I think you'd be surprised at how much you can move in a wheels bin. Great for through the house jobs as they fit through most doors.

Personally I would have a chat with the guy and explain you are a contract climber and not a miracle worker. If he is an understanding guy he may listen but more often than not he will not want to hear your comments, he will just want the job done. Is he expecting you to bring the rigging kit? As for the rescue climber situation, it should be a minimum from his staff to be capable of an aerial rescue. Of course I haven't seen the tree but if it is as bad as you make out, I would probably have walked just because the guy sounds like he is taking the P.

Missed you mate. We were camping at the bottom of the field. John Shutler had a Hennessy Hammock tied off to a big oak tree and his pick. A couple of tents and a tranny conversion my mate slept in. Tom D turned up on the saturday night aswell and pitched up his Yurt.

I get at least 2 years outta Airstreams. I am now on my 3rd pair. Might be worth checking but the last I heard was that Meindl were offering a 2 years warranty on the boots. Take em back or at least talk to your supplier.

Nice work Josh. Those Avants are great.

I've had 2 vertex and am now on my second alveo. Both are going strong just in different countries. I leave on there when I am working away. I think it comes down to fit. I find the alveo sits better on me swede than the new vertexs do. Try both before you choose.

Well done to both Matt and Jo. Good stuff.
-
Good luck mate with the move. All the best to you and yours!

I like spiders, they have character and can become great friends and always obey and respect the house owner. I have one in my shed that I pop out to see now and again. He is easy to find as you can hear him crawling about. Plus, spiders kill and eat flies and we all know they puke and crap on our food. Flies are dirty little insects. I don't like cats!

12" or 14" mate. Leave the 16" to our american friends. Just get a bigger saw sent up if you need more cutting length.
-
Please don't take this the wrong way but if you aim is to lose weight why make it easier? Just climb with the hitch climber setup and forget the mechanical advantage. Your body will adapt to the technique and climbing will become easier.

Yeah the first picture I posted with the 9mm tenex was just put together for the pic. Never climbed on the accessory biner. I changed it out the next day.

I just use a Lyon tape sling around my shoulders and clip the middle hole of my hc to it and clip the hhaas to that. Just did another one tonight. Bought some 6mm liros and spliced an thimble into it tonight.

Unlucky MOG. I am sure I'll hear all about it next week when I get to Oslo. Currently in Gotland and headin to Oslo on Sunday. Well done for making it there mate.

Anyone know how MOG got on or Jungle?

Coos bay is similar to the box cut but I use 1 less cut. Compression side first at a 45* angle undercut, then the same on the side closest to you so you form a v in the cut if you can imagin that, still on the underside. You should note where the two cut are in the top of the limb and then power through the top cut until she pops off. It leaves a triangular shaped hinge on the stubb.

I would use the Coos Bay cut. Similar to the box cut.

Why not pull one out of the crafters? There is one in each one isn't there. Tbh mate I would get the stein 2 ton bollard for 40 quid more.

No Al, I think you may have confused me with someone else. I have never had a Uni. Dan Curtis is Mr Uni. I climb on RW and VT HC combo.
-
Yeah right oh! Haakon copied an old climbing line in my shed. Good work on the trees Mr Git.
-
Nice Loom band.

Mine is fine Tommy.
