    Steve, Not received my Oregon Chainsaw pants from Les yet. Hopefully he will see this and respond. Rich.

    Your not wrong there mate. What with having the same ringtone as my alarm and this bloody recession. I get so eager and before i know it the missus thinks someone has a gun to her back.

    When my phone goes off on at 7am on a Sunday morning it is usually one of my customers wanting to be seen to. I end up running around, grabbing a couple of bottles of Champers and then popping over to provide a service. It is a right pain being a Gigolo these days. I remember the day I met up with wealthy widows , Mon - Fri 9-5pm.

    I think he was banned for recommending a Lidl Washing line pulley for rigging instead of a DMM or ISC block.

    I reckon the Goth Girls will love 'em. As for Chainsaw protection, never used them, sorry.

    Take them back to the retailer you purchased them from. See if they will exchange and send them back to the manufacturer.

    Why not just set your line as high as you can, Climb to that point and then progress to your end tie in point TIP using Alternate Lanyard Technique or both ends of the rope and alternate throws. Once there set your cambium saver, pulley saver and there you go.

    Mmmm... tres interesant!

    Yes mate. I usually taper about 2-3 inches of the end of the improvised core. Insert into the fid with only about half to a full centimetre of the shortest strand through the fid. Once you have pulled it to the hole or into the cover it shouldn't slip. I hope you can fathom what I am harping on about. Seems right in my head when I write it.

    I have caught a few core strands before. Not impossible to pull through but I had to shock it a hell of a lot. Then pull the tail of each core strand to take in the slack.
  15. Rich Rule
    I do I in 2 goes. Insert the pull fid where the core exits and exit at the insertion point to form the eye. One the core and new core are coming out of the same area. I insert the pull fid at the correctly measured mark towards the stopper knot and exit at the same point as the improvised core. Then pull this through the final 11 or 12 inches. Sorry cant remember the exact measurement. It also helps to taper the new core (cover) less bulk to pull through. Also make sure you haven't caught some of the original core but ensuring it can still move.
  16. Rich Rule
    16 strand or d braid? Are you trying to pull the tapered cover (read new core) through and past the original core in one go?
  17. Rich Rule
    I hear you mate, but it is a solution to a problem that I don't have ATM.

    I use the ART ball that came with my first ropeguide. I really can't believe I haven't lost it yet! I understand what you mean though about the larger balls having to be shaved down. I hate shaved balls, too itchy for me.

    With ring method, it is attached to the climbing line in a couple of ways, same as the ball retrieval method. (Apart from mine as it is permanently hitched to the spliced eye. Retrieval is the same apart from one thing, the ring may enter the pully horizontally and it wider than the two sides of the pully. So it could get stuck. A ball is the same diameter all round and which ever way it enters the pully it will exit. I think I will stick to the ball method. Never tried the double snapper but don't really get my pulley saver stuck that often. The key is in the placement and crotch selection. I like a nice wide crotch, bit like my women!
  20. Rich Rule
    Right I have looked at the description. How is the ring any different to a retrieval ball? It obviously is different but looks like it retrieves in an identical fashion. How or why is it so good?
  21. Rich Rule
    Near there.

    Just thinking the same, is Arbboy a reincarnation of Butler?
  23. Rich Rule
    I once heated the needle and burned through the nail. The pop and squirt as it went through was all most as you describe... Almost.

    Looked like he was riding the tree down. Using the 201t as a cowboy hat like at the rodeo!
