What was the issues with the 3 Husqvarnas you had "fail" ? 

Ran over with forwarder

swamp cypress

I use the tree austria shoulder straps with a treemotion (when using big saw). They are good.

I tend to stick up photos of things I find on my instagram, https://www.instagram.com/ruvophoto for anyone who may be interested.

Found loads of goodies in the New Forest working this year. Will see if i can upload some half sensible pics (all taken on cell phone).

I'll skip the scientific names: Devil's fingers, chanterelles, blusher (I think), cauliflower fungus, cep/porcini, porcelain fungus, oyster, parasol.

more details soon i expect...

Rich Rule's idea is a good one. And something I reckon i'd try out. The only problem might be coming down. If you come down on Ddrt system, you can't retrieve the SRT line. But you can't come down on the SRT line without burning through the Prussic. I guess I'd need a Rope Wrench or something on the SRT to deal with that?

 

What do you reckon?

 

Cheers

if you really wanted to decend on the srt line like that you could just use a figure 8 as the additional friction device. A bit of a pain to have to ascender back up to your floating achor on the DRT system though.

you can use something like a cocoon (https://www.treekit.com/cocoon-with-sling.html) or pinto on a prussic as your floating drt anchor from your srt line. You can either install it from the ground or once you are up.

Only retrievalbe from ground with base anchor however and still runs the risk of getting snagged if your top anchor is tight.

Ropeguide twinline is a very tidy solution also, but $$$.

Is this some sort of sneaky marketing ploy? If not can someone check out and review this rope please. Around £1.50 per metre for a decent SRT line seems like a potential bargain.

Ah yea that's a nasty looking laurel infestation you have there. Best course of treatment cut to ground level, stem inject with glyphosate

Hard to say without a sense of scale etc. Was it found in alive of dead wood?

Possibly Nacerdes melanura (Wharf borer) or similar.
