A new site is up for jobs etc in NZ. Home It's brand new at the moment sowill have a few technical grumbles but it will be THE place for all job listings-employer, employee, contract climbers, gear for sale. Anyone looking for employment or staff in NZ drop dave an email. Dave will be based in the UK to answer questions, check suitability with companies etc.. NZ has a major lack of arborists at the moment so get on board!!!

Spliced 8mm was a tad stronger than the stitched but the difference was 1kN so nothing I would worry about. 8mm OP btw. I think the stitched blew at 16kN so were never going to experience that amount of force and survive anyway. And also it was pulled end to end so configured in a way we won't ever really use. I've never seen a stitched or spliced eye fail in a properly configured test.

Something that I've seen with pintos spliced like this is that the retrieval shackle can get sucked up between the legs of the Prussic. Had it happen a few weeks ago, and your stuck. It's a right pain. I'd now just put a spacer between and splice a loop to stop this happening.

Joe kicked arse man:) and yep that 48" bar is a flexy bar steward!
-
whats the difference between stein beeline and beeline?
-
never seen that before bro, weird. looks like something got caught and dragged around the pulley
-
craning the stems out. last piece was 5t, 088 with the 48" bar. 3 trucks loads of wood and smiles all round
-
easy calculation is 25x and 10x for short. so 10mm rope is 250mm fid and 100mm short fid
-
That worn middle layer doesn't really do much though, the actual core looks pretty good.
-
3 truck loads of just dead needles ian!! the hub just had 2 dead eyes for balancing some of the limbs over the pohutakawa trees below, there expensive little toys but there damn good.
-
great vid bro, nicely done.
-
what about climbing gear being brought into the country by a climber? equip that has been used by the climber-do you just need toi show date of first use??
-
Micro rigging bro, it's the future!!
-
I've broken stitched eyes but not vs a splice
-
A less than perfect splice is a splice that should be cut off- and may very well be weaker than a knot. Through the test we've done the fishermans has always choked the rope to point of cutting through itself-but modern ropes are so strong that even this is something that I wouldn't worry about. But I agree with tony,get stuff spliced properly and bin the knots!!!

why snatch when youve got a crane? road would have to be closed anyway to get rid of the wood.....
-
Treemotion...
-
hopefully along with timbers description this will help...
-
for some reason adam wears cams out too quickly (sorry bro) Hitch all the way, welcome back.....
-
its pretty cool that a small nation like nz will have 4 climbers at the world champs this year. Nicky as nz champ, Ross as nz champ, jimmy as Asia Pacific champ and scott as world champ. and if chrissy hadnt of retired she would of gone as world champ also! NZ you rock
-
Will do, possibly not for a day or 2 though
-
Revolver on one end and a crab with a fixe on the other- retrievable.
-
lots of the trucks in nz dont have roller doors but normal doors with a hollow bar behind them. to securely lock them, you lift the tipper and insert a bar through the hollow and lower the tipper. Do trucks in the UK have it like this, i cant remember! if not would pics help?
-
anyone know much about these guys? they seem pretty on the game with the new stuff, ive never come across them before
