  6. Hi all, this is Nick from Failsworth in Manchester, is there anyone in my area that might let me spend a day with them working and seeing what's it like to work in a tree surgeon environment ? I have my own 10 million liability policy that I can use to cover me whilst a day is spent with them. I want to see what's it like before I do my various tickets. I don't expect to get paid but I do a full day labour in return of the opportunity. Cheers Nick Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

My FClass rifle set up is just short of £3,000 and with a factory action. With all the add on it going pass the above mark now. I have a 50 cal bullet head when I find it I will post a photo it weight 700 gn. And is bloody huge lump of brass. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  11. Hi my dad lives in Italy in Vasto, near Pescara. He has had a terrible year with the olives, worms have reduced his yeald from 4 ton down to just under half ton of olives which is disastrous. Apparently there is concern about using To much chemical to kill the pests. I am flying out in summer to see if there an alternative as the 10 acres of olive trees now belong to me as dad has handed them over to me and I am curious to see if I can turn the production around.

  15. Hi all its nick As you all may guess I am new to this forum and since joining I've looking at most forums but getting slightly confused? Can you tell me WhatI need to do chainsaw certification Aerial rescue certification First aid certification Anything else that would help me get a job? I know that experience would come with the job, is there anyway that I could spend a day with a tree surgeon company? Is this available or am I barking up the wrong tree? When there are posts about tree climbing ! What's this about ? Is there a job description of a tree surgeon? I appreciate the info about type A Type C PPE kit that was sent to me via a member cheers for this info My apologies for such a large question But I'd appreciate your feedback Cheers Nick Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
