There is definitely synergies between Muay Thai Clinch and tree climbing with a rope. I have often been able to control heavier training partners in the clinch due to tree climbing. Grip strength is obviously an advantage in BJJ and by all accounts people say they have trouble breaking my...

Another day and another sticky Fat Pine. Drop and leave, home owner is going to clear up. Yeah good luck with that. Speed lined a few of the back and side limbs off that were over the uninsulated cables. Two or three logs dropped and then fell the stick over with the 661.

Occasionally we do. That job we didn’t. Just a grass rake and then a big blower. We were there an hour, fell, cut firewood and clean up.

Yesterdays job was a bit of a slog in the heat and fighting sap. Large pine to remove and then another over solar panels and decking. Rigged and free falled the larger tree and then used that as a rigging point to swing everythin away from house. No before picture as to busy. All the logs on...

Not so much work pictures, Went over towards the west coast of Norway to help out at the Norwegian National Tree Climbing comp. Camped a night in Hargangervidda and then drove on down to the venue. I was a in tree tech for the ascent event. We set everything up on the Friday and the event...

Haha, I still use freedom units as that’s what we grew up with in the UK. Now I live in Norway, I get confused when they say the bar sizes in cm’s. I just ask “in Inches please” and they haven’t a clue.

My wrists and elbows remember the 200t for everything days. I got one of the first 150t’s early on. Ported it straight off and my elbows and wrist felt so much better for it. I am not really into battery saws. I have used a few but they just seem like a step back to me. Ie the comment...

The Spruce job today was at a property that burnt to the ground last summer. A protected oak had been so badly burnt that it had been felled and rolled to the side so this afternoon we planked that up. Not the widest but some half decent boards for the homeowner to make a table out of once...

That top was a ms400 with an 18” bar. Takedowns I use a 194t which has had the exhaust opened up and retune. Runs links a scalded greyhound. Very strong saw and much better than any of 201t saws I have used. I also have a MS 200t which has been fully ported with timing advance. I use that...

Large Spruce removal for a carport and garage. Lovely day for it and winds were forecast but managed to get the top off before the gusts arrived.

Slightly different I know but the London Plane trees in summer are killer. They will block sinuses, chippers, drains and anything else that you wouldn’t expect to be blocked from the seed balls exploding when they hit the deck. The absolute killer is that they are sterile as well, so the seed...

Whereas Euc will clear the sinuses.

Reduction of a Horse Chestnut. The tree had been previously reduced and we had instruction to take it back to previous points.

Check out the pictures from the Faroe Islands. A small beautiful part of Denmark, close to Scotland.

Stine had a T-shirt that said “Save the whales, for dinner!” It turned a lot of heads and she received a fair few funny looks for wearing it. ;)

A wise man told me a long time ago to quote every job like it will be a nightmare or a Friday afternoon job. That way when you turn up it is always a bit more of a cruise than you expected. Some you win, some you lose. But at least you make good coin on the ones you win.

Crumpets, you say? Reminds me of home but they look a lot different to your crumpets.
