  1. im going to cirencester and the aa if possible, need a ekn harness and som boots!!!! look out for a closed eyed ginger boy with a beer in his hand
  2. mickey mouse gear? duck tape is a quick fix and if you use black you wont see it.................... i think stitching would pull out easily on the elasticated fabric...
  3. never used that befor but it seems a good trick,wil ave ago nexttime but did you have to keep spinning th pulley because the more you move around the tree the more the rope wont run true..
  4. or get some duck tape, rip a length off and cut long the middle so its half the width and stick it where you would sew.... easy:trytofly:
  5. count me in dude,nptc's, first aid (fap) own vehicle, kit and also ipaf, leicester area
  6. safety sunglases are the way forward, most of the day in a tree seems to be looking right where the sun is...

    Rope

    that smell just makes me happy!!!
  9. looks quite good, not sure tho, they claim to be water proof but you usually end up wet through
  10. i dont tidy my coronets up, i bore in and cut holes in and around the cut to add for happy bugness
  11. it does make you think people are staring at you!!! fair game tho, i will never smoke again at work and havent for a long time, maybe my attitude is different because i smoke at night but reversing a wagon is a bit of a differnt ball game than driving a car
  12. i did my first the otherday, wasnt the best tho and didnt look like barts head, there is quite a skill to it though
  13. the grass isnn greener on the other side, all you see of otherside is the pros and never the cons, tree work can be stressful at times but think of all the fun you can have climbing and the lunch time banter
  14. rember your first beer? w*****ed i bet? no? there is a huge difference between tried and do, i have smoked weed for the last 4 years and i do agree while working i wouldnt want it, but take a dive into the building trade, i worked on a site for 2 months on a roof and it was constant, smoking while sitting on the apex angle grinding and i didnt supply any of it!!!!! while people say its rife in arb work then they seriously need to look at all the other trades, just thinking about it i no firms that are owned by coke heads, and guess what they do every hour:adore:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and also any one who drives while having a spliff?? ive had 3 minor crashes and 2 major in my first years of driving, none was due to being stoned, in fact 1 was because i couldnt take my eyes of some gammon the other side of the road, and to be quite honest the old bill have caught me a few times in my car when i have been stoned and worse and they never knew, soo much for the law!!!! all in all it shouldnt not be done and anyone who is professional shouldnt do drugs AT WORK.
  15. several is 3 isnt it? matty - i think your right dude
  16. i dont think a smack in the mouth would do a smoker any good, as people say they are moody, i smoke quite alot, even used to do at work!!!!!! but then i wasnt climbing and was doing **** epicormic work!!!! but no excuse.... i wouldnt smoke now unless it was the end of the day and someone else had it, i never take it to work, strictly a night time and weekend thing but ill also add i dont smoke fags full stop.............
  17. all in all id like to team up with a few people i sub for right now and create a 'whole tree service company' from groundies to consultants.. i would like to become a consultant but have no chance in hell yet as im loving climbing soooo much at the min i find it hard to sit down and revise etc...
  18. ahhman, thats just what you dont need, hide inside and sit there pointing a UNLOADED (wink wink) shot gun at them, when they see you they will crap them selves!!!
  19. i think my best bet would be to buy several types and give them all a go, looking forward to playing with the v.t, did have a little go the other day but the tree was too big to mess around in and i needed to get done!!! so i tied it bk to the prussic that kept slipping!!!!!
  20. dont start the ball rolling again lol
  21. ok thanks matey, mite just have to play around big time with it!!
  22. whats the shape you want in the gullet then? the same as jamies avatar?
