  1. Thanks for the 3 theories.
  2. It has been asked twice now and here is the 3rd time... Can anyone enlighten me as to the cause of the ripple?
  3. Don't envy you there John. I did a bit of a chogathon with the 880 today up an oak tree.
  4. What exactly and how would you mod the muffler on a 441 Steve? Do you have any pics of devious mods? Cheers.
  5. I am booked up contract climbing for about 6 weeks at the moment. Not a day free. Currently booking into the 2nd week in December. Before we know it, it will be 2015 and it all starts again.
  6. Nice, I enjoyed that Tim.

  8. Short arse! The jackets look spot on aswell. Might try one if my cut and climb loses the plot.
  9. You like them Hodge? Did you find them a bit short in the leg or were they ok for you? I am 6'4" and they fit fine but it would have been nice to have a long leg option as they ride up a bit when climbing.
  10. A terrible incident indeed. If someone didn't do there job to cordon the area off... But then as we know, members of the public tend to ignore these things a lot of the time and just wander through. We may find out what happened after the investigation. RIP.
  11. <p>Are you the same Valentino Petrescu who competes in MMA?</p>

  12. Try getting a price for the JoBeau and palet to the isle of mull mate. I bet it will be more than the southcoast. That's life I'm afraid.
  13. Sequoia fell from today. Tree had lost its top a few years ago. Felled at that height to give a bit more room at the tip and to save it smashing a nearby oak. Rich
  14. Knocked over a Giant Sequoia today in the winds. The tree had lost its top quite a few years ago. Before anyone asks, no I haven't a bad back. I felled it that height to give a bit of extra clearance at yon end. Felling at the base would have probable wiped out a fair bit of the oak crown. [ame] [/ame]
  15. Joe. It was Mr Ed. A guy who used to post here. Not sure what the video was called though.
  16. Missed this. Oh well, i don't check the lounge much. Looks like you had a laugh.
  17. SNes Mariokart. N64 Goldeneye. Counterstrike on PC. Not played games for years though.
  18. Yes mate I do, they are fine and the pass through pockets are great. I like the combat style pockets on the sides as well. They do great jackets but I haven't tried them as I have the Cut and Climb.
  19. Best way mate. Plug the gopro in and export from camera. Sometimes exporting from the card and reader gives errors when you delete them. When I plug. One I. It automatically opens iPhoto. I just import and then delete the files from the card in that. Once on the mac I use the gopro studio software I mentioned.
  20. Josh, does the air have USB? If it has just download the movies straight to the mac. I use the gopro studio software, free from the gopro website. Not mastered it completely but can do what I want to do.
  21. Looking forward to the new design. I use these at the moment and they are excellent. I think the design is spot on with extra material around the arse and knees. Helikon ECWCS Trousers Generation II Black
  22. Cheers, there are a couple of other vids with rigging on my youtube channel if your interested.
  23. I agree some people need to train to make work easier. I train usually 2 or if I am lucky 3 times a week. That is nothing to do with tree climbing more for my own mental state. I am sure it helps with the work. I contract climb 5 or 6 days a week. For me I think the main advantage that can be gained at work is to work smart. The industry has moved on and equipment has improved somewhat. IMO puffin and pantin you way to the top of a large tree is not that smart IMO. Sometimes it has to be done but why not get good with a throw line, install an access line and SRT up there. It is about working smarter and can guarantee this will prolong your climbing careers more than a gym workout.
  24. :001_tt2: I know, haha, just winding you up mate.
