Find a friendly kiwi with a paypal account.

Perhaps it was trying to stay under 12' 9"

If you turned up in a pub round here with a chainsaw the place would be stormed by armed police, and you would be face down on the floor with a skull full of lead before you could say "unarmed brazilian electrician". Sounds like you want to take your husky to bed with you....
-
True, but AP's scarcity makes it all the more desirable....

Miscanthus sinesis? Annual crop, dries easily, and doubles up as elephant food.
-
The air filter system on the 441 is as good as any husky, imo, perhaps because stihl seem to have pinched someone else's idea for it....
-
I'm inclined to agree there, it either slips or binds. Once you've tried AP you'll never go back!

I do splice, not split tails though as I dont use them. Mostly double braid, lanyards and so on. Split tails in 16 strand are one of the easiest splices, as there is no crossover to worry about.
-
Do you knot or splice Ian? Spliced split tails are easy to make, everyone should know how to do it.
-
An extract from the foliage is used to produce a drug called tamoxifen, which is used to treat breast cancer. You can sell yew hedge clippings for that very purpose. Werent hatters mad from arsenic poisoning? Perhaps you burnt lots of laurel, I think that contains arsenic.

Do you really want a dozen drunken tree surgeons carousing in your kitchen?

Arbormaster with armor-prus, if you can get hold of some.

Last christmas i knocked the back wall of my house out, and rebuilt it with french doors and a new window, and a new dpc. Not doing that again this year however.

Is product development technically effective or unecessarily complex?
Peter replied to hesslemount's topic in Climbers talk
You put as many wraps on as you want, and then depending on how loose you've tied it, some of the wraps will pull down into braids. Same as the Machard Tresse, or french prussik. -

The helical is a caving knot. It does turn into something that looks like a vt, but it is different. -

Try Honey Brothers. I dont know of anyone who keeps the Primus in stock. Treeworker had one at the AA trade fair, and Trees Unlimited had one with the cocoon pulley and a beeline adjuster, but I dont think any of them sold.
-
If its the ISA comp, I'll be there for sure, if its not, I may still come, if it doesnt clash with anything else.
-
Get a price for the Primus and a price for the older (better) webbing version and you may change your mind!
-
Yes, but thats only a tiny top. Ed would have had it another 8 feet lower!
-
Nice pics, shame you couldnt shake off the camp tourist in the foreground.
-
thats whats in the pic
-
My fave is the webbing RG.
-
Hey yeah! I could (legitimately) use a chainsaw while wearing my scarpas!
