  1. Cant match it too any of the rowans,whitebeams or service..
  2. Been through some books,cant match it to anything.Might some type of magnolia?? Do you have a picture of the bark?
  3. I find caritools get caught up alot,i much prefer to use old krabs on my harness for my gear.
  4. All the tory voters have made theyre bed,let them lie in it. Its just a shame we HAVE to join em!
  5. People generally just dont know theyve hired a cowboy. Ha probably thinks hes done a grand job too!
  6. Good on you mate,if your passionate,driven and have high standards you'll do well.
  7. I kinda get wot your saying,its indemic of our profession i think. We rely,or are convinced by marketing that we NEED,certain pieces of kit to do our job when 20 years ago guys were doin the same job,to the same level with almost none of the kit that we use today.Maybe some skills are dying out because using kit is just easier-or so were led to believe.
  8. Priority for me is breathability,no point in waterproof trousers that make you sweat your bo####ks off and end up soaked inside anyway.
  9. Suppose it depends on your sense of humour,in that i have one and you dont.Your quip came across as condicending and not funny. but as you say ho hum
  10. Jeff jepson to fell a tree and knots at work and the art and science of practical rigging by peter s. donzelli and sharon j.lilly for international society of aboriculture.3 must reads imo
  11. Im looking for a portawrap,il swap a stihl ms 180,running well with 14"bar and good chain.plus il throw in some spare bits aswell.Anyone interested pm me
  12. Have you recovered from your sense of humour bypass ? Or are you havin a pop for some other reason ?
  13. Hey all, Im a kit junkie,cant help it,i like the shiney stuff.I sometimes try and cut down on the kit i carry around and on my harness although there are some items i determine to be essential when climbing.So my question is whats on your harness? What kit couldnt or wouldnt you part with ? Heres mine Miller komet butterfly harness 2 spare triple lock biners 2 double lock biners ( light rigging purposes) 1st aid kit 2x endless slings 1x prussik loop 5meter lanyard Water bottle. Pretty standard stuff....what you got?
  14. See the doc,sounds like CTS to me. Monitor your time on vibrating tools,reduce as nessesary,wear anti vibe gloves-gel ones are best apparently.At night you could wear a splint-kinda like a black velcro strapping on your hand to prevent your tingling.Splints are available on amazon fir couple of £'s.
  15. Dolmar,echo,husky,stihl,yawn,bored,same old arguements
  16. Weve got a huge hornbeam in one of our parks,it beautiful in early autumn.
  17. Got my id book out,looks more like the common hornbeam,the browned 3 lobed bracts of the fruit confirm it. I salute you sir!
  18. You could be right,i was thinking the hop as it had pendulous hop like clusters of husks,the common hornbeam and has catkins rather than the cluster.
