    Why was your Mrs up a tree....?
  4. stihlmadasever
    Wont be difficult cant be too many 90 foot oaks about
  5. stihlmadasever
    I urge you too take joe up on his generous offer mate And yeah prussik on both mainline and lanyard is fine. You may struggle to ascend this 90 foot oak on a prussik though haha you'll be knackered after 40 foot
  6. stihlmadasever
    If its as termination knots then double figure 8 on mainline is fine but a bit bulky on the lanyard. What hitch are you using to ascend on and as lanyard adjuster?

    If a rope is retired then its retired for a reason,usually because its deemed unsafe by loler inspector,so even though hes-as you say- "checking it " by running it through his hands he could very well miss a serious problem as he's no experience with arborist rope. Its great to read books and watch youtube videos but the only way to climb as safely as possible is to have the proper equipment,and climb low and slow with an experienced climber to there too help you out. What you chose to do is up to you but to offer out that advice was beyond reckless,no offence but you dont sound too experienced yourself. The phrase" learn to walk before you run "springs too mind. I dont mean to offend you but you should think a little harder before you offer advice mate

    Are you really advising a non experienced tree climber to go up a 90 foot tree using a retired partially severed rope...ffs!!!! You need your head examined pal,so does he if he takes your advice. Death or glory?...it would seem death is the likely outcome

    Tell him to bring a midge net....best advice he'll get if he's coming to Scotland..period

    If you have no experience climbing trees you shouldnt be going up 90 odd foot to get your quadchopper thingy,do youself a favour,get a local tree surgeon to get it for you then learn to fly your toy better to avoid trees. In not being a dick here but a 90 foot climb and a novice climber who has no idea of the inherant dangers involved,sounds too me like a recipe for disaster.

    Learning to weld is pretty easy,especially mig welding where all your doing is holding a gun with a rod coming through it into metal.Getting good at welding takes time and experience though.

    Two Wentworth elms,previously though to have been extinct in the UK, have been found in Holyroodhouse Palace grounds in Edinburgh. Dr Max Coleman of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh identified them and said "It is very likely these rare elms survived because Edinburgh city council have been removing diseased elms since the 1980's.

    Years ago id been accepted to go too Oz,have relatives in Newcastle-New South Wales ,but i found excuses not too go,if im being honest i shat it and looked for reasons too stay in Scotland,the great weather etc haha I dont regret it but sometimes i wonder what if. Some are brave enough or take the leap for the benefit of there family,i was just a young guy. Good luck too anyone who emigrates. As for you Reg im glad you've found a home and you and your family have made it a success..good on you mate

    Beautiful tree's,first time i saw this picture i thought it was a piss take fake...
  25. stihlmadasever
    Never seen or heard of this problem but perhaps putting and extention on your bridge to your climbing rope like a long prussik loop or taped sling might help you stay more upright
