    4 man team we all climb.we take climbs in rotation.

    I started climbing at almost 40. The tutor is talkin out his arse. Those who can... do Those who cant... teach. Dont let anyone tell talk you out of what you want to do mate.

    For me the age thing is irrelevant,weve progressed massivley from hip thrusting on prussiks and blakes to mechanical devices to aid our ascent and movement within the tree. As long as your reasonabley fit and willing to do the work everything will take care of itself. Work smarter not harder... That last bit was a bit arsey But you catch my drift

    Ive found electric hedgecutters give the best finish but are rarely a practical option. I use the still double sided HS45 hedgetrimmers and get them sharpend or get new blades...always a good finish on privot and leylandii

    Get new blades on your ht 85's.

    Ive been away for a while so havent been able to check in on arbtalk for a while. I cant believe this thread is still in the immigration/ racist debate...its going round in circles.

    Same as steve i rarely use a flipline. The one that lies around is a stein (i think) with an ISC ropegrab. Still got the original cutaway on it too

    Yeah i agree stubby.I dont have a problem with top handled saws being used on the deck. Most climbers have probably done it at some point
  13. stihlmadasever
    You are absolutley correct in your point of all chainsaw use is dangerous to an untrained individual. My point was however top handled saws are more dangerous to the inexperienced climber as they may struggle to get into the correct work position and the temptation to one hand the saw increases. A rear handled saw would at least make the climber use both hands at all times.

    Stihl Ms 241.
  15. stihlmadasever
    Very much so,little rear handled saws are great for in tree work before you've received your top handled training, like i said earlier you cant go wrong with a stihl ms 180 or a stihl 211 if your need a little more grunt.
  16. stihlmadasever
    Ive drilled a wee hole in my climbing wedge and tied a length of throwline to it with a dogsnap at the other end to clip onto my harness. Easy and cheap
  17. stihlmadasever
    By this statement im sure you have no training in using top handled chainsaws until you have dont use em. Get yourself a little 2nd hand ms180 theyre great gutsy saws and very ergonomical to use
  18. stihlmadasever
    Saw choice is totally dependant on what your needs are. Obvious choice would be top handled saw if you've been trained to use it in tree.I say this because too many people who have no training use a top handled saw one handed..dont...its dodgey. With a rear handled saw you have to use both hands. For me its the 150 for small stuff,onto the husky 346 then a 440 or 66 in the bigger wood. You could use a ms 180/181 as a replacement for the ms200/201 top handled saws.

    Where you based mate?

    I did see a couple of episodes in the last series where Ramsey Bolton got what he deserved. Pretty gruesom but great tv...and of course the white walkers battle got me interested again...perhaps i ll watch it on catch up hmmm
  22. stihlmadasever
    Couldnt watch anymore after Rob Stark(the wolf of the nooorf) got done in at the red wedding...all my favorite characters kept dying.. Although Danerys Targarian is bloody gorgeous... Theres definetly something about a woman astride a dragon..
  23. stihlmadasever
    Hows the the sizing dan? Im lookin for some type A's but im not sure if id be small or medium. Im a medium in xfits,hiflex and breathflex but a small in anything husky...
  24. stihlmadasever
    Its an american video so its heavy on the cheese but its a decent example of a good work positioning lanyard.
  25. stihlmadasever
    Art positioner is probably the best rope grab on the market,its easy to tend and easy to loosen but its pricey. Your probably at the stage where a hitch of your choice,distel, knut or vt etc paired with a hitch tending pulley is both ergonomical and easy to use. Plenty of old threads on hear about it. I ll post up a link for youtube in a mo
