    They do some smart stuff for sure. I don't want anything too permanent though or anything thats a hassle to remove when I want to.
  2. Steve Bullman
    Yep near on 20 years Ddrt for me, so this is quite a massive change.
  3. Steve Bullman
    I dabbled with this today, using an old petzl croll I found along with a dmm revolver. Simple and quick enough to set up and use.

    I think my chest harness isn't ideal, don't like the idea of the neck tethers though. I'm amazed they haven't been classified a safety hazard to be honest.
  5. Steve Bullman
    Nothing particularly hard to be honest, I'm just not feeling it at the moment. I've lost all fluidity, and yes I expected that to happen....but even so I can't see it will ever be as fluid a technique as Ddrt. There is always going to be stopping and starting, faffing around attaching ascenders etc etc. I will try the freeclimb technique you mention tomorrow.

    they look quite smart cheers

    Hard cases i'm after
  8. Steve Bullman
    Some nice options on that page, cheers Stan

    Can't go wrong with a treemotion IMO. There are a stack of harnesses on the market that I have never had a chance to play with though.

    too tall
  11. Steve Bullman
    Cheers, i'll swing by and have a look at them.

    Too tall, need to fit in the back of a pick up with a tonneau cover.

    Looking at something for storing my rigging and climbing gear in the back of the truck. These look ideal but a little pricey Zarges Eurobox Range - Aluminium Storage Boxes for Organising and 4x4 Expeditions Anyone recommend anything similar? Has to be waterproof and sturdy.
  14. Steve Bullman
    Are they going to actually manage them as proper pollards do you think?
  15. Steve Bullman
    haha thats the very first thing it reminded me of too
  16. Steve Bullman
    Not having a problem with the kiwi climber pantin kicking out, but then I don't have a problem with the new petzl one either funnily enough. Still disliking srt
  17. Steve Bullman
    Yeah I always said I didn't see the point of srt for removals anyway, but I did say I was going to climb exclusively on this set up till I got the hang of it. There's plenty of time allowed on this particular job as it happens so no worries there. I do feel like a beginner for sure

    Taking down a decent sized oak today and not enjoying a second of it
  19. Steve Bullman
    Danish oil I believe?

    I fear you won't get an answer to question 1

    Hours

    Steve Bullman replied to Bird's topic in General chat

    Same as this when it comes to treework. In reality i'm always doing something though, so probably about 12 hours a day, maybe half that on weekends

    I'd say if you're totally inexperienced with outdoor work you try and get some days in with local companies before you invest in getting training and tickets. You might end up deciding its not for you after your first hard days graft battling the elements
  23. Steve Bullman
    I hadn't really considered that
  24. Steve Bullman
    Not much is
  25. Steve Bullman
    Cheers for the link.
