Grief for not using wire core.

[Brett]

I never leave pegs. 1 I don't need the mental help from having a peg in the first place. 2. If I do slip I dont want a peg in the ribs etc and 3. They hang stuff up when rigging.

 

You wouldnt need pegs to make you feel safe if you choked you mainline.

 

I dont need pegs to make me feel safe, You've got to be tactful where you leave the pegs so nothing gets hung up, I like having a peg to take the weight off the spikes and much more comfortable for cutting, and i like to have my rigging block above a peg where poss, like some one said before the dangerous thing is slipping and falling not the pegs. more than one way to skin a badger.

No stubs!

 

Sometimes though.

Everything has its use in the right place. I hear you on the rigging point placement. I just don't like having them on the stick. I always have the option of resting with the line choked off too. I guess its whatever gets the job done for you and everyone is different:001_smile: Andy makes a good point about doing what your employer wants. Good thing I'm self employed:thumbup1:

Exactly, that tree was on steep ground so when we felled the trunk it would have no chance of rolling, this was a unnecessary precaution though as the stick was so heavy it stayed still, can't be to careful though, even had a chain around the butt.

Now that I didn't expect, I wasn't actually serious, you cant use anything but the grillons rope without taking it out of its CE mark and the safety elf's wont like that, at the moment its got a bit of imori in it and that's a tad fat making it harder to use.

Unlikely if you leave pegs every few feet.

 

No thank you.

Pegs every few feet sounds like nightmare but Each to there own

So you are using Imori when you shouldn't be?

 

I'm telling!

I cant really understand how you would be in a situation where you would plough a 066 through your flip line? not accusing, just curious, I'm always super cautious when working with big saws in this situation.

if you knew the guy i used to work with, you would understand:laugh1:
