Darrin however has a good phone...cheers darrin:thumbup:
-
Cant do links sorry..my phone is shite. Just go on youtube type in "cambium saver and pulley saver installed with throwline"
-
Thats not what she said...
-
Arborkiwi has a great tutorial on youtube on how to install and remover that pully saver from the ground
-
Yeah that would do the trick
-
It'll take a lot of friction out of the ascent as the rope your pulling is rubbing on the branch,probably extend the life of your rope aswell.Also prevents the bark on the tree being removed hence the name cambium saver
-
Depends on what system you climb on really.Less friction would be the major benefit.I climb on a zigzag with a pulley saver prussik looped onto a multi anchor which makes climbing and moving around the tree silky smooth so a hellva lot easier. The angle which your rope is pulled through the rings of a standard cambium saver isnt great either,a pulley is wider so doesnt bend the rope as it travells over the rotating wheel. Id recommend a pinto pulley saver as the pinto has a becket that is also rated for bodyweight incase the bearing on the pulley wheel breaks off.

Rich T are utter shite other end of the scale is caramel digestives...i can get through a full pack of those with a cup of tea easy

Im with you on the hiflex,mine have patches all over due to brambles and pyracantha.Im a medium in hiflex and a small in pfanner gladiators,although i like the hiflex wee bit baggier.
-
The soggy ones...??? Oooft thats nasty:biggrin:

Sold my 038av a while back-had a 20 inch bar and chain on it,well looked after but the vibration was pretty bad. I got 250
-
Jacamo...fat boy sizes.
-
Meidl's for me,airstreams for climbing and woodwalkers for fannying around on the deck.They come in hslf sizes too.
-
I 2nd the stihl ms180,bullet proof little saws,i had one for years and it never missed a beat.A second to that would be the stihl 181 also a great little saw but probably just out of your price range at 200 sheets. I recently bought a husky 135,and although ive not used it that often id say dont bother,its mediocre at best...problems starting it,feels poorly made and the guidebar is like papermache
-
Best one yet,stonkin sound track aswell
-
Theres a guy on here called Arrozdoce who hails from Portugal.Seems like a decent bloke too.
-
Most people,for one reason or another,couldnt climb to the level where your getting paid a decent wage.
-
CS38 pole climbing best practise advice please
stihlmadasever replied to Paul73's topic in Climbers talk
We used something like a chokered set up too,kinda like this -
Our collie used to get pretty edgey on hearing fireworks,he couldnt give a toss now cause he's 13 and almost completly deaf. Just reassure your dog when they get scared,or distract with treats
-
Proud too say ive never washed my rope,when its funky i order a new one.
-
I just blow all the crud off with a compressor airline,only had to wash it once with hot soapy water after a conifer job. I go to hitch climber or prussik on connies now to save the zz gettin gunked up with sap
-
I started out as a chef for 10 years and kinda stumbled my way into grounds maintenance then into the arb world,even on a bad day,an arboriculture career beats fannying around in kitchens. Jump in mate.As above basic saw tickets and driving towing license is desirable
-
St johns ambulance do a decent first aid course but as above id say arbaid would be more relevant to the type of injuries you would encounter in the industry

Being tired can be a manifestation of deeper lying health problem.Im not trying to scare you but id say go to your doctors first,get a check up and take it from there. Of course it could be as simple as not enough sleep,quality food,stress or a combination of all three. Ive a mate who was complaining of feeling lethargic all the time,a trip to the doctors later he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. For peace of mind get an MOT on your body. Good luck
