6:51 onwards as an example of a cleated off dead stop where the climber does everything. But there's nothing stopping the groundsman controlling the tail from the floor. Except it jars with everything we're used to.

I should have explained earlier I meant just for stem chunking. Wrote in a hurry.

Negative rigging a stem. Climber is always at the rigging point.

Portawraps already exist. People already use them aloft. I'm just wondering why it isn't more common, considering the predominance of pros and the sparsity of cons. I suspect because it's always been done like this.

So if the Groundy is operating it how does he put the wraps on or are you expecting the climber to move back to the device every time? Or are you thinking the device is insitu of the cut and the climber moves it about writhin within the canopy?

You and Mick have got hung up on the climber doing it, probably because I put that too high up my list. The groundsman can do it like normal. It's just that the friction is up rather than down.

So can you try and articulate what you are after in regards your random NI question. The economy The weather The price of housing The far more sensible firearm laws The different customs arrangements and or the pros and cons of the Good Friday Agreement The current political situation The role of the armed forces during the period known as the troubles etc etc etc oddball 🤣🤣 patience lad

You have created your own codenames for people who use a tree site. You're a funking oddball.

There is a lot to do. Whilst I agree in a lot of the pro’s. The biggest con for me and the reason it isn’t more widely used as a technique. eg. Too dangerous. A top is going to fly the rigging is connected. You are in the vinegar strokes of the back cut, it started to go or trips a bit early. You have to apply chain breakl, stow the saw wherever, all the time racing the clock as the top goes over. Grabbing a rope and then commencing to try and lower it smoothly and not shock loading the tree. I believe it is doable at a push and only experience would make it a smooth operation. As for getting it tested and approved for commercial use in the industry. I believe there would be too many factors and the HSE would be against it being used. Not that people wouldn’t use it. So that leads to the question, what would be the point in R and D, manufacturing and production if you are barely going to sell any units?

Thank you so much! Seen that earlier but wasn’t sure if it was the right thing! Signed up now

Just moved to a house with a log burner so new to this but looking for any wood that anyone wants to get rid of to start seasoning for next year… as advised to do Have been left the hut to season the wood not sure on meter squared but decent amount I think for a normal household any advice welcome

You want to see the selfies he sends me.

😂🤦Needy, I quoted your name once lad, I’d asked a few times but you’d pulled an SP/TA previously. Try not to slip back down the path of exaggeration and lies eh, it’s not good form.

I have no nemesis on here you daft bugger 😂😂😂😂😂 he’s just an anonymous wee man from Glasgow who won’t even say what he does for a living who chirps in when there’s a few likeminded types around. So can you try and articulate what you are after in regards your random NI question.

You're particularly needy this evening Davey. Race Replacement Theory playing out I expect.

Dunno. Was it the cow pie that fired you up?

Is that campagnola on the last pic of lopers as in the bicycle component company ? Quite a product range if it is

Is this the stand-in beverargino thread? Until the eroticisim evaporates from the main one.

Has Bruce Springsteen entered the chat? "Main Street" isn't something I'm familiar with. Your nemesis on here runs marathons on the regular. I don't think I'd need to worry too much about having a pint with him.

I thought that, being Jamaican and all.

It looks like it's made by the Red Stripe people.

You’ll have to be a bit more specific Mark, you replied to another member with an obscure comment about Sinn Fein then asked me what my views on NI were. I’ll ask again what are you on about. You feel safe having that wittering fool latched onto you as a wing man. Imagine having him on a night out down the Main Street 😂😂😂

SP/TA he’s got your back Mark 😂😂😂 I know you don’t absorb information quickly wee man but I don’t drink. Once again your shite bears no resemblance to the actual facts of the situation. Not having a good night are you.

I'm about to crack this unknown quality. I'll toast you to a pheasant free 8 months. Made by Campari I see, so you'd probably like it Alex.
