Did they just fire you into the tree with the Big Shot ??:biggrin:

 

:biggrin:

 

That'd be far too much like fun in the workplace and I'm sure that there's an EU directive against that.

 

But it is amazing how quick you can get up a tree with some big blokey climber type hanging off the end off your rope :lol:. The more rotund amonst you are usefull :thumbup:

I think BMI is now seen as a flawed measurement here. Rather shape, ratio and waist size are the current in vogue measurements. On the BMI scale I am morbidly obese - 6'4" and fluctuating between 16 and 17 stone!!! On the new system I'm still in trouble having a waist size just over 38". 40" is real bad, 38" borderline and less ok etc. When I was a 120 a day log, bar and rail cutter I was 12 stone. Old and fat now! :laugh1:

im 6ft 5 and 12stone, tis handy being tall, gives you good reach.

 

We had a chap on our course at college, must have been similar weight to you, i had to rescue him on my cs38 assesment :scared1::crying:

 

There was only one harness that would fit him, he was a good climber when it came to take downs though. Not sure about reductions, never worked with him on one.
