  1. you watched it the other night too huh
  2. camelbaks are expensive but a worthwhile investment
  3. thats where i learnt it:wink: ive nearly run the armor prus on all my ropes now.....its worked without complaint on every rope so far.....definetly one of the best premium cords ive used without doubt....i've always sworn by my bog standard marine double braid but im converted!
  4. these buggers almost drew blood too!
  5. this mornings job, reduction of Chestnut. Spec was to tie it in with the height of the one behind. Tree had a few large cavities lower down plus evidence of phytophora
  6. not a great vid, and just a regular pulley, but hopefully its a start, i'll try get some better footage
  7. i believe i have a video somewhere that might help.....
  8. im not really sure what you're stuggling with to be honest mate, if you're already experienced with v.t use it really isnt any different to advance than a regular pulley.
  9. the hitch climber is intended for the VT or similar knots Mac, cant see how you will get any benefits from using it with a basic prussik i'll take a video of one in use next week if you like.
  10. cool. perhaps at this rate they can relax the laws on childbirth
  11. all chainsaw experience...better than nothing, and you're young so the hard work wont hurt ya
  12. oh yeah...i thought about it
  13. ouch indeed...those pesky european wasps aswell
  14. i was swarmed by wasps monday, got stung about 20 times 50ft up......as you can imagine i made an exceptionally fast descent. I was using a piece of armor prus that i had been climbing on for the past 2 weeks. When i inspected it there was no glazing on it, even though i was expecting it to have been totally burnt out.
  15. lets not forget the people who rushed out and bought houses because they believed what the estate agents were telling them about the house prices going up.....thus making the prices go up......this hasn't helped anyone.
  16. s'ok mate...been and gone already!
  17. its got to be better than constantly topping the tree, must save a lot of money also.....doubt its passed on to the customer mind.
  18. welcome to the forum frederic
  19. yes i think those programs have really helped to compound the damage
