Nice mog John. How is it going?
-
Love it when a plan comes together. Good job.
-
I supplement tree work with Muay Thai, or is it the other way around, not worked that one out yet. Stretching is great and I should do more. I've been telling myself that for years but for some reason it falls on deaf ears!

I tried the pinto setup for a while but soon went back to the HC. It just felt right and I used to chop and change from single to doubled rope. It was a pain if you did that with the pinto.

Done plenty very similar in Clapham, Streatham, Fulham, Wimbledon etc. never fun and a proper ball ache. One guy I used to work for had the right idea though. He used to butter them up saying how nice the decor was etc. He said all this at the quoting stage that we would do our best to put down plastic or sheets and use ply to line the walls etc, but we could only do so much. He would also put n a sly suggestion that if they popped to the local supermarket got some card etc and did a bit of lining on door frames and corners of walls... We used to turn up and the place would look like a scene from CSI, plastic sheeting, card on door frames. All we would do would roll out a bit of carpet and some plywood propped up against the walls and crack on.

LiveLeak.com - Stubborn cyclist Vs Falling tree I wonder if he is ok?

Where is it? It looks just like an arial adventure course I visited just outside Brussels last summer. It was great fun.

If you have an iPhone mate, the Samson splicing app is great. Links to all their online instructions and youtube videos when they are available.
-
I don't use one mate. I just use a small crab and sling for most of mine or the thing judge developed. I was just trying to explain how it would work.
-
Good video mate. Shows the fig8 redirect well.
-
I had a little thing that Judge developed. Worked a treat but unfortunately it fell of my harness never to be found again. I have just realised in my little mind that I could do exactly the same with a fig8 I never use. Pass a bite of rope through the centre of a fig 8, around the limb and back through the fig 8. Then three or four or five or six bites (loops) of the tail end of the rope through the loop that has been passed through the fig8. Clip a small accessory bina through the small hole on a fig 8 and clip to the working end of you line. When finished the working on the redirect pull the tail of the line and the loops will come out and the fig 8 will come back to you via the accessory bina to you. Hey presto a retrievable redirect.

Fig8 on a sling, girth hitched to a limb and loaded as normal. It would provide a bit of resistance and the slack can be taken out or tightened up? I presume...

Live the dream mate. Hard work usually pays off in the end. Remember, laughter is the best medicine, unless your asthmatic, then it is Ventolin. Good luck. -
Great work Paul. Looked a bit of a miserable day for it, but I enjoyed watching the rigging solutions. Good stuff.
-
Cheers mate. It works! Thanks to you.
-
Got a link Jesse?
-
Could have done with watching this. Won't play in Norway Either.

I bet those thieves voted Tory Geoff

Looks to be pulling in the FM well Mick. You selling to someone over there or a buyer from the UK?
-
Nice work Jesse. Say hello to Callum from me.
-
Surely a simple overhand knot doesn't need untieing? Even the most pedant of pedants can see if it has been done correctly. Now if my LOLER inspector failed a harness on that reason then I would be using some one else.
-
If you drill the exhaust and timing advance it will pull bar length in Oak. Well, mine does. I am lucky enough to have a couple of ported 200t's left that run very nicely. Hopefully they will do me for a while yet.
-
What bob said.
-
The 150 is an awesome little saw, with a timing advance and muffler mod it is better than the early 201t's. I haven't used the new models so cannot really comment.
-
Enjoyed that one mate. I love it when you turn up on site and have to make a plan on the fly. Or basically make it up as you go along. The most enjoyably type of work for me. Good stuff.
