Just ringing up craploads of willow for family today, for a solid 5 hours of work, between moving it and all that, only 4 tanks through the 462. Must be a 25" bar working it's magic😂

Report back when I've done a few with it. Did have a quick tickle of a conny and it didn't seem too bad, the nob is a quite nice point to grab when adjusting the head.

New toy🤩 Waiting on the battery from Makita on the redemption thing.

Got a pair of Buckingham ones from a mate who decided he didn't like heights for 50quid. Velcro up top, I like, don't like the leather buckles down below, either to loose of to tight Contemplating getting a spikepod or making up some webbing ones

Morning lads Weather can't be worse than yesterday🤪

Meats😍

Yup, flipping love it. Could do with a towball but it does the job

Well, not a truck, but it serves well

@5thelement It looks like a direct shot with something in the realm of a .308/.30-06 with a hollow point bullet. Bearing in mind these are very much capable of stopping a moose, and commonplace in hunting pretty much everything, they are going to, don't know a better way to put it, make a mess of a human.

Hoo boy This could get interesting The great arbtalk avatar war of 2025🤣 (Shitpost)

Well, it's confirmed, RIP. I hope the ****er that deprived children of a father and a wife of a husband rots in prison Again, I don't care if your left, right, down the middle, but you don't go killing people you don't agree with, its wrong.

However it goes, it takes a sick and twisted individual to shoot at someone you don't agree with for their views. Guess how many people my views clash with I've met, hundreds, how many have I shot? 0. Either way, hope he gets better, as at the end of the day, he's someone's father, husband, son and losing someone you love is horrible.

They look bloody good. Ebay might be an option as collection only or delivery for a fee, or the likes of Etsy, I've sold a few turned bits on Etsy. Other than that, getting word out via friends and family/work colleagues is another option, as well as the above local stuff

Anyhoo, wend down the twinpot rabbit hole last night, and ended up with the echo back pack compressor, same engine as the echo 2 cylinder I think.

Powertoolworld out of stock prices are mad, I saw a 185mm circ saw for 999 the other day. Came into stock and price went down to about 200 quid.

@kram Have you used yet? Been considering that XGT saw

Nasty, nasty Get well soon mate Wake up call to look where your putting your krabs

This ugly little fecker about 40ft up. Wondered why an adult pigeon bugged out at a million mph about a minute before.

I use steel on the end of my climbline to make it easier to throw my main line, it's more like a throwball and carab all in one 🙂

Sequoia, newer style. Spent a bit of time in a skyloctec, and the sequoia is by far and away better. Can't stick the webbing bridge.

Old Christmas tree that went a bit mental. Drop zone was main issue on this one, but nothing broken that shouldn't be😁

I use them all the time now, makes life sooo nice, didn't use them on the course had enough to worry about. Just put the rope through the right hole first🙂

When I did my 38, from memory it was you could ditch your secondary climbing system when you started descending with the dummy, depending on what rescue method you choose to employ. As for cambium savers, we had the option, and probably more of a pain than they are worth, especially if you get the order of operations mixed up when installing it. At lowe maintenance (where I did my 38) no time limit on getting a line into the tree, also the assessor is a local cutter, and was very decent about the whole thing. on the rescue it was already in the tree. Dummy was probably about 10-15 ft up, so not stupid hight. Spikes are used on the pole rescue, but all the limb walking etc was just done with boots Think that's everything, lmk if not. Main thing is to remember is that on the 38, your not expected to be swinging about the tree like a monkey, and it's more about proving your safe and compitant when it comes to moving around the canopy. You will however be required to climb on 2 main systems, primary and secondary (can change over) and you can't have more than 500mm slack in any system at any time. That's HSE guidelines
