  1. if you've got time to kill over the holidays, try ten minutes or so looking at this site Ditzj.de - Welcome to come up with your favourite. i think after some time mulling it over this is my top trump choice Ditzj.de - MAN 18.480 - Lacrevaz-Aravis Levage have fun craig
  2. if you have isa cert arb and isa cert tree worker you can get the EAC euro tree worker or vice verca for a small fee.
  3. i thought the pine in norway /sweden is better as at least its a tree! strange how we always thought that all realy very old things(pants) had to be large!!
  4. me too, same tree for 9 year, fiber optic so low power as well:thumbup:
  5. rupe was it the same guy, who came to the uk for the fist time to do the comp? i can picture him now, a great guy, who through tcc's started to enjoy work again. i remember at his first comp failed at most things but still got 'the spirit of the comp' award, then next comp came with so much gear and enthuisasm,it was great i feel for the family as he was a great guy and glad that i had the pleasure of meeting him
  6. its the last 5 pic that brought it home as i've been for a drink in the white water hotel. the 'fishermans bar' is at the bottom of the spiral stair case!!! (under the conifers behind the water fall, last but one pic) just difficult to comprehend:thumbdown:
  7. got this sent through, it shows some of the lakes and areas that got hit with the floods, if any of you have been to the lakes i'm sure you'll know the places. Lake District flood - Friday 20th November 2009 - StridingEdge it might take a few minutes to load as theres lots of pic's in high res
  8. 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:
  9. sure, but excitment is the spice of life, and the more you have the more you need:lol:
  10. all you've got to do is add beer and anything seams like a good idea at the time:001_tt2: and been tied in you could'nt fall off:thumbup:again:blushing:
  11. result of a similar spinning 'game' but with rope and harness, which was going to safer than the previous, 'ride the post hole borer', on another occasion which olny resulted in a depressed retina:lol:
  12. the wire is required, as thats how its made. there for to pass a loler test it must have a wire. easy to replace and if you want you can get them from isc
  13. not really, i ended in high dependancy with a brain hemorage
  14. i'm with steve, had a liros pro line for years, i have tried most of the others on the market and find that it has been best for durabitity too:thumbup1:
  15. dave put me down for the next trip, truley fantastic
  16. reg, why would it not fell, looked like there was loads of space?
  17. on a good day i'm a 6'5'' 17.5 stone climber, just dont give me any small ornamentals to prune and i dont footlock too far either now
  18. yep to the 5 year thing and all other units should be updated too
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. large bucket with old oil in, throw in a burning rag, put chiminey on top with vents in and called it a 'salamander'
  22. 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
  23. moderated 410 + £3/squrriel= great day out that pays
