had the one from sherrill a few years back, a good toy, great for the show room, but not in the real world, not enough power to realy pull the line in with a bag on across a lawn. i think that once the batteries ran out i never bothered replacing them:thumbdown:

yep to the 5 year thing and all other units should be updated too

sorry but you can, though there is a clause that the inspection should be done without 'fear or favour' and this could be taken that if you are buying your gear that you may 'favour' of not failing it, though if your an inspector why would you climb on dodgy gear. and all that pete said too.
-
its the petzl pantin you have, so you must keep the rope vertical, which is ok for true srt but is why the cmi foot asscender is better for tree work IMHO as the rope locks in

large bucket with old oil in, throw in a burning rag, put chiminey on top with vents in and called it a 'salamander'

i've had a pair of cmi's for a while, very robust and better for me as the rope locks in. worked out cheaper than the petzl too, who didnt make rightes then

the 'tiblock' not sure of the name,was a very small cam device with a thin wire gate(with did'nt work as 3 strand was too big) to keep the rope in most of the time, mine got lifted from by bag many years ago. the othe was the (jack) kenyon prussic lifter which was a L shaped bar with spurs that twisted onto the tail and lifted the prussic. you made your own spliced 3 strand prussic loops, or 'euro prussic loop' which were easer to make as they were just two eye splices, one small to the harness and one large to make the prusssic, but didnt last as long. just about all of the other things mentioned, specially the grey GT under the arm pits!! how about been taught to stack a load of brash properly with just a billhook, but leaving a space on the back as you dont get a seat in the cab:001_rolleyes:

bbc breakfast news competative tree climbing
Craig Johnson replied to Charlieh's topic in General chat
full speaking part!!!! BBC NEWS | UK | Tree climbing for grown-ups -
you can put a bridge on but, it was not designed to be used like that! its a unique french style that they put either end of the rope onto different sides, this allowows you to turn and go out forwards on branches. the desigen has been around for 10 years or more and still in productuion as far as i know. craig
