1) are you a climber? Are you speaking from a self evaluation. Or are you just off target.

2) sure climbers are generaly out side of the box, except for many hanging around here, and they approach life a little out side of the norn. That is when they are in the trees, many come down and are the bigest jerks you could ever meet as examples in the box.

Well.

Please tell me you climb Jack.

Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

No kidding! I was driving to a job in an affluent neighborhood and saw a man on an A frame ladder with a machetti swinging wildly trimming (slaughtering) the medians. My client asked me if I saw what the hacks were doing. She said she couldn't believe how cheap the property managers were. By the way they had a pickup with branches 10' above and flowing over the truck. Totally unsafe in every direction. They were obviously too cheap to pay quality arborists their rates.

Hey, I'm not cocky, or hard to work with in the least bit.

Really! Trust me!

I use the Ibuki and the zubat. I saw a picture of a new one that looks all erganomic I forgot the name. I think it had a yellow handle . what was that one?

**jimmyq** · 12-09-2004, 11:40 PM

Sugoi

**xander9727** · 12-10-2004, 05:02 AM

Jimmy have you or anyone else used a Sugoi yet? If so what is your opinion? How does it compare (pros and cons) to a Zubat?

1. No I'm no climber just a long sufferin' groundie who puts up with "skilled" climbers who think they're worth far more than they get, I know the wheat from the chaff. The good ones know who and what I mean. It was written in jest in the same vein as the above comments, no offence meant to any1.
2. Yes they are, and I have a lot of respect for the good ones, as they "respect" me

cheers, Big A.

**xander9727** · 12-10-2004, 02:33 PM

A good groundie is hard to find. Ya definately hold on to one when you do.

**SteveBullman** · 12-10-2004, 02:35 PM

indeed, even close

**Big A** · 12-11-2004, 03:42 AM

Doh! You say the nicest things Steve, s'pose that's a drink I owe ya at the Xmas do!

Any1 tried the ARS range of saws outside of the UK? Opinions?

**John Paul Sanborn** · 12-13-2004, 10:29 AM

I know a guy who climbed for Davie back in the 70's and they would sharpen the back of thier speed saws as macheties for whacing sprouts off parge trims.

Sounds scarry to me!
