It's having the elastic go all the way down to the foot but inside the rope that makes the haas different and better. Loads more elastic to pull the ascender up.
-
if you had to lift someone in a rescue, the pulley would make it a **** tonne easier
-
looks nice wood to work with Rich-bar any sap of course
-
Ha, it does indeed!! Hope your well David
-
Did you put anything in to stiffen the eye buddy? Cocoon may be a tricky to retrieve if not, putting a plastic cap on the cocoon helps heaps. But nice work too
-
And a great Pohutakawa (nz Xmas tree) in Parnell Rose Gardens, Auckland.
-
A nice pic of nz ( well I think so!!) about 6kms from Hobbiton ( for real), lifting and thinning every tree in every paddock.

^ the arbormax- is that the fire retardant ones? Don't think your supposed to wash em. But your totally correct on you get what you pay for. Pfanner seem to of fixed the shite zip issue too.
-
Cloggers are pure rubbish bro compared to euro design trousers. I'd go with SIP or Pfanner every day.
-
20mins a record? Yale splicers at the factory do up to 40 per day!! Mental
-
as a professional splicer- you should be able to check to say, 95% accuarcy if its a good splice or not though. buta anyways, im not in the UK so ill leave you to it.
-
just seems a money making scheme that actually doesnt really help anyone apart from the big manufacturers
-
*several years ago..
-
how can just fail a splice like that? surely if your knowledgable about the splice and can see its followed the manufacture instructions then whats the reason to fail it? LOLER would drive me mad in the UK (this isnt aimed at the original poster, just in general)
-
I've just got the stretch air +7 bro, I'm same height as you and they fit perfect.
-
Brett- I'm not a huge fan of the unicender for descending big trees. Wear will be rapid on re device and the wrap over the top is quite dodgy if you have a lot of rope below you -anything over 30m+ Of rope and it won't automatically flick off on release. Also I have limited time on the unicender too so others may have better advice
-
Phoenix bro
-
Haas- haul ass ascent system. Check out the new video Michael ( designer of it) has on YouTube, haven't hot the link sorry bro
-
I too will go spikeless for as long as possible. I actually see very little difference between pruning and removals when it comes to actual climbing style.
-
I cannot remember what is was called exactly but did anything ever eventuate with 'international emergency arborists'?? the setup to help in areas of devastation etc..
-
^^^^as paul said
-
How's that different from isolating in drt though bro?
-
I use the d4 most, purely as I find it real simple to setup- being lowerable isn't really a great plus in my books. For work when cutting is involved I'd rather a canopy anchor
-
though there is no factory approved hand splice for XTC
-
get it spliced bro
