    I use google maps on iphone. Its good, but if i'm stuck in a bad area it doesn't work which sucks. Its ok once its set up from a decent location though and it won't just fail as you enter a bad area.

    Yes but at a different point, which has been considerably strengthened

    I'm sure they have already done so, and would have issued a full recall if there was any risk of failure.

    The positioner is awesome, twice the price of a standard grab though obviously.

    Funnily enough I had a message from them earlier, the courier couldnt find your address. I am just waiting for them to confirm what address I gave them before. Will be in touch if theres an issue. The other winner of the bandit merchandise received his a couple days ago.

    I was just browsing treestuff and came across this TreeStuff - ABR Triple Threat Anyone know anything about it?

    Its a pretty standard design thats been around for years now. I used to use a very similar one. Are you using it on steel core lanyard or rope? I've never tried one on a rope but at a guess I would say there are better options. On a wirecore it does what its supposed to, can get a bit tough if it gets sapped up though. Its a dependable device.

    haha, thanks for the compliment. I know my limits however. The ideas are mine and I do as much of it as I can myself, but I do sub out the more technical elements to people who are more cut out for the job than me. In answer to the OP though, get a copy of wordpress and take a bit of time learning it. Its very versatile and you can get something half decent looking up in no time once you have the hang of it.

    I do t generally let others share my kit so it's never a problem. I think in all my years all I've had damaged by others is 2 ropes. 1 was a climbing rope cut with a chainsaw, the other was a rigging line that I was using to clear a storm damaged tree. I needed the groundie to tie a midline knot and pull a trunk with the truck, rather than doing a bowline on a bite(which he knew how to do) he tied a stupid know which obviously become un doable right in the middle of my 60m line

    I use a rigging plate beneath a petzl tandem pulley then just clip a return line to the rigging plate, and belay it from a krab or pulley set up near me in the tree. You may be able to about make it out in this video. [ame] [/ame] Sometimes just having a bunch of slings is quicker, but in the case of the video it was quite a walk for the groundies to bring the slings my side of the moat

    How far was the crane sat? Looks like it should have been able to take bigger pieces?
