    Donaghys is made in South Africa by Southern Ropes. English Braids are a manufacturer, they make ropes for Stein. Cousin Trestec are a manufacturer and also make ropes for Petzl. Harken Industrial make the Jet step Fletcher Stewart import Yale rope

    Courant sent me the instructions, unfortunately I'm not able to share them.

    Tricky splice for me, took a while to get dialed.
  7. High Scale
    Not mine but I do have one, great device.

    This is one I did a while back, used non CE Cougar Blue, SpLIFE method, hidden stitching, came out beautifully.

    You should end up with this.

    This video by John is what really helped me with the Drenaline spLIFE, I could do it but this taught me to do it better.

    Paul, thanks for your reply, I will relay that information. I fail to see how it would be cost effective regarding R and D when it comes to developing new compliant equipment for such a tiny market, ie, the UK unless the whole of Europe also adopts two rope working but maybe I'm missing a trick? Maybe utilizing existing industrial equipment in combination with the tree climbing equipment we already use. Anyway, it'll will be good to see the developments when they arrive.

    Can you confirm that it's two points of attachments must be used at all times other than the before mentioned times but also when cutting will two suffice or should you use your lanyard as well, three points of attachment plus the rescue line? Having the two rope systems is OK but surely both should be able to get you to the ground in the event of an accident? Otherwise your relying on a rescue which is not ideal.

    Thanks for your reply Paul, I shall look into it some more.

    5 strands are pulled out, 4 strands remain.

    So you can use both ends of your rope, you don't have to use a secondary system that reaches the ground, that's odd. You should be using two separate systems when moving around the tree but a lanyard is not suitable as it's not normally that long, so if you had a long lanyard attached to the PPE points on your harness, separately from your main system that should be cool provided that the friction device on your lanyard is suitable for PPE, fall from height protection, remember it doesn't have to get you to the ground. You can also only use only one point of attachment,( lanyard) whilst retrieving or advancing your main system/systems something you cannot do in Industrial rope access.

    Samson instructions would probably work.

    Courant Splices.
  18. High Scale
    There is good instructions on this type of splice on Tree Buzz.

    Rigging sling in action, that's me crippled on the ground.
  20. High Scale
    Finally got around to making a new lanyard, not that I climb as much as I used to.
  21. High Scale
    Made this for re-direct rigging, yanking trees over.
  22. High Scale
    I make sure I whip my slings yo!
  23. High Scale
    Did they send the same sling back as you sent them?
  24. High Scale
    I'm a little confused, what is the first measurement from the end?
  25. High Scale
    It took me a few attempts using Sam's instructions on TB which are slightly confusing, two of the measurements are in imperial the rest metric which always confuses me and it takes care to finish without leaving bumps internally, I need to splice it some more and then test it with the slew at work but after doing the spLIFE all summer it went pretty well.
