  2. Knut hitch is my preference, its more compact than the other common ones, great bite and release of the rope, you can add extra turns if more friction is needed. Spliced E2E is nicer than sewn too. Cant buy them, not at a sensible price. Hitch climber doesnt interest me but there are other ways to do the same thing, useful for going back up if the anchors already set. I used it today just to get photo, you can use a 2mm cord prussiked on the eye/knot side of your rope with the other end on the tails of your friction hitch. Its a bit of a pain for changeovers - I use a mini carabiner so it can be unclipped easily. I dont often use it.
  3. And in the real world most of us live in here in the UK 😂 Inflation up everything else heading south, the fuller picture certainly not better 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  7. Another one to consider is Camp Tree Access ST, I like it. Treeaustria Pro appears good, no knotted rope bridge, decent Cobra buckles. Single bridge, not sure if you can add a second, I like having two when I'm using multiple ropes. Only dislike is that it has Petzl Ring Open's, or similar, for the bridge attachement, I sort of distrust them.

    Spikes

    Only the bottom should be filed, maintaining the curve, the triangular sides and spine should be left as they are. Short is not a problem you just need the correct shape. Only only the first 10mm -20mm goes into the wood., well dependjng on tree and how thick or rotten the bark is. Mine are just right I think. I saw a video some time back, the climber slipped and spiked the inside of his calf. Blunt or sharp, they will still easily go through chainsaw trousers and into a leg. Scares me that does.
  10. I've just pulled a thorn out of his forehead, presumably from going so enthusiastically face-first at his work.

For those whom seem to think this is somehow ok. The first version and its powers will never be enough.
  12. 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😂
  13. Bit long winded but it does cover the whole farcical event.

    Mast

    Perceived wisdom is that having a super abundance of seeds one year and then a dearth of seed for a few years is so that species that feed on the seeds die down in the years of famine and then cannot expand their populations in the mast year fast enough to consume all of the glut, so some seeds are left to germinate as the next generation. If you have more frequent mast years as the climate conditions change then the predator populations increase. Having avoided the death bed by not smoking I wonder what cravings are left. I seem to have lost the ability to intersperse a reply into the original text.
  16. Is this the point at which I tell him he needs a 251, and I just happen to have a lovingly cared for immaculate example, one careful owner? 🤔 If your pockets are deep enough, you can't go wrong with a 261, cracking saw. List price of that is within £10 of a 391, and I know which one I'd rather have.
  17. There's an official guidance document, in the past I've emailed that back, quoted the example wording on the planning portal, and asked them to show me what guidance they are working to so I can submit something acceptable if what I put in is wrong. Application validated.
  18. Good bit of kit, petrol power option. Zero hands on the return, better than one hand, stop height set on rod at the back.
  19. @Iain Hickinbottom Also in the context future safety. I'd be wary of advertising your mobile number on a public forum like this. You never know who's looking, and there's ways of tracing numbers to addresses in some cases I think. Better to just get people to PM you instead. Best of luck with the recovery.
  20. I was in Canada in 1995 watching the Ryder cup on American TV. Europe won, and what I remember was how terrible the American commentators were about Europe's win.
  21. Patricia Crowther, aged 97. The UK's oldest witch. 'UK's oldest witch' Patricia Crowther dies aged 97 WWW.BBC.CO.UK She created the BBC Radio Sheffield show "A Spell of Witchcraft" about Wicca paganism in the 1950s.
  22. one I planted as an acorn
  23. Does anyone know if there's a way of setting up the Sthil Pro-Com units, if you won't (or rather, refuse to have ) a Google/Apple account, on your phone or computer ? I really want to buy some sets, for over a year now, but just don't want my data 'shared' with all those anonymous tech 'partners'.. 🙄
