As long as your groundy keeps your rope untangled from the brash.

 

I had 15 groundies on saturday and my rope still got tangled, useless t@@ts :wave:

Neath Port Talbot council were brilliant, gear wise, as the tree officer and supervisor, Nick Thomas, was experienced, and also progressive. We all had two ropes, a long and a bloody long, and a strop with Vt and pulley.

 

Cambium savers, big shot, slings, figure 8's, art friction device, shunts, ascenders, comprehensive rigging kit etc

 

Hampshire was more like; here's your 40m rope, harness and 3m strop, here's 2 prussik loops and 3 karabiners; knock yourself out.

 

Plus neath gave us sunscreen and waterproofs, and you didn't have to wait for all the stuffing to be hanging out of your chainsaw protective gear for 6 months to get new kit...
