  1. true, but if they've not done any AR updating in that 12 months, it doesn't tick the box
  2. i think the last lot i did was .95 but they were big gnarly buttts
  3. hornbeam is heavier than beech on average throughout the year
  4. Start with global deforestation, chuck in a little global warming, add how few people one tree supplies with oxygen, then focus on how low bid is not always the best value long term
  5. The Bridge is extra long so you can tie a shortening knot without untying the manufactured knot, therefore not modifying the harness, just adjusting. The ring in the middle of the back is strong enough for any saw. the small rings are rated to 5kg and 10kg on the loops, there is a slot for a tool clip behind the side rings. the lower bridge attachment point is just that and has not been designed or tested as anything else, hope that helps
  6. Yep that's right, top one sits you up more, bottom one back. The idea being with adjusting the floating bridge and leg raiser at the front you should get your preferred balance point/ weight distribution. Yes you can run two bridges, which is good for multiple tie in points and has other advantages
  7. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your experience using the Simarghu Fire Harness. As someone involved in the design, thanks for your positive feedback on some of the features. The harness has been designed with as much adjustment as possible in order to create optimum fit and balance. It has been on the cards to produce a video showing what difference the adjustments make to the balance and loading of the harness. My apologies that we have not yet managed to get to it - simply too busy. We will however try to make this a priority. Floating Bridge This was specifically designed to stop the harness moving around the body with the waist belt (and tool attachment points) remaining still as only the floating bridge should move with the body, so I am uncertain what you mean here? 3 Bridge Positions. Glad you found this useful, each bridge position is designed to have a slightly different balance point to suit different peoples body mass. It also provides the ability to have 2 independent bridges. Bridge Rope This is specifically designed to allow for shortening without removal of the factory fitted stopper knots. This allows climbers to fine tune bridge length to suit their needs, in combination with the adjustment of the floating bridge. Side 'D's' I tend to use the lower D's for work positioning so I don't find the rings an issue as my harness is a very good fit, but I am probably biased ;-). I do however feel that the option of having 2 side rings outweighs any negatives. Leg Loops The reason for not using elastic in this area is because future developments will include a fall arrest chester which can be attached to the base harness and it requires tape rather than elastic to comply with fall arrest regs. Leg Loop Retaining Straps This has been addressed with a slight modification which seems to have fixed the problem. First Aid Strap This was not actually designed for first aid kits, but to cover the buckle for the Chester attachment. However, I like your idea of the buckle, I might pinch that ;-) Summary Although we have received lots of positive reviews we are disappointed that you have not found the harness to your personal liking. We would have preferred to keep the pricing lower, however, by insisting on UK manufacture, in relatively small quantities, this obviously affects a comparison price had it been manufactured in Asia or Developing European Countries. We welcome all comments and thanks for the time you have put into your review. Team SIMARGHU

  10. Rhodes timber got done last night, all the saws, hedge trimmers, poles saws etc 20+ units climbing and rigging kits (there were some big 22mmx70m ropes) mazda pick up, 3 quads the list goes on and on be on your gaurd
  11. http://www.eac-arboriculture.com/eac-intro.aspx you can do the exam in english in most european countries, as the default common language of the EAC is english, though i would suggest sweden as their tree ident list is shorter than most(as long as you know your conifers)
  12. Katie, the rules and regulations within our industry are more than adequate, and include refreshers. All the safeguarding in the world can't prevent things like this and and the rules for others should not be changed because of it.
  13. look in the instructions it tells you how to shorten the bridge by putting in another stopper knot
  14. don't use a wire core at all, or haven't for the last decade or more lol. used a twin lanyard (1x 10M X11.7mm) with a binner tied on each end in the pic. store the rope in a bag, has its plus and minus points but the versatility outpreforms any problems
  15. their hoping for 40 plus! going to be a last minute i hope
  16. as above, but i also run a munter hitch down a new line a few of times, don't put anything on the loose end so any twists can come out
  17. In relation to bringing a new product to market the cost of the video is virtually nothing
  18. Tethers are not made buy isc and the same tethers are available under different brand names
  19. It's going to be. CE certified to what standard is the question that's not been answered an probably why you can't pre order
  20. bump call me on 07831836040 to discuss
  21. Looking for a Groundie to help out on the 23/24 feb york area, must have own saw,ppe and transport. General tree work experience is prefered May lead to other days/weeks work in the coming months drop me a pm or email [email protected] cheers
  22. Liros slick line from heave, with the round tubs. 1.7mm dynima over fishing line no tangles last on lasted 8 years
