  1. rupe has one that works nicely leon, it just involves using more gear than i'd like
  2. true! and welcome treegeek
  3. What methods do you use for re-directing your climbing line and why? im especially interested in any retreivable re-directs people have found or invented themselves. personally, i carry a double pulley on my harness attached to a krab with a short sling, i can use that as a redirect but its not retreivable. if i want a retreivable re-direct i use the M-technique. i'll get a pic of that setup tomorrow if anyones not familiar with it. i prefer the M.....although its not as smooth as a traditional re-direct with a double pulley i think its safer as it doesnt side load your main anchor point like a traditional redirect can.
  4. seriously though, they must use woodchippers on japan.....and i highly doubt they'd import one rather than make their own?? someone must know?
  5. nice job! what did you do with all the timber
  6. so anyway back to the original topic....i think just about everyone in this area at the moment lacks work.....and because of that theres plenty staff kicking round! few months time it will probably be completely the reverse!
  7. ok i just copy pasted this from the proclimber shop site "We regret that we have had to close the forum, due in part to the amount of spam it attracted and also due to restraints on our time. We are really sorry we have had to take this step."
  8. yeah, why, you gonna get the sack for felling trees on people? haha
  9. i dont know, they mentioned maybe closing it the other day, and now the site doesnt work, so maybe not some of us put a lot of time into posting there....too bad if its been closed
  10. the past 3 days have been pretty good, as threads are building up theres more to read and subsequently more to post on. im fairy happy how things are progressing
  11. that is indeed the bottom line at the end of the day isnt it!
  12. at least your missus attends the events with you and tries to be a part of it!
  13. seems to me a lot of people try a v.t or other advanced hitch but dont give it enough time before reverting to a prussik, blakes. i dont think anyone would go back to a standard hitch if they gave it a chance. personally i loved it from day one.
  14. on yutube, just to the right of the video playing theres a box with a heading URL. copy and paste the address in that box into your post
  15. matty, this is for setting a line from the ground with a throwine. its impossible to get it round a single branch on a whorly pine, this way you dont need to
  16. you need one of those impact drivers if you've done what i think you mean
  17. anything bigs good, its making a small chipper chip like a big machine which shows superior build
  18. i think the jensen is a a great chipper, i think it out peforms a premier but doesnt seem to be quite so bullet proof
  19. heres a method i use for tying a rope off when setting a pull line. its sometimes hard to isolate one limb to send up a running bowline, specially on pines for example. what i do is send up the throwline into the crown and out the other end....then i send my pull line up and tie the end off at the base of the tree aboved the felling cut
  20. it is ocean polyester, dunno who stitches them
