Fun & wrestling with Bear

After doing similar with the 1st one, I have only done the exhaust mod. Best gains by far (& they sound fantastic )

Do you find a difference in performance ? Never used anything but NGK

Any help/tips/advice for working on a leaning pole?
Pete Mctree replied to will.morris's topic in Climbers talk
I would also avoid Working below the stem. Lifting a knee & bracing yourself against your strop with it can help -
Race you

if he chooses to buy husky does he have local dealer support?

I would use a fishermans or similar cinching knot over a bowline or fig 8. Helps keep the krab orientated correctly, reducing the chance of side loading & is just tidier.

Bad news Ian. Sorry to hear
-
It's 11.7mm Peter.Was looking for bigger, but it is my choice at the moment
-
It's not CE marked yet so they are not going to stock it (I phoned the other day) Looks like a choice of imori or a 11.7mm line
-
Not going anywhere at this rate.......

There is a difference Josh. Ian's cut (which i also use ) undercuts the face cut, allowing the piece to go of it's own accord if it can & makes sure the saw does not get pulled. Same principal

I have done a little crane work & I don't think it is a crane signal. I'm glad you are willing to discuss the signals. I am by no means saying I am right, I am just interested in developing such things. Thanks, Pete
-
We have no formal signals, however there has developed - over time a common series of signals. Stop, for example is one (or two ) arms outstretched palms facing the target person. During roadside work, a climber, after indicating a readiness to do so, will wait until the groundy lowers there hand to cut - the removal of the stop sign indicating go. This is often accompanied by a thumbs up, eye contact & a positive nod of the head. The thumbs-up is universal & seems much more natural than arms outstretched (would be difficult to repeat consistently for me). I think such signals are too easy to over analyse, when what would be more important to emphasize is good positive body language by the signaler.
-
I think we have all used similar signals at times & they naturally develop within a workplace. The ones illustrated are mostly good & common sense, however; Why are there 2 signals for stop? Stop is stop, no options be it an emergency or not? The OK signal cannot be done with 1 hand. So do you have to put down a saw, or rigging/pulling rope or even stop or go board. Useless when working as a pair.

Those Makitas remind me of the old Jonsereds - boxy with a straight front handle

Has Timbrel not been removed from the approved list now? ALong with garlon 4 & some other glyphosphate based herbicides?

Samson-The Strongest Name in Rope, VORTEX As a Samson stockist, do you have it?

meindl airsteams -9 months then skip. You must not drag brash & walk on hard surfaces if they last 2 years.

What cut did you use?

The saw sounds ported & the man knows how to put timber on the floor:thumbup1:

I prefer special k for breakfast

Why test? There is little enough trust among people as is. I, despite my obvious common sense convictions on the worksite, would & encourage others to refuse. It's an invasion of my life & humanity to even suggest it. Oh & yes I would pass a test
-
There is no acceptable level of intoxication - irrelevant of substance. Why is there even this discussion? What people do away from work - who knows? But if they turn up under the influence or take drugs on the work site - BYE BYE !!!!

I love the 560 but it's ergonomics are designed for limbing & it feels long & awkward aloft.
