I used to disappear up my own rear end trekking around the country to quote for works - then had a light bulb moment, started asking for spec/tree removal reports and offering up estimated time and costs based on that! If we were in the range I’d then take a trip to site and fully inform fees. Saying that I still get house builders telling me they have a budget of x amount (based on what exactly 🤣) and then get asked if we can start the next day….🤣

Price jobs accordingly - travel time is within their work hours anything outside of that is overtime. If the moneys not on the job doing it that way you cannot expect your employees to make up for that

Not exactly #InAction but it does work…not exactly Arb but it was next to a tree!

- Load chart for machine - shears/grapple saws swl including rotator - risk zones - guarded machine including upgraded glass if running saws - Lolered attachments - specific RAMS - training (in-house) the above has always been sufficient on all my contracts and not just that i feel it covers everything you would need to be safe as an employer/operator.

Manual controls

51/32lmin - winch is used on low flow only. New £3700 ish, my one for you my friend special price £2700 ish.

Easily done… I’ve got one on my Vermeer it’s very useful. You can get a avant headstock made up easily enough and with the extra weight it would be decent I’d wager. The winch is 3.5t and doubled up on a block it’s a powerful tool! I primarily used it for one job winching off felled timber on an incline. I’d probably sell on… feel free to dm.

Not exacting indeed especially in what seems to be an ever growing illogical world.

Of course I agree critical thinking is valuable, the idea that it can become “second nature” through repeated use oversimplifies the process imo. Critical thinking often requires conscious effort—we can’t always be on guard, nor can we fact-check everything we encounter. In fact, over-reliance on skepticism can lead to “paralysis by analysis,” where people distrust information to the point where it only leads them to reinforce their own view. This is how modern politics/media is triumphing over the layman….just sheer amounts of information which cannot possibly be fact checked at the time of delivery (depending on your appetite) leading people to run with their biases. We then fall fowl of a new age problem - people can no longer admit they’re wrong!

Apologies - think more philosophically rather than anatomically. How can you choose to critique what you don’t believe/know?

Optional to uk residents and imposed on newly registered migrant workers/asylum seekers - grasp on reality remains intact, as this will not be the case there is greater things at play…. “Your nose is always present, but invisible to you most of the time because your mind has chosen to filter it out. In the same way, there are truths, patterns, or even parts of yourself that are always there, yet unnoticed because you’ve grown accustomed to them”

I’m trying to understand how it will do anything different than the NI number and anti fraud checks already in place. At best it’s a red herring to make it look like something’s being done, at worst it’s another way of mandating something which will later be exploited (legislation/law already in place will make it easier to impose future control/restrictions. Eager to learn - am I missing something?
