    its walking distance from the train station, the park is nearly in the center of town. there is no camping in any parks in sweden, but there is a campsite a few clicks away, by the sea, near where the bridge come across!

    quite simple, i agree. i dont want to hi-jack this thread, but lets not forget that NPTC is a BACIS leavel of competence. it is the level of skill needed to pass test, and not all the skills needed to have a career in this industry. i still consider that i'm still learning and hope to do so for many years to come, but what i want to learn its not been taught NPTC, that does not make it wrong or unsafe. just my ten pence worth craig

    life must be too good, i put 5 raps on to hold my not very small frame and you now need six! i did try with a small prussic on the micro pulley, but found that with the short length of the leg it meant that there was little adjustment. i have found a very adjustable bridge more use in recent months for switching between styles.

    dont be cheeky boy. if you want to keep up try reading the 'tree climbers knotbook' by dirk lingens its a few years old now but i'm sure that it will be all new to you:001_cool: the 8mm cord show in your first picture is not the best choice for this knot.

    A few guys(and me) did this at a comp a few years back, besides throwing up, blood shot eyes, i ended up in hosptial with a brain hemorage:scared1: for a few weeks. i dont think that we realise how fragile our bodies are some times.

    not in anger, i find that both the high tec harness have too low a balance point for me, more so on the hopper, may be better for a girl as there point of balance is lower, but what do i know
  23. Craig Johnson
    the best 'small' harness are the the hightec 'treehopper' and 'treebee' and also singing rock 'timber'
  24. Craig Johnson
    that justifes the decision made in belgium then
