MattyF replied to normandylumberjack's topic in Climbers talk
I used bent gate carabiners for years but you have to be very careful rigging , I think more than once as the gate is open I got it caught lowering , with a very big limb it could be a disaster. I was not a fan of the petzl because I thought them to brittle and kept breaking them but I would not go back now after using them for last 3 months and doing a lot of big rigging jobs.

Basically I think it was right you did not get the job... Sorry if that sounds harsh but as you said your self your inexperienced and not quick ... Most people work for at least 5 years as a lead climber in the harsh environment of commercial tree work before they have in my opinion the skills to be a competent climber. Focus on these things it takes from my experience 5 years to get established and ten to get a very good reputation that can be destroyed over night! Any way... Business is not easy unless you have very rich parents and are in the masons even if you are the best climber. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If your quoting against, as you put it a decent long going firm my guess is there mind had already been made they just needed other quotes to make it look fair... This happens a lot, don't let in knock you down to where you want to get too. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Lots of cheap non original parts for those saws on eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I think so, have had a couple of them mk 1-2 they are relatively waterproof but I think just make a easy to use and light weight jacket you can wear in summer or build up layers and still move at winter and will keep you dry. The Pfanner ones are ok but mine have never been well made and not waterproof. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I brought an old g wagon with road tyres that could go places my 90 with bf tyres would not , it didn't eat diffs gearboxes and engines either. If I had the money that would be my choice. I regret letting it go. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
Had mine since they came out and it still has not broken any thing??? I also dropped it 40ft when a tree motion gear loop pulled out and I had not clipped it on too the saw ring! And it just sat on the ground ticking over with its original tech lite bar bent .... We straightened that to finish the job and has been fine since surprisingly so no need to replace that either. If you yo yo it and canon ball saws around a tree it won't be for you. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

No I meant shafts , just rounds the ends off. Destroyed 4 hedges cutter gear boxes as well, and one blower set of bearings, on a whole Imo I think they are just should not be classed as professional products.. I had an 8 year old Hl 75 that outlasted two km 130's and its solid geared hedge cutter never needed replacing once. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I doubt a 25cc 2 stroke unit could destroy as many tool shafts as a km130 can. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

12 and 16 for me are the best combo for rerouting and shooting lines and getting a decent anchor.. I did say I had a 14oz bag for shooting with but realised it was a 12 after I posted.. The 16 is primarily just a routing bag and you can always slap a steel crab on the 12oz if you need the weight when its on the ground but I suppose not a problem if your using an SRT system although I still like a clear crown space for that as well,nothing more annoying than ivy and twigs in ascenders!

Ha ha one of my favourite films, I never got why Newman disassociated him self from it in later years as it's probably one of his best films.. He does some spar tail action in that as well. Books very good as well. Great second clip as well jomoco. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
