Your truck to tree ratio is well out!

Hernia inducing but looks awesome.

Goddamn stupid fungi and it’s confusing idents!!!! Haha I will never be PTI level

Found it... Phaeolus schweinitzii. Seems like the one. Cheers mate, much appreciated.

Not the greatest picture. I’m flicking through my book and the closest thing I can find is Trametes Versicolor but not as vibrant. Can anyone help?

This was a job I really hated. 15 lines from one pole right in the tree. I ended up being pretty brutal to this Whitebeam but it was necessary.

I always enjoy reading the “worlds gunna end” page...I mean weather page.

Good point

Would it not leave you with a criminal conviction though?

This is what my dreams look like.

You can talk! Haha

Thought I’d upload me getting the 640 round the shed...

Storm damaged and generally knackered Cherries removed from a row of shared gardens. The access to each tree was a labyrinth of sheds, fences and patios. The Avant was just the right size to squeeze round all the sheds etc. to collect all the wood and brash to take to the chipping area roughly 60 meters away.

150 x 2 201t 261 261c 461 462 And a couple of battery tele pole saws

I use a Foot Ascender on DRT otherwise I look like a comedy show pulling my fat ass up on a rope.

Do you want them written in this thread or on the specific tip site page?

I’m 18.4 stone so it’s doable but being lighter and more nimble will make your life a lot easier. My main problem is that I can only climb trees with limbs that can take my weight. Otherwise I’m on a MEWP.

I totally believe in climate change and I would love for everyone to change the way they live including myself. But unfortunately, I seem to be the kind of person that wants that situation handed to me on a plate. I was very worried at one point (and still am) and became frustrated with most of the world until I realised I was a total hypocrite. Technically I’m selfish with regards to the issue. I waste fuel, consumables, food...everything really. I don’t mean to but I could never take any moral high ground. I live in excess. I’ve tried living to a limit (when I felt strongly about the Earth struggling) but I was unhappy as you end up seeing everyone else living their normal life not changing. And then once I realised that I’m not going to make a difference I slowly reverted back to living they way this country offers me to live. Im excited about all the technicoligal advances with regards to green energy. It’s good to see countries being pioneers in huge solar farms or green cities. But then again, I read that this is a small drop in the ocean. China are outstanding in renuable green energy until you realise they have dumped more concrete in the last decade than the USA ever have in their lifetime. Actually I think they used more crete in 3 years than the USA in the whole of the 20th Century. That’s mental and totally conflicting. We are run by higher powers. We live by their rules. We exist in what’s been built for us. The technology is there but everyone (government bodies) is too scared to take that leap of faith because it all boils down to money. They’re tied up in profitable enterprises that only offer excessive, indulgent products. Lastly, I think even though I believe what I am writing, there’s an element of doubt. I actually don’t know what to believe anymore. I can’t give an informed opinion on most things because I actually don’t know anymore. All I know is that I wore shorts and T-shirt in Feb this year and that ain’t good.

We just hang wet ropes with a continuous slip knot over an exposed RSJ. It’s hard to get them dry in winter though as it’s a cold unit.

Ahhh I got you. It’ll still be subbed out (although I’m not sure to who) until I’ve got everything transferred over but to be honest, as we have to cover the whole of East Anglia, I’ll be keeping at least 1 sub contractor in each county as we can’t cover all the work currently.

The drains?

That’s crazy! This is my first experience of this kind of thing so I think I was just very panicked and worried if it was going to have some kind of knock on effect to the company. Word of mouth is a powerful thing.

Yeah RFT are the facilities company owned by Flagship Group. I run the Arb Department but it’s so new no one really knows it exists. Our customers are who ever lives in a FHG house and all the entire tree stock on land owned by FHG is obviously ours to maintain. As we don’t chase external contracts at the moment we have no need to advertise hence why we just operate in the background. I felt abit cagey thus giving a vague explanation as I thought at the time of writing, it could’ve been any “guest” on here. Just paranoia. After finding out about this guy, I’m discovering that I will jealously defend RFT and would hate any smear against its name and my reputation within the company. Hopefully it’s a one off, I was just worried it’s happening a lot without me knowing.

So I found out today that there’s a guy telling our customers that he works for my department. He cutting down trees due to “insurance purposes” that are part of our tree stock and then charging a £150 fee to our customers that shouldn’t be paying anything, ever! I’ve notified the police and my Comunications Dept but I really want to investigate this myself and find him. What can I do to try and find him? Has this happened to anyone else? Whats strange is that the company doesn’t advertise and we stay hidden as part of the background workings of the parent company. Could it be someone I actually know?
