Spent most of the weekend at home wearing my 4SRT Chester and foot ascender over my sock?? When I moved from Prussick to Spiderjack I just bought the gear and used it on the next work climb.A good size Beech reduction as I recall then London Plane re-Pollard and by day three which was decent dismantle I was quite proficient in it.Same when I started with a ZigZag (Which was a lot easier) Had i sussed on the first job.But this time i have spent a couple of weeks looking at hours of SRT related stuff mainly on you tube.Which systems work best with what rope,Chest attachments,Foot ascenders,knee ascenders etc etc.I've been tying alpine butterflies into everything,bunny ears and even a Texas tug or too! Retrieval methods are my favourite watch at the moment.I have never prepared myself so well for a crossover into a new way of Tree climbing,access or movement.I know I am going to love it.Just waiting for Storm Dennis to blow over.In the meantime I am sitting here in the dark with a gale blowing outside watching Pfannerman as Rich Rule suggested??Familiarising myself with all my new gear.I did leave the house to go to the gym to work off my first burger in a while.Plain Buffalo which was first class...with a few onions and potatoes.Quite healthy apparently.But I did feel the need to work it off the next morning

Not disputing that. Lose the potatoes and bread and you'll be getting there

Just done my food shop.Lived off this over the last few months.I just Rotate between Chicken breast,Turkey and Salmon.Start the day with Espresso then Oats with two cubes of 90-100% cocoa.No more than the bowl will hold.Then my meal in the afternoon.Fruit before six.Nothing after Six except water,about two litres.It,s not exciting but it,s keeping me full of energy,Focused and in the best shape of my life....And of course Zero alcohol(That,s the best bit for me)
