    Good job Josh

    044. All round power reliability and usability. The 440 is a shadow of it
  5. Pete Mctree
    Same as

    Thoughts are with him. Saw bites HURT

    Is there a rapell point on the actsafe drew?

    I have only experience of the wraptor so no comparison. Did several 1000ft in a week & it does put a smile on your face for sure. Simple & easy to operate. Very functional
  9. Pete Mctree
    It does seem differ from the wraptor in it's load carrying. The wraptor has limited the load that can be lifted prior to rope slippage at a lower level than this (I don't know the exact figure). This was down to safety if the climber got any kit snagged on a branch on the ascent. I guess the actsafe was not designed for tree usage primarily, but a broader spectrum of scenarios & working tasks Did they sponser you for that amazing volcano descent Drew?

    £6500 that's silly money. ! !!

    The actsafe are seriously expensive yes?( compared to the 2500 $ us for the wraptor) I have tried a wraptor & it's an impressive & desirable bit of kit for working tall trees

    Bought a husky 2100 & 254 in the same week. The former 2nd hand & turned out to be junk. 254 was a great saw & still got a running one in the shed- not for everyday use though

    Do stihl sell a dual port for it?
  14. Pete Mctree
    Nice work Nigel

    Would it have helped to put a rigging block up both legs? It would have compressed the union
  16. Pete Mctree
    The wraps and braids DO make a difference as they can increase the loading (less of them ) or decrease it (more of them) on the top of the hitch. Length of cord & relative cord length also factors. Diameter of cord, type along with rope selection all change things The performance of the hitch is truly a sum of it's parts
  17. Pete Mctree
    The number of wraps turns etc has everything to do with the behaviour of the hitch. Less will be "more sporty" to use your phrase & less likely to grab without some setting. More will be more dependable but with greater friction

    Cool Drew!

    Nice boot but I wore the soles out in 9 months below the balls of my feet. Abrasion from dragging I think
  20. Pete Mctree
    Such finesse !
  21. Pete Mctree
    Do you need irata or tower climbing & rigging tickets for the job?
  22. Pete Mctree
    Who cuts close to there legs & thinks that chainsaw trousers will protect them?
  23. Pete Mctree
    Astra van, Williams harness, 3 strand & a 254
  24. Pete Mctree
    Too bouncy to be practical Mike. If you want a narrow rope have you tried Samson velocity? It's the smallest in the hand of the 11.1mm ropes IMO

    Well produced vid
