rec climbing does not require the same speed functionality of kit used commercially
-
It's only slipping in one place?
-
Can you put an extra wrap on your prussic? It probably will solve the problem Sometimes when cordage is new it can be a little slippy
-
Something to ponder - Get a really long rope, cut it into 2. Then, whilst using your new 2 rope system, pretend your using both ends of the same rope. Win, win situation with a massively reduced chance of hurting yourself!!!!

Not Bob's gig. Planning has there own idiots
-
Can you repollard (in this case re-coppice) without consent?
-
Junkie scum are often the universal commonality joining nations.
-
Pop-up piston & port work looks great. Be nice to see the gains from all that hard work. Would it not have been easier to buy a Stihl instead
-
Look OK for the money - not sure about the colour.....
-
Link to the jacket?
-
I think it came from srt access. The inability/difficulty of descending due to gear limitations made other avenues be explored. Not relevant for working IMO.
-
Nice work. Was there a reason for your back-cut being so high when you felled the stem?
-
When rigging, a length of rigging line can often be more effective than a sling as it is more adjustable in length, but not as easy to carry. Who uses there slings for life support & rigging?
-
The GRCS has recently been upgraded. The harken winch has been lengthened to allow more wraps with larger cordage diameters & the fairlead has been fabricated from metal by all accounts.
-
The beer knot is great for creating endless slings. Not something that is usually seen here in the UK as we usually buy stitched slings
-
Don't knot them ever - it reduces there strength massively. Larks foot if you need to have a captive attachment
-
think before you speak & communicate clearly
-
Since when have husky saws been worth the purchase of a parachute? I'd not trust one Bob. Harness attachment points should have appropriately rated attachment points for saws, so are they just a fabricated bit of kit with no real need for them ???
-
Top notch & powerful felling saw. Only competitor is the 441. 560 is a smaller saw - not comparable IMO
-
link bob please, no image being shown. If we were sensible & bought Stihl saws would we need this mysterious contraption?
-
Seems realistic - especially when they are not used/carried regularly
-
Great work on being proactive Dave. How long do you think it would have taken to access the tree if the climber used spikes? - either with the access line (run against or near to the stem) or without?
-
Where is that Tom. Looks like a great collection
-
Your too cheap. How can you afford fuel, saws, vehicles, replacements for those, bars, chains etc etc & still have anything more than beer money left?
-
Never seen kit like the masadam in the UK. Shame, used the in the US & was impressed
