2 ends of your rope is fine untill the loop comes off the ground which is illegal and highly dangerous, i climb with a rope and long soft strop with half of it daisy chained so it can be used as a small secondary anchor if need be, also just take a redirect with you and you cant go wrong

I was down in london for the charity shield at wembley recently, had a few hours round the paddington pubs and bars beforehand and couldn't help but have a gander at the plain avenues...looked fantastic...I have a bad habit of scoping out anchor points etc whenever I start looking at trees...lol

i always look where i would reduce it to or how id take it down in my head:001_tongue:

there is 2 90ft planes out the back or peterbough that are un touched, simply magnificiant!

if the half hitch is set right followed by a running bowline then there is no reason for it to come undone, if in doubt cut a notch or put in another half hitch

cheers m8,sorry not kiwi but missus is

oh sorry dude:001_tongue:

i was cringing all the way through waiting for it to barber chair!!!! lucky chappy

sounds bad but i cant help chuckling to my self, something very hurmours about a man running from wasps, i too have been the victim of such bad luck,

i did a common beech on thursday that had Phellinus igniarius and also inonotis hispidus, all i know is its not good!! a prelific butt rotter:thumbdown:

What have you got on under your T shirt Ben

 

Looks like Lycra to me mate, not turning are you

its a tight nike running top, since the dreaded cut i have worn it because of minimal rubbing and stops the crap getting in the stitches!!!!!!!!!!

I like a bit of friction, but not a lot. A pulley is just too frictionless for me to work off. Great for ascending, though!

great fun, only thing is it burns your cord out, or if you use op like me then you rope!!!!!

Some are never "capable", at any age!

trueist words youve ever typed:001_tongue:

lime from yesterday

large dead wood removal on burley park estate getting ready for the horse trials

manky cheggy butt:thumbdown:

every man has a soft side:001_tongue:

nice photo kiwi

i was doind the cut and chuck method............... it wasnt dangerous at all though, my cut came from another occurance of hang ups!!!!! you just need to keep your wits about your selves:001_cool:

pete, just woundering mate, did you tip rope it out?

use a swivel if you use a hitch climber...

if not id just use a couple mallions, they would have to be green though:P

hell yeah

Oh! yes!!! Its great when a twig goes under the cover on the clippers and rev's it up for you

its not nice!!!!

haha, when i was younger(14) i fell off my dads shed roof in to a thorn hedge and the hedge trimmers cut my wrist!!!! god know's what i was even doing there!!

haix but not the blue ones, just got the new extreams and there excellent

So, will you keep using the chainsaw one-handed after your accident? Just curious...

this time i didnt use it 1 handed!!!! the saw wasnt running and the chain break was on!!! the piece was only small as well. when i put the cut in i could snap it with 1 hand and swing it around with its own motion to where i wanted it to land, it just got caught on something:thumbdown:

biggest dead elm ive ever seen/done,

only got the first day pictures as my mate finished it:thumbdown:

all the brash was to be stripped out and the long wood was being kept for furniture building

sadly only 2 on the ground and a fence so the ground work was slow

Cool, im proper sqeamish when it comes to cuts, Id prob have had the next day off haha broken bones and dislocations i can cope with but im not good with blood!!

broken bones makes me feel all funny like

yeah i can work, i finished the tree off then went and got it stitched up, climbed all day the day after and it was fine, no muscle damage

i cant spell it but creotin makes you angry, i would guess it has a over healthy dose

but not in the usual way!!!

i was sectioning down a leylandii, i put my snap cut in, chain break went on and turned the saw off!!! the piece was only small so i held the saw in one hand and grabbed the broom handled size bit but it got caught up and pushed towards me and shoved my arm across the top of the bar!!!

if the chain break wasnt on then i might of got a smaller cut!!!!

befor in the docs

after at home
