  2. well you know what i meant it,s a shame they did not sort it years ago but they could still burn all the pre change ones or retro fit new switches they did it to chippers
  3. we have been very happy with our setup
  4. i have the grcs at home at the mo did you want a measurement of something a couple of weeks ago

  5. 1 question that i think would be valid for your assignment is why do sthil chainsaws turn off the wrong way? surely the husky way makes sense and in this industry is it not about time H&S made one or the other change it makes a mockery out of safety features that are completely different

    made me smile but then again does not take much to make me smile

  7. totally agree with you there i have seen too many that i would not even wish to use as lowering ropes life is more important than money

    is it because i,m ugly that i have no friends or because i talk too much sh1t or did not spend my life asking everyone to be my friend

    did you notice the tip about getting a contract climber in under unorthodox techniques

  10. i do this as well do not see a problem imo only like lowering a saw it is safer to do this occasionally than cut and hold the odd branch although if its going to happen more than twice in a tree i generally ask for the lowering rope and i would only ever lower up to half my bodyweight and if this did cause any wear to my rope i would replace it sooner i generally replace my rope every 12 to 18 months and i know a lot of climbers that are climbing on ropes over 5 years old
  11. bob

    have finally accepted your invite to be your friend

  12. if your expecting an important phone call put your phone in glove on back of left hand or in helmet but on back of hand seems easier as if you shove it in pocket you end up busting em
  13. if you ever get a big tree to do get in a contract climber that does not feel under the weather on that day
  14. when spiking up a back up a stem put your climbing line on the outside of your stop so it keeps it out of the way of your spikes or slip it to your harness
  15. thats not bad tbh it is not uncommon to get more than that so do not worry too much how stressed out were you or were you quite relaxed i find those are the type of mistakes younger folk that are a bit more stressed and wound up tend to make whereas older folk seem to be a bit more chilled out well done that man are you going to do your 39
  16. put my name to the top of the pile please sir
