  1. I'd think very carefully about ever telling anyone that
  2. there will almost certainly be a rot in the wound if its been there any time.
  3. i always wake about 4, feel wide awake, then by he time i get back to sleep and wake for work i feel like crap
  4. well thats quite incredible!! cant wait to try it out!
  5. where from? whats the battery life like?
  6. it is saphrophytic as you say, causes the wood to become very brittle
  7. nice vid reg....i use the same theory also when i rig....i nearly always clip the crab on like you did, but with a cross in the rope before hand to take the loading. im sure theres 101 reasons why this isnt the best way to do it, but for smaller stuff, providing you're using a good krab such as the ISC big dan, i really dont see a problem. perhaps this should get its own thread sometime.
  8. really bob? im surprised
  9. monkey, i cant be arsed with either, too much like hard work, i was just allowing for access
  10. yep, safest way would be a tirfor on one of those trees in the background, doesnt look like a huge amount of holding wood to rip off
  11. you know its getting bad when you spot cheap fuel and pull in to fill up despite having a half tank still.......price was 124.9!
  12. throwline attached to a micro pulley that pulls the hitch off? that the one?
  13. nice laz...i need to talk to you actually about a new srt technique im working on.
  14. very good of you to arrange this thanks Nod, i'll be there:thumbup1: I might just add to anyone considering going, it would be a great opportunity to pass up, so if you can be there i would encourage you to!
  15. thats exactly what i mean:lol:
  16. i aint camping anywhere that i have to pack up at a recockulus time in the morning again
  17. your call....but if you do fell em, can i buy the timber? haha
  18. i should think so justin
  19. so was it the same TO that told you it was a sycamore?
  20. from the picture id say that wound looks very decayed and runs deep into the trunk.
  21. we've all been there....unfortunately, till you trade places and become the faster climber you dont realize how little it matters.
