  1. Nobody is totally sure at the moment but he will no doubt have wings, which will help.
  2. Ex military gortex jacket and trouser combination, available from any surplus shop, you can get a nice large fit so you can wear a nice cosy fleece underneath, try to get the trousers with zips down the legs so you don't have to take your boots off to put them on, they are pretty good value and wear well.
  3. Yep, and you know what those pesky squirrels are like.
  4. Now that's a good point about defective gear accidents, before and after LOLER checks came in. But I think that is what LOLER is about, records of equipment use, before LOLER there were no equipment records apart from maybe receipt of sale but that wouldn't really tell you much anyway. I droned on about this very subject on another forum, I questioned defective kit causing accidents, instead I steered the blame towards bad pricing of work, inexperience of employees made to carry out that work and also, probably the most obvious, good old human error. Now, please shoot me down.
  5. Thank's Treebogan, price Steve. 266.10 Euros. Drayer site. http://www.drayer.de/shopfactory_deutsch/index.html
  6. I used to do the same thing, but was told to ditch the biner, which I did, I switched to a small mallion. Now I just use a standard Elderid friction saver without the pulley. I like a little bit of friction.
  7. Anybody used one of these? Drayer supply it on it's own or part of a reasonably priced lowering kit.
  8. The ledgend is dead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-PKx2GlC7U&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg9Hrp0CVms&feature=related
  9. Not fitted on euro models I believe.
  10. Days wages for Steve!
  11. Reg you rule! Camera work very good, especially that shot that follows the crane. Very nice work. Radiohead on the sounds, so sweet.
  12. Er, yeah.
  13. Here's one, my friend Meg, her brother in the states.
  14. That chains blunt.
  15. Did you give the guy who raised the issue a firm punch in the throat?
  16. Nice skyhuck, has that chute ever got bloked?
  17. I am just watching it again, love those shots that pan back, shows how silly high that tree was.
  18. My Bosky shirt is wearing well and I have to admit, pretty damn cool looking!
  19. I second that.
  20. Thanks Butch, I really should go to the Buzz more.
  21. Come on Angus, give us some more details.
  22. These are great gloves, fantastic grip very close fitting so they don't snag, trouble is they are pricey and really don't last very long but they really are great for climbing, my mate can get these from a guy who works for a well known aircraft component manufacturing company, they get issued with a pair a day, so he keeps the old pairs for my mate. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https://is1.eporia.com/company_79/36194.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nationalsafetyinc.com/product.asp%3FProduct_Id%3D34664%26d_Id%3D9325%26l1%3D9325%26l2%3D&h=323&w=450&sz=39&hl=en&start=9&um=1&tbnid=61yxaH4yToRrgM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dansell%2Bgloves%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
  23. Welcome Ellie.
  24. Yeah, but I did use it and my pulley on the lower stuff, the higher branches were just a little suspect.
  25. It's almost as if you read my mind.
