  3. Whatever brown, you've just got a big ladder
  4. Hey bro, you won't know til you wear it yourself ya know.... Unless you've got an identical twin in the uk to try for ya:)
  5. ill have a look at those bro-they sound good. biggest problem in aucklqnd is the humidity..
  6. the lightest here are the cloggers bro. The stretch airs are too hot for work in auckland, i like SIP progress but the black colour is a bitch. Those Husky trousers are too hot and mine just fell apart.

    Pull it!

    hey aaron-i can send you the instructions to make a micro frog srt setup using beeline if you want
  8. I trialled one about 3 months ago an gotta say I thought it was total and utter crap. Backpack was too heavy, cord too easy to cut, battery didn't last long enough etc. the new Stihl battery saw however was actually really good.
  9. And they cut some huge limbs with those things, it's pretty incredible watching them trim up and old shelter belt.
  10. pretty sure you cant buy the rings seperate from the sequoia harness.. if your using an 8mm bridge i would definetly have at least a 6mm bacnkup bridge going through the hole as well. 8mm will look very skinny when its loaded, especially at height. and therees been enough stories of bridges failing recently..... as for loler, id be dubious
  11. its still probably very strong bro but if you have to ask the question, its already time to replace it. last thing you want is that question bugging you as you climb......
  12. Oh god, here we go.....
  13. There will be a srt best practice guide comIng out very soon via the TCIA. That may help insurance matters....And it will be ascent and work positioning:)
  14. thirded.... on ya steve
  15. nice work Gareth-how come it was being removed?
  16. dont hand the 80kgs of human life of that non CE splice but sweet as to rig 250kg+ lumps of wood onto it above groundstaff....hmm funny conclusion about splices there Dog Tag.

    Pulley saver

    id climb on it bro. the beeline should be a class 2 splice but i dont think it would be an issue. But technically its wrong. Be interesting to see what would happen in a pull test...
  18. not sure bro. a lot/ most of the hitch cords sold arent sold as PPE though
  19. NZ is crap for money but it's such a nice place it doesn't matter-well not enough to make leave anyway. It's all good, just come here for a good time and not worry about how much you could be earning in other countries.
  20. yeah and butter gets rid of the sap but can stink.most veg or nut oils seem to get rid of it

    Bat Plates

    as kev said...
  22. Hey bro, Eliminates a bit of sit back and Twist. Works really good with a short hitch cord but I now use a longer hitch so the ring just kinda flopped to the side..
