My experience differs. I swapped to long gaffs a couple of years ago and they were too sharp. I'm not a stomper by any means but on soft timber i was having to wiggle and yank my gaffs out each step. They're much nicer now they're a bit blunt.

There's also noticeably less drag from the system when ascending compared to the wrench/stiff tether. Perhaps not much of an issue for chest harness folk, but as a neck tether renegade it's nice.

The ability to remove it from your system without dismantling the hitch etc being the main one. Lovely for swapping between SRS & MRS for advancing anchor points. The soft tether allows you to collapse the system with one hand for pulling slack through from above, which could be awkward with the wrench/stiff tether especially with a flat line angle. You just pull down above the freexion to disengage it and collapse the hitch at the same time. You can also adjust the friction settings on the fly without taking it off the rope if you need to. I haven't had to yet, but it's an option if you notice your hitch starting to wear or if weather conditions necessitate it.

Go on? I only watched a short video.

I love the RRP as an SRS device but i find it hateful on MRT. Advancing anchor points with it is pretty bad. I bought the freexion as a bit of an experiment but the RRP hasn't had much of an outing since. The freexion has a few nice advantages over the wrench.

I've just pulled a thorn out of his forehead, presumably from going so enthusiastically face-first at his work.

I wonder why you never see starmer and zippy from rainbow at the same time?

Something that's been on my mind..... That Dominic West who was Jimmy McNulty in 'The Wire' is having to do those ads!

I'd forgotten about then ( to my shame )

Who is in your photo btw? Got it, Craster!

ok, how 'bout this'n then.

This afternoon I was sitting watching rugby when I thought I will Get some of the ash out of the stove and lay an fire with paper and kindling ready for next time we need it . Bearing in mind its been out for two days . So I did it . 20 mins later it all catches light and burns away ! I did not see any embers or anything glowing . Laugh !

Something thats been on my mind… That ad for Nationwide, where the rich banker takes a call from his spoilt little bitch of a daughter in Antibes asking for money to fly home.. Then the Romesh Ranganathan lookalike tells him it’s not a scam etc. The last ad in the séries showed her gloating about her mother (his ex wife) getting reamed out by her yoga teacher, basically calling her real dad (and his employer) breadheads, you know the one. Anyway, let the ungrateful bitch hitch home, or pick grapes to earn enough for a coach back across the Channel.

Just ringing up craploads of willow for family today, for a solid 5 hours of work, between moving it and all that, only 4 tanks through the 462. Must be a 25" bar working it's magic😂

Hi Pat, Is there a number or email I can contact you on?

I let my nephew take the MK1 back to the UK when he left, the junior uses the MK2, though he has recently started using a micro-pulley under a prussik, which he likes.

Ok, you were talking about track and trace hence my response in regards to it. As mentioned by others a cashless society is more of a concern IMO. Your bank gets hacked, your card won't work and your screwed. I always use cash where possible, especially for small business like the corner shop but when doing the big shop it's easier to use a card than carry £200 about, especially since there are less and less ATMs about. I was reading something the other day about all the cyber attacks and that AI makes it far easier for the hackers. Big corps targeted atm like JLR, airports etc but it might not be long before they can and will attack everyone and anyone.

Erm, think you might be reading someone else's experience, not saying I don't like flails for the job they can do or the relatively low damages from it eating things. Low hp tractors such as the op are definitely topper type, without it becoming tediously slow. I will be going back to a topper with a smaller fergy tractor, my 80+ hp with a 2m flail on ground that makes a goat clench when you're 14ft off the floor doing overgrown scrub is boring. Trying to get back to managed pastures, flying around after a bit of sheep grazing.

Yeah, on the few occasions I've used one that did happen and did annoy a bit. Offset by the general luxuriousness though. I enjoy a quick taste of the high life if someone else has one.
