Either me or the saws are going nuts?

Seems strange that all the saws arent oiling,but the one constant in all this is the oil,as said before perhaps the low temp has impacted upon its viscosity. Id say try another brand of bar oil,its seems the sensable answer. -

stihlmadasever replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
What make of saw is it mate stihl husky echo etc and what type of chain oil are you using.I ask this cause some are really viscous and some are piss thin.I have read recently-(on facebook so who knows if its true)-someone else was having problems with a sugi bar oiling. -
You would think so wouldnt you,its common sense...yet i still get ***** walkin in to the drop zone without lookin up or askin if its ok to do so.With the battery saw it isnt completely silent but its difficult to hear over a chipper or a ground saw at an idle never mind full pelt

I know timon.. Trim away the ivy at the anchor point obviously haha

Or hire a mewp and avoid all the hassle...

You can move your anchor down as you decend.Choke off on the stem with a bowline and biner leaving a long tail,decend down to half way,lanyard in and push your kees against the stem,flick both ends of your rope bringing your anchor system down to you and repeat till your on the deck

Be careful in chosing your weapon,price is important obviously but remember to conscider the hand and arm vibration exposure.Some of these machines can be brutally high.The tanaka's are very high on havs.

As said above there are no totally waterproof jackets unless you get grunden oilskins which would not be practicle. Ive never worn cut and climb as i wouldnt pay the inflated price but i would say ive had a stihl raintec jacket for couple of seasons and its heavy scottish rain proof with zips and vents under the arms to help ventilation.You will still sweat wearing any kind of waterproof,its the nature of our job im afraid.

Cutting at neck height is a biiiig no no
-
As said above take a good look around,determine what your likely to be doing, how often and how many staff it will take to do so.Factor all your costs, equipment,fuel,wages,tip site etc.This will give you a rough guideline as to what the job will cost you too do. Add a profit margin and that should be your final price
