Great vid,canada looks fantastic..dont think i could work there though,too many conifers and my knees couldnt take all that spiking.

Hey timbercutterdartmoor,It takes a very brave person too write about such personal issues on a public thread.i have the greatest respect for you and its a very great and selfless thing you have done.No doubt it will help others recognise some of the symptoms in themselves.Keep positive m8 were all here for you if you need it.Im sorry i dont have the proper vocabulary to say what id like to say. All the very best to you,keep sharing with us

Hey all,Im looking to get a decent winter work jacket,im lookin for mid range as im skint and cant afford cut and climb.I need it for climbing and ground work.I came across the strein kreiger work smok and wondered if anyone has one or knows someone with one.opinions would be much appreciated. Much obliged
-
Learn from it and move on.Unfortunatly there are some unscrupulous people out there who will take you for a ride. Just my opinion

Haha cheerz for the heads up steve but seriously-no chance! My boss doesnt even know these forums exist.He refers to us as his monkeys...
-
Yip totally agree steve we only do it cause our boss is a total pr!@k and makes us,even though no one has ever had an accident with a saw up a tree,wish i could say the same for the mewp users though!
-
2 maples felled and a cedar topped and chogged, too damn hot today,my jacobs were in absolute tatters! Whoever invented cut proof trousers had an evil streak Roll on the cold dry days
-
Totally agree mate,self rescue is your best chance in a serious injury up a tree situation.Any of you older guys (no offence) or more experienced guys practice your aerial rescues?
-
If its a 038 it could be a av super or a mag-i luuuuved the mag! Great saws
-
Ha!

Very true steve,made me feel like an unfit old codger! My newly qualified groundie made it look effortless,so as punishment he had to buy the tea and cakes..its only fair

Hey all, One of our young lads on the squad has just got his cs38 tree climbing and aerial rescue ticket and is all keen to climb. Seeing him hip thrust on a prussik took me back to the days when i did the same.I gave it a bash and im ashamed to say i kinda struggled.What with climbing kit technology advances in the last couple of years ive become dependant on ascenders and mechanical hitches. Does anyone out there still dabble with the hip thrust and prussik? Give us your stories

Gutted for you mate,we had 2x 201's blagged off the back of the van some months back.Hope you get the chipper back and the f@#*ers who nicked it. -
I appreciate your proffesionalism but if it were me id take the money and run.Ive seen awful tree work but normal untrained people dont know any better and wouldnt batter an eyelid.If im being honest ive butchered some trees aswell to make a client happy.All you can do is advise,if they wont c sense-do it there way and get paid.

Yeah can be lifted on to a transit tipper
-
I had similar problem with my ms180 ages ago turns out it was the exhaust/muffler gasket.worth a try!
-
If its the wheeled one,it can be lifted on to the back of a tipper and lashed down.Ours broke after some cherry limbs give it a hiding and we didnt replace it.Is it the 18 hp model?
-
Had several over the years,the best was end of last year,wasnt that high up maybe 40 feet-ish on a ash we had reduced,on way back to stem just slipped and fell ass first about 6 foot.lesson learned-always tend slack

stihlmadasever replied to TheHungrySquirrel's topic in Climbers talk
Get bigger rope-ddrt with zigzag + pantin win for me -
Could climbing trees help boost your brain power?
stihlmadasever replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
I love to say yes but im dumb as a bag of hammers! -

Hey all,Recently bought a teufelberger(think thats how you spell it) 95cm eye to eye,i use it on a hitch climber set up,sometimes vt sometimes distel,problem is im finding its glazing pretty quick.Im not trashing cord through rapid decents and all my others hitch cords have lasted significantly longer. Anyone out there had the same issue?? Thoughts/opinions appreciated
