  1. Good work mick, nice to have guidance on tap for that first splice, learning from disjointed utube videos and poorly written instructions can get frustrating...
  2. Yes AAAC contractor and member at technician level
  3. wo wo wo.... why hasnt this been on the news, has anyone called the bbc??......oh right conspiracy theory, il get my coat
  4. No it doesn't, it creates a bend in the rope to allow a hitch to function on a single line
  5. Hi Paul Do you have any 2013 dates for this? I'd love to come to the one in December but il be in new Zealand
  6. Have you climbed on both ends?
  7. I'm not even 30, I just wing it
  8. 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
  9. where in dorset, im about 5 miles from christchurch
  10. 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
  11. Liros eye to eye with short burys. Ridiculously easy to splice
  12. 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
  13. real nice, did a hank once before as well
  14. 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
  15. Samson vortex splice
  16. Yesterday mornings heavy oak reduction
  17. 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
  18. It's definately a good modification
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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
