  1. Have you climbed on both ends?
  2. a supporting member is someone who has donated towards the ever escalating running costs of the forum, as oppossed to someone who thinks arbtalk owes them something
  3. where in dorset, im about 5 miles from christchurch
  4. Overall length is 730mm Measurement for the 1st mark on the cover was 6 inches, marks 2 and 3 on the core were at 2 and 6 inches
  5. Liros eye to eye with short burys. Ridiculously easy to splice
  6. I've been wearing akus for about 4 years. I've had 2 pairs of crodas and I'm on my first pair of crestas. I wear them all day everyday and are super comfy. The crodas don't seem to be wearing as well as my old crestas, I've had them since June. I will definately be getting another pair when these are done
  7. real nice, did a hank once before as well
  8. Become an ARB Approved Contractor scroll down to just below the bit that says "the standard" and the scheme standards are at the bottom of the table
  9. Yesterday mornings heavy oak reduction
  10. 240 a month. 20ft by 60 ft lock up with electric. half a barn and 2 shelters built buy us. Parking for 2 trailers 4 work vehicles and 5 cars. Plus a smallish woodchip pile
  11. It's definately a good modification
  12. personally i think people are creating a problem that doesnt exist regarding redirects... plan your climb work the tree, theres no need for mulitple redirects im surprised more people dont know how to retrive there system back through natural redirects without having to climb back through them
  13. personally i cant see the benefit from having a 1:1 system when your doing tip reductions and climbing on small diameter wood. i prefer the mechanical advantage for coming in on stuff that shouldnt be holding your weight
  14. i bought the new ropewrench. ive used it for acces,s footlocking the tail. but in all honesty i cant see myself using it for most of my work. a well planned route and a ropeguide is perfect for me

  18. hey matt my tools insurance is 1400. thats for 1 qaudchip, 3 grinders, my boxer 427 skidsteer. saws and climbing/rigging kits on a new for old basis
  19. armor prus, its stupidly easy to splice
  20. callout to an oak that had split in half this afternoon. plenty of phonelines and power cables to contend with
  21. i just think its funny that you would have so little regard for anothers equipment, but you will carry a brush to avoid contamination of fuel and oil on a saw
