Unregistered, whatcha workin on right now?

Apocalypsse

OmG?! Only like 5-6 left before I have to sleep and wake up to start my new job, the nerves are really starting to go for it now, getting a bit shakey too. Been like 10 days since ive done any actual tree work, decided to refresh myself a bit by pruning my peach tree back off the house, deadwooding it and get it growing up instead of out.

Done it

Good luck with the new job.

dov

New job mate? Who with? You want to catch up weekend after next for some climbing?

Good luck on the new job. I hope it all works out good for you.
As for me, I'm getting ready to go and cut some fire wood, behind my barn. Have a good one. Bruce.

Working on finding a job, struggling to find any work at the mo here in Edinburgh
Seems like nobody is taking on climbers and this day here-day there lark is doing my head in. All my contacts have nothing on so now I'm looking into other
options -rope access co's maybe. garden centres dont seem to want to get
back to me.
Need to find something soon.

Apocalypsse

Citywide, had pretty much half a day of going through policies, gave me a headache, it was like someone smacked me across the head with a book. As for climbing ive got plans for that weekend.

danschweitzer

I m just a part timer in the woods and we finished till november last week but lots is learned each day I get and wat a privelige it is when we get a day. Mainly thinning and clearing small areas of mainly soft wood with the odd hard wood imbetween. it all gets re planted, noot by me but it does get done

dov

Ah well, we'll find some time soonish I guess. I'm taking some of the stags out soon (hopefully), so there might not be much left to spike up. Plenty of trees to rope up and an awesome view from the canopy! I'm leaving one stag, but it's way too bloody dangerous to climb.

typed in flip lines to try to find the white & blue arbor plex I think is what it was anyway, as I see they have a holloween orange color now, and very disturbing to me anyway, came across this site & guys talking about the wire core failure, which I'm the 2nd guy to fall out of a tree from the failure 19 yrs ago this comming may 5th. So I signed up so I could repley to their conversation. When you think yer safe is when yer foolin yerself

Apocalypsse

I never realised how useless the BC1000 is until today, never will I buy one of those POS. We were trying to chip malleluca and it just wasnt going, no lift and crush, struggled to get curvy branches through.

dov

Melaleuca does strange things to my saws as well... there are a few natives that rip the whatever out of my chains.

Apocalypsse

We had a 192 and HT75 going through malleluca just fine. I was just incredibly shocked how bad the Vermeer took it, I thought it had lift and crush, that would have solved the problem.

how many times do I have to respond to this this is the last time for gods sake

Jeff Darby

I'm working on a pond, a friend dropped of this square bath thing and I'm going to dig a hole and put it in the ground and put bush rocks around it and goldfish, ferns and other plants and make a fish pond. With a fountain, I know a lecy that will come and put electricity to it for me.

It's going to look excellent!

jtrouse

hey all just been contract climbing lately with a few melbourne tree companys and did a few massive mountain ash up in belgrave pruning out failing limbs and deadwood, check out the footage ascending up the tree.

cheers

The more I use the BC1000XL the more I take back this comment. Apart from the malleluca it takes everything pretty good, starts first time everytime and chips pretty good. Right now im doing at least double the work than I did in my previous crew and in half the time.

djbohn

well, life.
had to go up in a (lg) tree to bring a trapped one down.
another face of shit dowsing.
i cut it from bottom. it did what it should, but then it twisted, and i got caught.
i am such an idiot. gaw i hate pain.
(lol my right ankle; i'll put it up against Gettysburg).

Stuck up trees suck alright!

Hey there,
Have been up a few Blackwoods and Gums doing some confined felling. All went sweetly on both jobs.
I Have been trialing a pair of "Wolf" climbing Irons before a possible purchase- has anyone got some experience they could share with me please?
Im pretty happy with the way they handle.

Eric Frei

The idea looks good, seems more feasable than Gekkos.

You like them?

What is the gaff length, often we get to choose "shorts" or "longs"?

Link to see the climbers

I wish you lived here Leif. There are one million things you could build for me.

But if I am not too wrong, I might have ... let me see... 10000001 things I'll have to do here first... .

hi, i would like to load a photo' pls help!!!!!!!!

Belltree

The gaffs have a 3 position setting so you can raise/lower the gaff to suit what you are climbing. Something I havnt tried yet but is very straight foward.
They hold/support quite well for long periods and although they have a bulkiness and extra weight to them I think its an acceptable trade off. I see pictures of guys wrapping towels and binding up their ankles with all sorts off stuff to try and reduce quite major discomfort.
I think the Wolf design has done pretty well to meet a wide range of off the shelf users.
My only real concern at this stage is if you decide/need to step onto a branch/limb then the plastic moulding on the bridge under your foot can be very slippery.

Just like to say that the vast knowledge and individual viewpoints on Tree World is invaluable and are learning lots already. Thanks
