There's an excellent book about living on the moon called 'Steel Beach' by John Varley.

Beer alert: Fosters, John smith's, strongbow, woodpecker, amstel, brown ale are going to run out by the end of next week. My mate runs a pub and said that "Magners, Bulmers, woodpecker, strongbow and dark fruit all halted production last night. BOC (gas supplier for beer and soft draught dispense) has just dropped a corker. Along the lines of: We have enough for now, but if the Co2 supply isn't sorted by the end of July, we might run out." That means nae beer. Excuse the media source, as they're well known for predicting the worst winter/hottest summer ever, but this one's legit. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/976904/World-Cup-beer-warning-panic-co2-shortage

I'd want to kick off about it. In reality, I'd probably take the hit and not let myself get ripped off again.

I did the same thing.

Great video Reg. I particularly like the wonky tree at 1:57. Cheers.

Mine can nearly do 105.

I knew that was going to happen.

It's an enigma.

Maybe there were two vehicles parked at the same angle next to them when they arrived. Or they were drunk.

That's an excellent documentation. Thanks. -
I use a truepulse too. It's a few years old but accurate. Keep an eye on ebay.

Cool tree.Insert other media

New to trees, but not to rope work... getting started
Mark J replied to Mesuno's topic in Climbers talk
On top of what Steve's said, you could see if anyone local goes rec climbing. It's always good to pick up tips from other climbers. Sounds like you're on the right track. Have a look for 'The Tree Climbers Companion' by Jeff Jepson. There are PDFs knocking about, but it's worth having the real thing as a reference. -
That's more than a bit cheeky. I hope he pays well.

An early incarnation of my mate's trio.

Bit of a long one. That's what she said. Fnarrr

Been there. Feel your pain. Won't get fooled again...

Glad you're alright OP. Always be looking up on a live tree, comms or not, there could be unexpected deflections of timber and/or hangars. Tree work is a dynamic process that requires the use of all senses. I wouldn't use a chin strap on the ground for the reasons above. Your helmet shouldn't be in danger of falling off without the chin strap. If it is, it's not adjusted properly.

Two of those, taped to your scabbard (around 2/3rd down). Problem solved mate.

Magnets are great.

I've had a couple of these taped to my silky scabbard for a few years now. Works a treat: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10Pcs-N35-Neodymium-Block-Magnet-20x10x2mm-Super-Strong-Rare-Earth-Magnets-UK-/152979428830

I don't think that Mr Waxy Lemmon should be inside. However, he did potentially derail the trial of 20+ nonces, while serving a suspended sentence for doing much the same thing; which is considerably more disingenuous than the catastrophic actions of an angry pensioner with a penchant for dialling 111. You buy the ticket, you take the ride.
