big shot is it worth getting

[Mark Bolam]

Hahahaha!

David only bought one so his wife can fire bottles of Shiraz over the walls of Pentonville when he is inevitably imprisoned for his crimes against trees, which include retention and monitoring....

Totally off topic but, why do they call it Pentonville?

[brisbane trees]

^ me too.

 

It's been the go-to line placement tool for a long time in our industry (as time goes for us, what with constant climbing technology improvements...). There's definitely an option for line placement now, and one that's going to be even more fun that a giant sling shot: the APTA: Air Powered Tree Access.

 

It's an air gun. You stuff the throw bag in one end and pump it up, either with a hand pump or I think you can use a compressor, maybe? Anyway, it's from those loud folks over in the USA. I saw it on Treestuff and they do ship to the UK, and most other nice countries.

 

Disclaimer: I haven't actually seen or used one, but I reckon they'll take off before long, knowing how arborists like new, shiny things, especially ones that fire stuff out of a cannon and over trees.

Yes deffo worth it. I made my own trigger using a Crossbow trigger and a 2:1 pull down. Easy.

Guilty on all counts, except it would of course be a 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape

good choice

[Mark Bolam]

You're sooooo uneducated David.

 

I bet I can get far more drunk on my Aussie Shiraz than you can on your Chat-nuff-de-Papillon.

 

I am prepared to challenge you anywhere, and extensive tasting from each others bottles is allowed.

Mark, that's a given.

 

Although in the interest of fairness, I think you should try to drink the Shiraz a little less like Ribena and a bit more like fine port

 

 

Arbormonkey, unlike Mark and fine wine, you would not regret indulging in a piece of Arb ergonomic line placing history
