  1. He is a balanced individual Huck- the chip on each shoulder balances his personality well:001_cool:
  2. http://www.honeybros.com/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodshow&ref=HB94A&sid=nszzlam3hf71n15i8j685sp45ycm2n58 (Recomending a SWL of 4 to 1 7620 / 1950 = 3.9) Hello Honey brothers , don't you think you should address current best practice or at least qualify and quantify your factors of safety ???????????
  3. Ditto Rob- I now realise how little i know about splicing. Oh and my hands are knackered too- cheers Nod
  4. Any doubt in a bit of kit then simply remove it from use. Krabs are cheap
  5. Kid's with a junk habit I bet. Kick enough of em and the next one's will just start carrying. No amount of legislation or draconian reprisals either legal or not will deter such individuals. There has been scum and haters since the begining of time- there will be at the end
  6. I would go for a larger porta-wrap eg the buckingham or the ISC. A fraction of the price
  7. Was that near the HRI Dean- the place was crawling with police this evening, plus the bus shelter wa cordened off Wish I owned a couple of pits- good for scrote and chav hunting !
  8. Just a fun get together- here is a link to the first one we had earlier this year http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1551&page=13
  9. No worries- 3 stand and a bailing twine for a pussic for Dean, oh and a handfull of magic mushrooms for Peter to float around on. Have to source your own light sabre though.
  10. Posh git- trust me it will be Asda:001_tongue: Is there anything particular kit/technique wise that people want us to cover or bring with us?
  11. The cutting was ok, but me thinks i'd have positioned the basket elsewhere. Providing the rigging line is substantial enough, shock loading is less of an issue when your not tied in
  12. I will put some directions up later this week. Not bad from manchester a it is only 5/10 mins form the M62
  13. Bump. A week away now
  14. A wide bearth because you forgot to get her anything !
  15. my friends - those on here and those not are my fiercest critics and i'm not famous for holding back with them either. So does your inference of favoritism allow you to evade the other questions asked of you?
  16. Mani- discussion requires an understanding of reason and opinion. Sorry but it's one of those irritating truths. With a closed mindset the climber would be topping out with a piece of manilla using a half hitch. Weilding a cross cut and an axe to boot. All inputs are valid for me- I take away what I need and learn as a result. p.s. I'm twice as vacant as that and three times more ignorant.
  17. Last time I was in Essex the blokes were tame compared to the women- the blokes were the ones that looked hunted:scared1:
  18. If your as good as you are arrogant I stand in awe.....................................................
  19. Ah ok- next to the "white trainers and hoodies about sign" lol
  20. Good call- can't be half arsed trees with a butt like that!
  21. All those blokes huddling together to evade the wild animals then
  22. You miss the point- there is seldom right and wrong. However the judgement on appearance shows a narrow minded approach which is equally if not more dangerous. For the record i would have used a felling cut as it was a vertical stem.
  23. "do you take a cheque" and "even if I pay cash can i get a reciept" are always answered with the answer YES
  24. Never judge a book by it's cover- some half-baked ameteurs like myself might just have cut a tree down before. It's amazing what the inept can achieve:001_tongue:
  25. looked amazing fun, although some of those picks did look a bit twitchy. Me want a go
