've recently returned from a holiday in kos where most will know there is a serious refugee issue. I wanted to know for myself without the media spin what was happening there. Everything I learnt has already been said in countless other threads but I would still like to give a brief account of my experiences. The crossing from turkey to kos is roughly a couple of miles, you can see bodrum from kos harbour. The refugees have to sabotage their boats forcing Greek rescuers to come to their aid, that way they officially enter the EU as a refugee. Tents are provided and they are all on the harbour front awaiting a ticket to catch a ferry to Athens. Until then they have to live as squatters crammed into their little tents. The smell of urine and other unsavoury aromas float around this place. An observation I made was most had new generation mobile phones and I know they are expensive bits of equipment. Scattered amongs some genuine refugees were some Nigerians who I approached and asked if they minded me asking some questions. They were looking for a better life and were using this current refugee issue as an opportunity to get just that. I found that quite distressing as I couldn't quite find compassion for this group as I could for the genuine displaced people's of Syria. We talked to a Syrian national who had been working in Germany for the last 5 years but his visa had ran out. That meant he had to go back to Syria to apply for a new one. For him it was not possible as he said he would be killed if he went back. So his situation was he had to exit Germany but could not go to Syria and since he was already in the EU the only reasonable answer was to try to find his long term girlfriend who had recently exited Syria as a refugee. He tracked her to kos after going to two other islands and found her in kos. As he approached her her family made her decided between them or him, she choose her family. So this guy was left in kos, on a bench with his suitcase wandering where his life was going. I felt gutted for him but that was kind of lifted by this guys upbeat attitude and the fact that he was smiling with an acceptance to his present circumstances. So overall I am saddened that this is happening to human beings and I am saddened that there are people taking advantage of this crisis. I do remember thinking, when I could see most had mobile phones, there are those who cannot afford this trip and have to suffer in their own homes back in Syria. Please, all this is my own personal experience of this situation. I've tried not to judge harshly or be opinionated, if I have, I had no intention of doing so

Forgive me if I'm being predantic? but have you done a cs41? You can gain a good basic understanding of various rigging techniques and the different weights, forces, factors, fit for purpose equipment to use for every rigging operation. Sorry again if I've made an assumption

Hi all I have decided to move back to Wales to be closer to my family and am looking for work as a climber. I hold a uk driving licence, 30,31,38,39,41 + LOLER inspector. I realize that many are Looking for work, so I can offer a day of graft for you to see my working abilities. Always ready to learn more. lots of you having been in this game for years and have much to pass on Trees is a passion, not just a job IMO I have my own PPE + climbing kit Thanks

Nice..........that looks like what I imagined would be a good one. Soft shell, tight fitting, helmet fits inside......and only £89. Think I'm going to join you in trying that one mate

Today was lashing down in Coventry. Wore an endura base layer and tShirt. It got wet but I stayed warm all day, until I finished. Then changed to a dry tShirt. Enjoyed the staying warm part, didn't enjoy the slippery Lombardy poles Endura base layer £29

I came across this in a boutique in a Christian retreat/training facility. It's water proof, wind resistant and ultra light. I started using it for tree work (hasnt ripped, snagged,torn,damaged). Last year I bought the Stihl water proofs and found that I got more wet inside them. Absolute pants they are. Another jacket (soft shell) made by jack wolf skin is comfortable, light, fitted, water and wind proof. I just don't know how it would stand the rough environment in some trees. I did have a look into some off shore yachting jacket made with some fascinating new material technologies. Maybe some of you have experience with these kind of areas and if they would be of any use in trees?

That truly is a genuine masterpiece. It's easy to appreciate the work you've put in to that. The animals are awesome and detailed and having plain seated space perfects it overall look. IMO. I know nothing about wood carving or milling

Thank you for all the advice, will pass it on to our landscaper. Thank you aspenarb, have sent email to request definite answer to legal use in terms of insurance coverage to the DSA (just for peace of mind)

The STIHL GS 461 concrete saw | STIHL Currently our landscapers use Stihl cut-off saw. I mentioned this GS 461 to our lead landscaper and he asked me if a cert of competency was needed. My first response was yes but then thinking about it CS31 is tree specific. Does anyone know if there is a course or talks of one for concrete chainsaws or if it's unnecessary? Our concerns are for people's safety, also for insurance purposes? I've been unable to find anything out through Google maybe someone on here knows. Thanks

He picks anything up........bins, tree limbs etc.. Always cuts his mouth and has worn his front teeth down to almost nothing

our bitch had nine and this was one of the nine
