ok heres a few pics i took today of the m redirect. the first 2 pics are a standard vt set up. the spliced end of the line is unclipped, fed through the krab, over the redirect crotch then back to the krab. this can be retreived without climbing back to the redirect point. this set up uses no extra hardware at all. pics 3 & 4 are showing a set up using the v.t with a hitchclimber. i used an additional krab and pulley on this set up for smoothness. you could add a friction saver on the redirect anchor point with another pulley if you wanted it super smooth and it would still be retreivable....course you'd end up using more gear.

rupe has one that works nicely leon, it just involves using more gear than i'd like

true! and welcome treegeek

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.

cool pic

seriously though, they must use woodchippers on japan.....and i highly doubt they'd import one rather than make their own?? someone must know?
-
nice job! what did you do with all the timber
-
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!

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."
-
ok consider it nearly done
-
yeah, why, you gonna get the sack for felling trees on people? haha
-
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
-
job finder you mean???
-
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
-
that is indeed the bottom line at the end of the day isnt it!
-
at least your missus attends the events with you and tries to be a part of it!
-
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.

How do I put/link video on youtube to forum?
Steve Bullman replied to silvafox's topic in General chat
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 -
welcome andreas

post a pic then i dare ya
-
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
-
you need one of those impact drivers if you've done what i think you mean
-
anything bigs good, its making a small chipper chip like a big machine which shows superior build
-
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
-
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
