    Anyone have any further information about these? A couple of mates got hold of the RR on the first release. Now they swear by them. I quite fancy a go, if anyone has one to flog or knows how to get me hands on one then give me a shout. Cheers.

    it will be in the New Year now as I am on holiday form the festive period. Joe, it uses gear but when there are 5 or 6 climbers on site you have to be productive as roads/lanes are only closed for so long. Thing is with the micro frog system or SRT setup you just leave it all on the line and retrieve it at the end. Yu could argue that you actually climb with less kit as you take a rope bag up with you, access the tree, pop in a rope guide and climbing system and then through the bag down the desired route.

    Ben it is the case with both forums. The TH has a smaller number of members contributing whereas AT moves faster due to the number of posts and members. Half the time I don't even see the good threads here as I miss them. Keeping on filming.

    Or get an access line, hand ascender and a croll. You could knock up a Microfrog system sharpish and then ascent, then switch to rope guide and climb on your usual system. That is how we do it in Norway. Lots of deadwooding. Set a load of access lines and then when you get down the next tree is ready to rock. Nice vid by the way. I have a deadwooding job on at the moments, large mature beech trees. 48 of them, 17 fells and the rest d/wooding. Was gonna do a go pro pruning vid as the trees are pretty stunning. The work is boring but it will make a change.

    Yeah, the Rab one is nice mate... you nearly didn't get it back. Me and Matteo were fighting over it. I won when I pointed out it wouldn't even fit the Italian Stallion.

    Macbook Pro. On my 3rd round of Apple Mac's now. As someone posted, check out the refurb store on Apples website. There is always student discount available as well. I am not sure though if you can get a discounted refurb machine and then apply the additional student discount. Give it a go, your daughter will love you once she gets used to the Mac. Not saying she doesn't love you now..

    May have changed now but the last time I pulled a line out was about 8 years ago. It was only 160 to repair, at 200 to drop, I know which option I would be going for.

    Good work mate and nice vid. Not sure myself on the backbone but thanks for taking the time to explain and show it to us in the work environment. Where was the job mate? Looked familiar but then most North Yorkshire villages look the same to me

    The guy who made the original post is literally about 3 miles from FR Jones. Good prices and good service and lots of stock for repairs and stuff.

    I just tie an alpine butterfly above the running bowline. Connect to another rope via a crab, take a wrap right round another tree and cut the rope between the alpine butterfly and running bowline. KISS

    No worries. I find it retrieves well in narrow ropes. When I have used it with tachyon you notice a bit of friction. It retrieves well even thought from force of habit it tend to descent and leave the tree on a similar route to the retrieval end.

    No you wouldn't use a spacer for the pinto top tie. The alpine is in The loop where the where the spacer would be.

  19. Rich Rule
    Nice couple of clips there Reg. Sounds like overall it was an experience. Would you do it again?
