  1. there was some footage of the boat in action but it was pretty crap...... one of the guys fell in too....i heard a bang, looked down and he was in up to his chest....nice stagnant water.....i laughed like hell! unfortunately no footage. colin went home and got changed, and also had a glass of whisky to get the taste out...swallowed a mouth full of the moat when he went in lol
  2. the closest it got to the lines tensioned was probably 2ft....but obviously as soon as the weight was on the line it was well clear......had to get as close as possible otherwise the stuff would have just ended up in the drink
  3. as if yes not every bit went smoothly obviously. i did include one of the gaffs in the original edit, but the video came in at 12 minutes and had to reduce it to come within youtubes 10 minute time frame. doesnt make for interesting viewing watching me faffing about trying to get limbs unstuck either:biggrin:
  4. looks almost like a bald man wearing a really long skirt...thats all i can think of
  5. love the shadow effect on the wood henge(is that what you call it?), except one of the shadows is a REALLY odd shape...what made that?
  6. wont there be palax being demo'd at the show?
  7. dont be silly mate, its a request. not mandatory. i appreciate many of you dont do your own websites and dont expect anyone to go to the expense of getting someone to put it up specially
  8. i'd disagree with this statement..... as i understand it(with my limited knowledge of rope strucutre) kernmantle ropes have their strength in the core unlike arb ropes which is spread between the core and cover.....rock climbing ropes are kernmantle, but the only arb rope i know of which is specifically kernmantle is the New England Fly...and maybe Donaghy's NRG. im ready to be enlightened though by you people in the know discuss
  9. if i had some you'd be more than welcome
  10. that would probably be a good way forward:001_smile: cheers john
  11. your web guy would be able to sort that easy enough. regarding selling your kit from your site...im not sure the effort and finances involved would make it worthwhile when you have a better(and larger) target audience here that you can sell to for free?
  12. Some of you have links to your websites in your signatures...whilst this is fine for your business websites(so long as it doesnt infringe the forum guidelines or lead to a website competing with the forum sponsors), as you know link building creates a better presence for us all in google, therefore it would be expected(and appreciated) for you to reciprocate this from your own websites thanks
  13. chris, my comment regarding hms krabs wasnt to suggest they dont fit, more that the ovals are the recommended krab
  14. you can tie it absolutely anyway you want. it just becomes a slightly different knot. sometimes i even put a cross over inbetween the braids...making it an xt
  15. naturally its you being daft:001_tongue: it doesnt look like ive done much to be fair...luckily i have the video footage to prove there was some substantial sized lumps removed
  16. thats fantastic....hope you have a better class of people over there though, some lout would set that on fire in a jiffy over here
  17. i cant remember, im sure ive seen that done though at a comp one year....think they may have drilled a hole thinking about it. i use a sawpod these days so its not an issue.
  18. if i remember rightly...a tiewrap will fit in the slot there
  19. varied from tree to tree. couple had to have couple limbs out of the tips, but most of them, up to about 70ft i guess
  20. so the hitch climber is designed to work best with oval krabs....by your reasoning, should they also redesign the product for those users who dont wish to replace their hms krabs?
  21. at least this isnt going round in circles
  22. so what you're saying is you've been sat on the toilet for the past hour and telling your missus you're constipated
