Good work Husky hope it goes well for ya!

Climb safe and enjoy a few at the end of each day!

Had two days work up in St. Andrews giving a few large trees a lift and tidy
as part of a ongoing planting regeneration project. climbed to top of big oak
and set anchor point then when I came to descend I managed to be about 3ft
short of rope to get to the ground

Not something I really enjoy
happening too often!! Lucky I had some ground crew to help me out as I had zipped down my rope right down to the taped end.
I'm sure this wont be the last time I do it though

Husky man, CONGRATS,

on the job, I hope it all works out good for you. Stay safe while at work. Bruce.

Hi Ekka. It is very cold and lots of snow here. I was wondering if you or anyone else reading these post's would know how I could go about obtaining a few acorns from Robin Hood's tree, the "Major Oak" located near Edwinstowe in Sherwood forest?

Here's their website.

Contact them via email about buying acorns.

Hey all haven't been doing any tree work lately because we were pounded with snow here for the last two weeks. Snow depth anywhere from 1' to 1.5'..
Starting to really look forward to spring. Anyway my son had a few days off from school and we decided to pack up and head into the woods and camp out for a few days. 18 degs at night with mostly sun during the day. Here's a few pic's of the trip, with our trusted guide Jazz. Stay safe

I'm a novice computer operator. Thank you for your welcome message.

I registered to treeworld because I am trying to understand the balance between authorities, conservation and ethics/human rights.

I look forward to posting some specific questions and images (if I can!!)

So far I am very impressed with this site.

May your dams be full forever.

Endangered.

Hi from slipper well its going well how about you whats new with you all .any news about any thing

esky79 · 18th February 2010, 08:16 PM

Nice work Ekka.

Have been told your computer skills are quite good. Nice little bit of programing to freak people out a bit.

Melbourne is now dry after some rain early in Feb and always busy doing tree work in Melbourne.

Ekka · 18th February 2010, 08:32 PM

LOL, it's good to be different. I like that add on, Be careful coz it's used in a few places.

I just saw rat's camping pictures .... trying to stop ya beers from freezing is half the battle!

Bugger that, I reckong 15C is about as low as one should go. Winter here is perfect, 15C overnight and 24C days, humidity 55%.... bloody perfect. Summer sucks, and with the recent rain it's a flamin sauna.

Back when I wrote this .... Kids are back to school and the youngest started for the first time (2008), so cute with her little bag and uniform. Our dams for 2 million people were close to empty with 13% water left but it rained, started raining December 2007 and kept raining to June 2009 bringing them up to 76% capacity, but some places did miss out and are in trouble still.

So how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

I don't think i am the only lanie visiting, things are going great.

Sure, just rub it in, about the temps.

. Friends like you, who needs enemies.

Here in the Great White North, well it is white out side, but the snow isn't that deep around here, 6" to 8" deep here, but, a lot deeper in other parts of North America. Bruce.

Yea right, piss on the beers from freezing woke up around 5 in the morning fire went out f-in cold just trying to keep me nutz from freezing

The young lad had a blast can't wait to go again Stay safe

simmogra · 21st February 2010, 05:15 PM

Thanks for the interest Ekka, Bloody Wet actually. We had that 350mm of rain overnight 2 weeks ago. The neighbors dam overflowed for 30 metres across over the top of it making a hell of a roar, glad it goes down a gully and through the bottom corner of our property. Not the place to put a driveway though. Washed the driveway down onto the road again, took 5 hours to put it all back using my backhoe and one son. Needed the exercise though so can`t complain many others had damage we were lucky to avoid that.
