    Stihl Norway promoting unsafe tree dismantling

    Not as bad as it seems but Stihl Norway have used one of the local "old school" tree fellers when they made illustration photos for their new comfort wear protective clothings. Most of them just from some dudes walking in the forest with their chainsaws but a couple when this dude was...

We shouldn´t waste much time disecting these wids and finding flaws, look for what they actually are doing well - that shouldn´t take long.

    Colleges for Arboriculture

Don´t think they have foundation degree outside UK, certainly not in Norway where I live. I fact we do not have any higher education in arboriculture so I was more or less...

    Took a foundation degree in science arboriculture at Myerscough College / UCLAN. Did it part time online over three years since I was unable to stay away for two years, worked great for me - it can be extended to a BcHons in two years of further study. They have great teachers, I can still ask...

    New Year Resolutions

    Start training both cardio and strength on a more regular basis. Keep climbing allthough I´m mainly behind desk now - why give up something so fun and challenging. Be more organized allthough I have my doubts I´ll manage it.

    Standard Face Cut For Lifting Picks?

    We don´t use crane a lot but when the opportunity comes we usually balanse and slash cut, standing sections where there might be an uncertainty whether the butt will come against you we use a shear cut. Don´t like the idea of moving and swinging pieces.
