  1. oooo but that would then have been admitting that there was a defect:001_tt2:
  2. year 2000 wreg mazda b2500 single cab, fuel filler cap is in the side of the buck
  3. very true, but my pickup is only rated to carry a ton(2.9 overall) so by adding much more to the vehicles weight this isnt going to make it worthwhile doing saying that id love it if mine did tip
  4. id definately be interested as long as the conversion didnt limit carrying capacity(weight) to much
  5. is there no end to your talents
  6. ive got a br85 and a big backpack blower, the big one is great cleanup in no time, but we shall see how long it lasts my br85 gets so much abuse, gets left in the back of the truck in the rain, came out 1 day and it was in 3 inches of water in the back of the pickup and it was good as gold.handy little blower
  7. dont you mean that the fdsc is totally theory
  8. i have a black diamond touchstone haul bag for sale, ive used it once and will be using it tomorrow but it isnt quite big enough, it can hold at a push, 2x50m lengths of tachyon in seperate bags, 1x50m length of 11mm access line a small bag of bits and a treemotion, im only selling as ive bought a metolius half dome bag which is 125 litres and il be able to get my throwlines in it as well. this is a great qaulity bag, mega durable and will last ages, these bags new retail between 100 and 120 depending where you buy, sensible offers please il put up some pictures tomorrow http://www.mountainshop.fi/kauppa/images/zion.jpg
  9. havnt looked at the price of the 660 yet but its got to be around the 850 mark, and id rather make do till aprill before spending that much got 2 horsechestnut pollards with merripilus to come down and a good sized dead oak to tackle in the next month or so
  10. hmm maybe il get one then a 32" was my first thought but wasnt sure id be able to get one
  11. used it for a while, seems to bind up a bit,but is pretty durable. gone back to liros oh and armour prus
  12. thanks but im really after someone whos tried it, it needs to be able to run it comfortably,or il buy a bigger saw

    390xp

    just wondering what size bar my 390 will realistically run. ive got a 28 on it at the moment but would like to be able to stick a 36 on it.il get a oregan bar so i can stay with 3/8s chain. or do you think i should get a 066 to run a 36
  14. its actually a nd(national diploma) not hnd(higher national diploma). youd be better off getting your own gear
  15. as far as im aware the hnd has been replaced with the fdsc at sparsholt, in which case the course is 95% theory, and unless your going out to work you wont need any personal ppe except steel toecap boots for site visits etc
  16. nice, thats a good idea leaving the tail long so you can pull it down to you to untie:thumbup1:
  17. whats the setup with your climbing line and lanyard buddy
  18. deadwooding oak, srt access, new groundsman,camera phone
  19. do many manufacturers actually produce ropes with spliced eyes at each end?
  20. not sure i get your point, if there is milking at the opposite end of your line to the splice, why would this affect the splice
  21. im guessing you are doing this as an experiment to see the effects of splicing both ends of a climbing line
