Nice work bro-now splice the sirius into an endless loop running through the pinto-thatll look super slick:)
-
only really tried my tachyon as working away from home were all my gear is. i imagine my globe will fly on it.
-
nah bro, if the truck can fit it, chuck it in. then squeeze a bit more on. there probably is a rule somewhere but ive never heard of anyone ever getting pulled. the joys of driving with woodchip spilling out the back
-
Hey Kev, ive got a pretty short tether between the unit and the hitch-ill see if making it even shorter effects the performance much. i tried it long but that definetley did not work for my style. ill see if can put a pic up to compare with others
-
Hey Ian, surely you can get test days where AB and the bandit dealer will deliver and you can test one against the other? That way you get to see how they work in your work environment and not others.. and if your looking for contact climbers/training to use all this new gear, just yell:) glad to hear the council move is working well for you bro and gutted i didnt get to catch you when i was in turangi last week-next time bro
-
or just melt a small hole at the end and attach retrieval ball through that. or whip a small eye on and attach via that. Dont whip an eye that looks strong enough to climb on though-i did and accidently clipped into-amazing how strong whipping twine is!

Many thanks to the uber cool guys and girls at Products | Actsafe-Ascenders who have supplied us with two 4 stroke ascenders and static line for the next Ambrym trip departing June 15th. Also cheers Macpac New Zealand | Macpac who will be supplying the clothing, tents and food for the expedition.

yes mate of course, we'll chuck in some unicenders as well. really liking the tree wrench at the moment apart from the tether keeps wrapping around the rope between the hitch and the wrench.all good though.

Singing Tree Rope Wrench! ( *the shiny metal version :D* )
DrewB replied to BenR's topic in Climbers talk
only had a very limited time on it but swings are sweet, it offers a real nice controlled amount of friction and ascends real easy without obstructing the hitch. still got to play around with the length of the tether though to fine tune it more -
Recieved a new Pinto from Treetools | tree climbing, rigging, pruning and safety equipment and DMM after returning mine last week with surface abrasion. Top service guys, appreciate it.

just had a "Singing tree Wrench" turn up so looks like ill be back on the srt work mode for the foreseeable future. cheers TreeStuff.com Professional Arborist Supplies and Tree Climbing Gear
-
ill take some pics of mine bro. the tolerance is slightly tighter on one side than the other and this is where the anodizing wore off. i think just a very minute deflection has caused the abrasion on mine though.

If gump does the masters at the worlds like that he gets legend status for a long long time......and probably prison.
