Welcome Gareth

you got it - also more kindly known as Lancashire

More like an exile to the cursed earth, either that or troll world:scared: lol
-
You have made an important point between belief and the perception of religeous belief put forward by the media and those in a position of power. I will also refrain from an almost identical rant, as i would also be in line for the "long walk" lol
-
i think you misunderstand what I mean by respectfull. I personally respect peoples religeous beliefs, and am understanding of them, in many ways I admire there faith. However i have no repect for the organisations which choose to manipulate these people, dictating there actions through dogma and dividing people by creating factions and sects. "When dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases" -- Robert Anton Wilson I just asked for a rational no abusive style of reply

huh? Expand please

I have ended up re-reading "the mists of avalon" by Marion zimmer Bradley Good telling of the aurthurian tales from a diferent perspective, and since i have not read it for over a decade enjoying it imensley

Sorry no tips Ben- It's a stunning country, I have happy memories of it and If i was your age I would be heading there also. Good luck!

I have had good report of his workshops, with the exception of his QTRA, as the system is too vauge and inaccurate

One scar- the result of this cut, broke my nose twice, broken 4 fingers and dislocated a thumb. Popped a couple of ribs out of place and numerous stitches (about 20) and butterflys. Only the pic is a saw cut, and a few stitches due to silky cuts. www.arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arm.jpg (gruesome picture, dont open if you have a weak stomach)

To quote a climber in Oz I worked with "Concentrate on what your doing -Not where your doing it...." It has served me well. The day I have no fear is the day i leave the industry
-
Depends on the question being asked- in this case it's a yes or no and perhaps a little more, and if people can be respectfull, which I hope they can, I can't see an issue. Pesonally i'm not a religeous man. but I know quite a few local arborists who are
-
My issues were not so much fear, but confidence. Not with the climbing but my limitations of working the tree and assesing the balance distance etc. especially pulling top over. The needle that a little fear provides is what keeps us sharp and alive
-
I saw that yesterday on the box. A new tack on a blast from the past- way cool

Your need taste and a hearing test then:wave:

The hitch climber is more suited to use with the VT or distal. With a split tail and micro-pulley (unless it's used as a vt, i.e. hand over hand ascent then tend the slack)) there would be little benifit to you. Have you seen this? http://www.treemagineers.com/products_03.php

The lime green rope looks like the new tachyon in a better colour. To retrieve you could you not put a loop of throw-line at the end of your line- loop the retriever ball through that and retrieve it with the tail end. Otherwise put longer cord on the ball and clove-hitch it to the tail end. Hard to think of a solution with feeding the spliced eye through the pulley- sounds like you need to indulge in some more retail therapy
-
Angled cuts are hard to wedge, or lever. Also the grain is harder to read- too easy to cut through your hinge if it does not run vertical
