  1. I'll try and get her to reply mate , she liked it a lot though.. and gave it a big thumbs up.
  2. The features are in the vid , my bad .. it does not make them that clear or really focus on them long enough to make it sink in and think wow I thought.
  3. Craig my only criticism is the video ! Does not show off many of your harnesses great features like the sliding bridge or top harness .. I'm still yet to work in one so don't want to big it up massively but I certainly would pay the extra...
  4. We had a good look at the show , if I was in the market for a new harness I would buy it with out a doubt over another tree motion. Made and designed in the uk , the whole bridge system slides with your movement not just the anchor ring on the bridge ( hard to explain unless you have a play with it!)so will not be digging in your sides is what makes me want one when my tree motion needs replacing, Rachel tried on the Gemini version and said she's never tried a more comfy harness.the three bridge options is a good idea for many reasons , the leg padding does not look like it will cut off your circulation if left suspended like most CE harnesses and most importantly it does not have those elastic bits to twang your arse and make your eyes water that the tree motion does also the accessory top half means you can use it in a mewp.

    560 woes

    It's going well ! would like to replace the fuel lines and carb boots as it seems to possibly have an air leak as it over runs? Don't know if that's the auto tune trying to make sense of the mods as it's only occasionally doesn't it .... I guess I should ship it back to you at some point.

    560 woes

    So is the short block the best way forward Steve ? I seem to remember the Conrod and bearings separate was more or about the same to replace!
  7. Why do we have the same thread every year ? At least we could resurrect the old one to do a comparison!
  8. Aye but if you liked to post stupid memes about how great you are you probably would ... that's kinda the point , I thought It was a good Pish take !
  9. Open air ascents great and as hungry squirrel says team up with a knee acsender... a must really for SRT climbing but still good on a double rope.
  10. Join us for a recce climb some time bill. VT is the best hitch I've found once set right with your ropes , found the distel bound up to much for my liking ,the beauty of the VT is it never binds , self tends and sets easy if tied right. Happy hitch is another good one not quite as sporty as the VT but you don't have to hardly dress it as much to set it.
  11. I would like to point out I don't agree with it in any way sloth.. it's a Pisa take of the face book memes .... I hope !
  12. Farmi 260 would be my first choice if I was after a pto chipper for our waste soft woods , there's usually a few decent second hand ones for sale if you check the usual places ..http://www.earborist.com/FOR_SALE_Wood_Chippers_Farmi_CH260_Wood_Chipper_13020.html Old link but I imagine they have a few come in all the time.
  13. Bill check out the cobra stuff Steven is selling , I left the stihl at home one day and needed another blower whilst in Hexham to finish a job so for £150 with the specs given was worth a punt .. it's done a year fine and is more powerful than the stihl and less than half the price of it's equivalent... Rachel picked up the hand held a few months back and it seems better than the 86.
  14. Agree there 👍🏻 great photo mark.
  15. 10mm is fine but the cams still wear out. Does not seem to happen any quicker from my experience, just one cam in three years since I switched to 10mm on my positioner.
  16. Yes brushcutter they where... quite frustrating, don't really want to fire Wood the nice straight none knotty wood but it slows it right down.
  17. Ha ha ,that's gonna be my cuss of the week. cheers mark.
  18. I've had some really weird compression on larch so bad not even wedges every few inches helped , I was wondering if it had possibly come off a wind blow site and had continued growing for years after it was that bad... or is that normal? The only time I've experienced it felling with saws pinching on bars has been on wind blow that has continued growing adding some adverse tensions in the timber.
  19. From your link Kevin Bruno de Cordier: Europe was very much aware of the formidable mobilising power of the Islam and the caliphate. In that sense, Sykes-Picot “worked”. But I do wonder whether ‘Sykes-Picot’ has not been used as a lightning rod or an alibi onto which Arab leaders and movements can shift the blame for their own failure or as even an excuse for their own actions. Bruno de Cordier: ISIL, with its reinvention of the Thirty Years’ War (this time between Sunnis and Shias) has so far caused more damage to the Islam as a global image and ideology and to the concept of the caliphate than Sykes-Picot ever did.
