  5. I'm only 5'9 - i hide my pies well
  6. 82kg. lighter than I was, better put another pie in the oven:lol:
  7. What garbage. Just because you don't weigh 9stone your not allowed lightweight spikes? your going to say you have to be 14 stone before you can hang a 660 of your harness next?
  8. If it's hand-held. Make sure it has an AV system!!!!

  14. Happy birthday Dave. Hope you feel better than you look
  15. Some load, yes, but minimal. But if you work through the system you will see where the load is applied - through the climbing line and hitch. When i tried the system out, the prussic was made from some 3mm cord!!!! and functioned perfectly Point taken about the inconveniance though
  16. Why? It is not load-bearing, it merely provides the adjustment for the system
  17. Either climb the tree or decline. Knowing your limits is not failiure. BSing is another story
  18. Nice to meet you Reg. Your passion and drive towards perfecting your products is truley admirable. I look forward to watching it develop and prove itself an indespensable tool.
  19. It was an amazing weekend. So glad I made the effort to attend and meet the Treehouse crew in person. I was made more than welcome
  20. Managed 240ft the other weekend in a 250ft tree:001_cool:. It's a bloody long way down from the top:scared1:

    Team "Peter" will be making an appearance
  22. I thought that was one of my more polite answers:001_tongue:
  23. From AFAG - Identify the appropriate equipment, number of workers and skills required. A minimum of two people must be present during all tree-climbing operations. One of the ground team must be available, competent and equipped to perform an aerial rescue without delay If your employing a ticketed groundie, who is not competent then you are not compliant. Period. Plus if you run a ltd company, you are an employee, hence you have a duty of care to yourself. You could be prosecuted as company owner.
  24. I quoted to fell it 3 years ago. The rips arnt big enough for me. I'm improving them under my tuition at the council though:001_tongue:
  25. Poplar hybrib. It was done just after xmas and may be protected, I keep on forgetting to enquire
