  1. yep....course it doesnt matter in competition AR........id probably go with something different for a work scenario where it needed to be retrieved from the ground
  2. i had a sugoi but found it too aggressive for fine pruning
  3. whats your saw of choice and why? I use the zubat 330mm. ive tried ARS and samurai. the samurai blade bends too easy. the ARS is a half decent saw for the price but overall the silkys cant be beat IMO. i prefer a curved blade, makes cutting easier and the curve also helps for hooking branches.
  4. welcome tony. is the butterfly knot tied on a single leg(secured obviously)? and do you footlock up with everything set up ready to go?
  5. heres another, wasnt so sure about this one personally
  6. has anyone had a chance to use yet? http://www.mydeo.com/videorequest.asp?XID=11055&CID=90341
  7. How many of you make it a point to do recreational climbing. in the 10 years ive been climbing ive only rec climbed a couple times.....comps not included. its a lot of fun being able to do big swings and quick branch runs without any extra gearing weighing you down.
  8. i got mine on ebay for £80 do your homework if you buy one on ebay though....theres people advertising 250mh models for £10, thats bollocks. the price SHOULD give it away if they are exagerating the strength.
  9. who is using these? I bought mine a few weeks back after seeing some in action. its already proved invaluble for pointing things out to customers that you'd otherwise spend forever trying to explain. and also they're dammed good fun! few pics, one reflected off my truck, one just shooting into the sky, and the one last one is reflecting off a tree approx 400 meters away. this ones a 100mh model
  10. cracking day in contrast to the rest of the week. got a few log orders out today and rounding up the day cutting the grass
  11. i try and avoid EVERYTHING during bank holidays
  12. the one of treesurfers i think we all liked best wont work for the headed as the trees too tall.....it will push the forums too far down the page by the time the banners and everything else are in place.....that will def go on the t-shirts though
  13. not sure. wanted to keep it simple. i personally like it
  14. haha...if i'd only known about treesurfers talents before I commissioned this other guy!!
  15. thats what the designer put on there, its just a copyright watermark
  16. i was reading an interesting thread at www.treebuzz.com that discussed using srt to gain a higher anchor point where the anchor point was questionable. run the srt line through a sling at a safe point on the trunk so if the highest anchor point fails you'll only fall to the next safety, much like lead climbing with quickdraws i suppose, or at least this is how i understood it. meanwhile you're working Ddrt off of the srt.
  17. so when is your first comp then;)
  18. haha cant say i felt the same, i enjoyed not doing tree work a couple days this week specially with the weather has it was!
  19. how long you been doing treework for now then raaf?
  20. i shouldnt worry too much about missing the S, i dont think many people will notice!
  21. just so you all know, the forum will be undergoing various changes at random times over the next few days....so if any settings change that you think are detrimental to the site please speak up.
