yeah ive played on the RADS sysstem a bit. i never really used it for access, always prefer the hand ascender, chest ascender set up. does speed up the ol changeover to descent though! definetly has a place in our industry i reckon, i dont think petzl agrees with the grigri being use this way though

i suppose a mid line bowline with long tail would be a super simple way as well..

How To Get My Saws To New Zealand
DrewB replied to Tree Menders's topic in International Arborist Forum
MS200t is about $1600 here remember and new 201t not out for a couple of months. i just cleaned the hell out of mine, took spark plug out, got as much fuel and oil out as possible, removed the bar, shrinkwrapped the engine and just put it in my rucksack and flew over with one. had no problems at all, but not condoning you do it -
How To Get My Saws To New Zealand
DrewB replied to Tree Menders's topic in International Arborist Forum
a shipping company will get your saws over easy-you just cant fly them out here. and make sure they are VERY clean. It isnt very expensive, just takes about 6 weeks. -
no i didnt bro but its an exact copy. Get some either 8mm or 10mm cord (sirius used here) approx 3.5m in length.slide a bit of tubing (about 1 inch) onto the cord and slide til it site in the middle. heat shrink in place if required. then place legs of rope next to each other and work out the size of eye required i find a couple of inches on each leg forms approx the right size eye. stitch them together down the length from the eye to near the end leaving enough to tie a stopper knot on each end. i have a wichard shackle in one of my stopper knots in nZ i got my shackle from wichard shackle (large) but out of nz im not sure. hope that helps

All good David, i dont have the grigri!!!
-
disagree bro-i think its essential to have an escape route when working on spikes. its only one sling made into a prussic, it only takes about a minute to do after all.(presume were talking about the same thing)
-
I think this is the ideal situation fore the wrench.. i tie a prussic witha ring as a cinch knot and climb below it-pull the tail down to retrieve for working the next section of spar. ill get some pics of the setup, basically the same as taylor does.
