    I was talking about the length, they should be adjusted as long as possible
  2. Pete Mctree
    geckos are more comfortable for me, others prefer trad spikes. Are the ones you using adjusted correctly?
  3. Pete Mctree
    I have a 20, 35, 40 and 45. 40 is most used
  4. Pete Mctree
    Self rescue if your cut is usually the ONLY option. Time is against you, and you don't have much of it!

    or if the casualties line is intact, you can transfer to that and use you own lifeline to move you both back to the centre of the tree. But i like your idea better Peter

    i'm going to bring my thermals if it does not warm up soon!

    If you are unsure of the length required, you could always phone them and ask for recomendations. A 35 or 40m rope is usually sufficient for 90% of tree work imho

    Another method is to get steradent, or any other cleaner for false teeth. drop a couple of tablets in and leave overnight

    it's about habitat creation, not visual amenity. I think you missunderstand it's function Butch

    If the roots are suspect then not being in the tree is always an option. Just thinking out loud here and trying to think of a way of avoiding alot of awkward saw work
  11. Pete Mctree
    Ever considered winching the tops off where applicable with as small a back cut as required to give a nice rip/fracture effect
  12. Pete Mctree
    belt here. Can't stand a gusset full of sawdust. I always undo it though when i put my harness on
  13. Pete Mctree
    you threatening to give me another spanking Matt, i really enjoyed the last one:)
  14. Pete Mctree
    I noticed that too hehe. Awesome piece of iron well worked:icon14:

    Firefox is a different browser as opposed to using microsoft's Internet Explorer.
  16. Pete Mctree
    I'm using firefox too. You lot still using the crap IE?
  17. Pete Mctree
    Works for me. Loads of pretty ladies, but i bet there aint an angel amoungst em:wave:
  18. Pete Mctree
    :icon14:They also charge at a premium rate so to fund the franchise. Do some more research and good luck!
  19. Pete Mctree
    The strength is not an issue for me. I have broken 2 now, both caught by a rigging lines in awkward situations. If it had been a steel krab, i'd have been in real crap! To be honest there weakness is reasuring
  20. Pete Mctree
    Why does everyone say that?:wave:
  21. Pete Mctree
    I hope not, i'm taking my camera
  22. Pete Mctree
    Would be nice to get the mewp out too if you have time Dean
  23. Pete Mctree
    works well. I have taken the gate off mine to make the hooking/unhooking one handed
  24. Pete Mctree
    tree motion here, it suits my climbing style well as i don't "sit" in the harness much
  25. Pete Mctree
    Ah So that's what you meant when you said having sex was like shooting pool with a piece of rope:scared:
