They did away with the single wind blown years ago, it’s one ticket now.

The NPTC Assessment covers single, interwoven, snapped out tops, uprooted and multiple stems.
-
Just the bore down in front of the hinge to extend the length if the fibres, I’m not convinced about the sharks gill portion.

Ive seen this cut done many times in Munich. Mostly on backward leaning Oaks that where being winched, not seen it practiced outside of Germany.

Experienced UK climber in France: need more info
5thelement replied to Domstrees92's topic in International Arborist Forum
Have you got a French or EU passport, or are you looking down the work visa route? You can’t just rock up here to live and work without the above anymore. -
It will dry by the fire right enough.😂

I know two guys here in France who bought saws for milling, both the dealers set the saws up with solid nosed bars, I hadn’t seen one in years.

This used to boil my piss when I was hand cutting in the UK. I would meet up with a tweed wearing fatso with ruddy cheeks, who would show me round the estate and point at the 100 or so marked Oak trees that needed felling. He would then tell me how much he was prepared to pay me, like he was my employer and I had no say in the matter. Hang on a minute, I am my own boss, I will tell YOU what I am prepared to fell and process the trees for, if you don’t agree the price and put it in writing, the chainsaw doesn’t start.

Judas Tree, I have a similar one in my garden, it displays wonderful Purple flowers on bare branches in early spring. I will be planting a Foxglove tree alongside it shortly that has similar flowering habit, brightens the garden early on in the season.

Branches Growing over my Neighbour's Boundary

If you attempted to come into my garden when I have told you “No”, I would simply knock your block off, how’s that interpretation? -
That isn’t possible post Brexit without reems of documentation/import duty paperwork, a total ball ache. When I contacted Greenmech to import a refurbed Evo they basically said it would be simpler and easier to just buy one in France.
-
Individualy, not very much. Its hard enough trying to get Greenmech to export me a 6” chipper at the minute.
-
I’m not an Expat, I’m an immigrant living and working in France. Perhaps we experience some of the difficulties that Brexit has caused an see it little clearer from our side. I certainly thought that there would be something to shout about after this length of time, it doesn’t appear so.
-
I have a British passport and a French residency card. I can apply for a French passport in 10 years if I passed the examination requirements.
-
If there where any provable benefits from Brexit you would think that the politicians in charge and Farage would be patting themselves on the back, banging their drums and saying “I told you so”. The silence is deafening.

SEILFLETCHER NOVOLEEN x 13mm is what I have on the Eder 1800. I have been thinking about what you wrote about elastic in the rope being beneficial, but can’t think why in the situations I use my winch in, when do you find elastic rope beneficial, what circumstances?

How do you rate that little Timberwolf Mark?

Picked a bunch of Tomatillos that had started to drop and some mixed hot chillis. If you have ever had proper Mexican Salsa Verde, then Tomatillo would have been the main ingredient. They ripen green and have a distinctive tangy taste. There is an orange variety that is used in Thai cooking also.

First batch of squash cureing in the sun before being overwintered in the cellar. A mix of butternut, crown prince and potti marron.

Looks like well over ripe baby corn.

Getting Foreign Qualifications Recognised in the UK.
5thelement replied to benedmonds's topic in Training & education
I had an Australian guy in a similar situation a few years back, his qualifications weren’t recognised by NPTC. Both the main European Chainsaw qualifications (ECC and ABA) where based on NPTC which was regarded as the benchmark, so they standard set their qualifications to them, making it far more straightforward to work in and around the EU. Outside of these governing bodies it is difficult to establish just what the certificates mean in relation to ours. I simply went through the assessment schedules with him and did a couple of days training to show him all the cuts. He was experienced and a skilled saw user so it was all straightforward. He just had to register and pay for his assessments with minimal training costs, he walked it and he was working the following week. -
It’s a bass guitar.

A fitting message from President Macron.

She will certainly be an hard act to follow. At least Charles has had a lot of time to prepare, I’m sure he’s learned a few things from her over the years.
