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

Earl grey- weak black with slice of lemon on a real hot day

Coffee black, strong with sugar and by the gallon please
-
The spikes remind me of caulks. Great in the woods for hopping over logs etc. Those look useless for most applications, boots look ok though
-
The only drawback I can percieve is if the saw gets caught in the cut. The faliure would have to be of the lanyard or saw body before seperation.

Anyone else on here an avid book worm? I've just spent too many hours finishing Tom Robins book "Jitterbug Perfume" Awkward in style and construction in parts, but the humour is dark and fierce, the politics incorrect and the laughs both loud and subtle. Enjoyed it immensley. Who has some good recomendations? and what you reading?

And a track from his old man- Roy Harper [ame] [/ame] good old hippy crap lol

It's just so unfair haveing to sit back and smile and watch them walk past lol :wave:
-
I'm not 100% on this, but I think you are supposed to clip such a system to the primary attachment point on your harness, as opposed to a single side D. If a slip and fall takes place it would load the side D in a manner it was not constructed to withstand.

I agree Andy. Lost cause, it's only a matter of time now before he gets " the talk"
-
just being my usual uncaring insensitive self
-
Does that mean your running away and not having another drink with us Steve?
-
Are you insinuating that because the boots are fabricated in Portugal they are in some way inferior? Rubish. Think before you make offensive, inaccurate, sweeping generalisations please.
