Scruff the rope up a bit. Maybe the zz will work then? I don't use a zig zag so I don't have any experience on that top and combo.

Sliders mate. Not sandals. A complete different kettle of fish.

Or a Star Trek fan. Sandles and socks in the Uk - social outcast/nerd. Sandles and socks in Sweden - Fashionista / social influencer. Go for it, I am sure you will fit in.

Haha. You’re a freak wearing 49’s. Cant really blame a manufacturer for not catering for sasquatches. 🤪 I think Andrew’s are great boots. On my second pair. First ones lasted about 3 years and are still wearable, just the rand split a bit so bought a new pair for last winter.

I don’t work in Forestry I am afraid but the 400 is a great saw and a delight to use. Puts a proper smile in my face when I use it up a tree. I can imagine you’d be sporting the same smile using it on the ground. As for the longevity of it in a forestry scenario…. I have no idea. I don’t think it has been out long enough to see how it fares day in day out.

In response. The bollards and the trolley are Reg’s ideas and not Stein. The X2’s are horrendous to wear and some of the most uncomfortable spikes I have tried. No idea who invented the Vega harness. But had a go and it wasn’t for me. My comment was based on the history of Stein taking a good product and relabelling it. Then the quality of that product reducing rapidly. Just look at their first version of the Rain Jackets. They were cycling ones, worked great and did the job. Then most of the people I know who them bought them found they were wearing a tbag. Their cubes were just copies of the Falteimers and Weaver fold flat throw line cubes. I have had one Falteimers cube for over 8 years and apart from the dirt it is as good as new. I have seen Stein cubes fall apart in the first week. Just my experiences.

I find Notch to be fine tbh. The Rope Runner Pro is a delight to use. So are the Gecko spikes. Which of Stein’s products are original ideas?
-
Personally I would buy a big shot, just because it isn’t made by Stein.
-
So you have thought about it, realise you have a use for it. Just buy a new one.

New member and first question

It is a bit old now but a pretty good resource. Old school, by that I mean it is an actual book, made with paper and such. Not a load of web pages or half arse YouTube videos. Worth buying for the basics IMO. The basics are just as relevant today as they were 20 years ago.

Is it blue? Many moons ago... when I was a youth we used to drive down to York Dragway. They would do ‘Run what you brung’ days. There was a dude there once with a cossie engine in a Reliant Kitten. It was mental.

Just get the Kitten and not a Robin. Think of the extra weight that fourth wheel will allow you to carry.

Not really sure what that video is doing. Seems a lot of faffin’ I also thought it was bad juju to climb on a toothed ascender when there is a potential for shock loading? I.e. the adjustability of the second anchor ‘avec le duck’ I am sure there are better or safer options out there.

I would click the link and follow the instructions mate. The original poster might not check back very regularly. -
Nice. Got many memories of that area. I lived in Darlo till I was 11. Firstly over Near Dodmire school and the old Cleveland Bridge, Neasham road area. Then we moved to Mowden, but the other side. My uncle still lives near the model T. I would have gone to Hummersnot school had we not moved away. Did you grow up in that area?

Where abouts on the Tees? Spent many days as a kid at Broken Scar collecting conkers, and walking the dog. Did a lot of fishing with my old man at various stretches on the Tees and the Wear.

This a a tree forum mate. I think you are confusing it with your fetish site. 90% of your posts have a sexual connotation. Do you realise it is nearly all blokes here? If that’s your bag then no worries. Any chance you could post something relevant for a change? Asking for a few friends!

I used to work with a guy who’s previous job was UK wide Technician for the VW Amazon model. I am not sure about the latest versions but his comments were that they wouldn’t last long. Same engine as a Golf With two turbos strapped to it to get the power.

@Justme So by the looks of it... The only one with 19.01.13 change is A. BE - has no code. D1 - 101 - not for hire or reward (that is, not to make a profit). C1E - 107 - not more than 8,250 kilograms. D1E - 101, 119 - not for hire or reward (that is, not to make a profit), weight limit for vehicle does not apply.

Here is what was returned when I upgraded and changed address.

Fair enough, but if you are supposed to take these things as the rules and regs we have to meet. You are only going on what the official website it stating are your entitlements. How could you be prosecuted if there was an issue when you are only following the guidelines?
