    Or use hollow braid.

    Sparrow do courses but for the single person it's an expensive option, they advise to join a group when they are running courses to save money, I don't have a banksman ticket I just do the climbing but we normally have three people on site with the qualifications. It means little though when like myself this week the operator had never done a tree job before.

    Don't use tape it will create too much friction, only take half the strands from the very end, take care when folding, make sure that the shorter strands are still trapped through the fid, the longer strands will hold them in place. I tend to use a wire fid and save the Toss Wand for sixteen strand and larger diameter Double braid.

    Taking care when inserting the fid and pushing it through is one of the key steps, make sure it dosent snag any of the fibers, as others have said, take a small amount of the inner core, sometimes it's better to take out half the fibers from the end then fold the longer fibers over the shorter ones, this will give you a little more room, bunch up the cover at the cross over and gently pull, if it gets stuck pull it back out re -insert and try again, don't struggle if it's stuck. Keep everything nice and smooth.

    The timber will drop off the stump rather than jump off the stump.

    Tuckers is closing? What a shame, we used to hit Tuckers for and get smashed cheaply before heading into town, that was about twenty years ago, just a front room with barrels, old Cider heads playing shove ha'penny, good times.

    Stupid question, with vertical speed lining, how do you slow the load down or do you bother?

    A friend of mine recently had a 026 stolen from site, a quick call, a stern physical telling off, 026 turned up not stolen anymore!

    Very nice Sir, puts it into perspective.

    Crown cleaning is no longer in fashion and is no longer promoted by our betters, ten years down the line trendy thinking will create new ways to describe what we have all done for years anyway. What is BS3998 anyway? I may start a rant about arborist ethics in the UK.
  16. High Scale
    When I first heard the term 'crown clean' I thought some one was pulling my leg, I'm glad it's been banished.

    Nice work Craig, I made a new one last week with Blaze, easy to splice!

    My old climbing xtc end up as light rigging ropes perfect for natural crotch rigging now you can get larger diameters Yale XTC 16-Strand Rigging Line. I have not seen these before but I do live in my own tiny little world.

    Sixteen strand ropes strength is in the outer cover not the core. There is a myth that hand splicing is somehow inferior to a factory splicing and that a hand spliced rope that is made in the morning, first thing, is somehow different to a rope that is hand spliced, last thing, in the afternoon despite the fact that the same, FACTORY, splicing instructions are followed and carried out to the letter.

    Really, very nice, did you have to slice and carry all that timber out?
  23. High Scale
    My boys school has two or three carved crocs I'll get some pictures.
  24. High Scale
    10mm rope for strop is OK but the 2 way snap is NOT recommended. Hypocritical? Yep.

    Stone cutter?
