I always MEWP with my 45m climbing line. I'm going outta there if I get stuck. The instructor didn't like that suggestion lol

 

 

Yup. Me too. Abseiled out of one a while back which developed a fault.

Turned out it didn't run out of fuel. I didn't notice it cut out, the groundie did. He thought it was out of petrol so filled it up, wouldn't start. I checked the stop button on the cage- fine, still wouldn't start after five mins he found the emergency stop button on the base which I had dropped a branch on. Got going again. It has a hand pump to get you down in an emergency but I've never had to use it. Cup of tea? At a place like that? No chance, I'd sooner work at a smaller place with a friendlier owner!

It always sucks when the client isn't forth coming with tea and coffee. Mind you nothing worse than when you are waiting for the morning coffee and you think they have forgotten so you get in the tree and get to the top for the client to come out with the coffee!
