Akimbo

[MattyF]

I think I'll have a play with the spring tonight and have it ready for tomorrow. 👍🏻

As for the hands, I always wear gloves so it's not been a problem. But it felt very stiff and different as soon as I got it unwrapped.

 

 

The Stirling didn't milk ?

Mines still milking.

Matty. Mine hasn't milked either. The day we got them and I tried to set mine up on Cougar, Ben had his new htp in the tree. The first time down the rope the Akimbo almost made a bow wave out of the cover.

 

Mine hasn't done anything like that.

What colour Stirling do people have?

 

Mine is the red htp in 11mm.

[MattyF]

it's yellow not sure of the diameter!

Mines yellow. VERY bright yellow, 11mm. And not milked today. I noticed it had quite a few kinks as I was redirecting which was different from the cougar. Not that it was a problem, just an observation.

We all know it's because Im such a fat fook Rich but it was kind of you not to point it out.. All you 6ft4 whippets need to put some weight on if you want to milk ropes like a pro like me

I must be putting on a stone every evening!

How was it to climb on though after it milked?

[MattyF]

It just milked again but I'm hoping that's it,I've only done about 5-6 large trees on it now and I keep thinking I've got it this time but it's definitely not as bad as what it was.

I'm just curious but is the Akimbo supposed to be oriented that way round Matty? I thought the 'beaks' should be facing away from you.
