  4. It drives me crazy when I cannot get hold of someone on site when there is no coms and they have an earpiece in listening to a podcast etc. on my jobs I tell them it is a no no.

  14. Meant to reply last night but ended up going out shooting. I have:had the Akimbo and Akimbo Max, the first being the Gofundme version and the latter a prototype sent out to the Gofundme contributors for testing. Both of them were great IME if you had a dry day, zero humidity, clean tree and a brand new rope. If any of the above factors changed then the device was a POS. Jaime even sent me a new cam for the Gofundme version with slightly different angles to try and compensate for easier release of the top lever as it would bind up and be almost impossible to descend. Again, IME it didn’t really change anything. Worked well until you introduced any of the factors I mentioned above. I was forever faffing about to get it to work. I even said it to Jaime that I wish he had sent them to be tested by production climbers in Europe. Rather than some of the California crews who climb in dry conditions. Oh, I didn’t mention sap. A sticky Spruce in the height of summer means you pretty much can’t move anywhere. Also bear in mind I was coming from having used the Rope wrenches and Rope Runners since they were launched along with an early edition Compact Bulldog Bone. The Akimbo looked neat and had real potential just not reliable enough for an everyday work tool, like the others I mentioned. The RE production models might be different but I have never climbed on one. I still have my Gofundme prototype in the truck, gathering dust. Cool looking paperweight though.

  16. Noticing a lot of this Steve. Maybe my 5g though.
  17. May well have been. I haven’t seen the video you mentioned though. This guy I am referring to was one of the first AA Approved contractors in the SE of England along with Down 2 Earth and Keven Watt at Quality tree care.
  18. Incidentally this same bloke drove around in his Discovery listening to classic FM all day. It was like something from “A Clockwork Orange”
  19. Been there and done that. Had a wicked sub woofer under the passenger seat in my hilux. When a cool chune came in I would crank up the bass. Passengers said it felt like they had been violated LOL.
  20. Sounds like the old codger I first worked for. The owner of the “020” Used to drive me mental, hated blacks, gays and everything in between, couldn’t read or write and was married to his cousin, but he knew his trees. I kept my gob shut and cracked on, after a year and a half I had had enough when he prodded me in the chest one morning for something that had happened the day before. I lost it with him and had a few choice words to say. He never prodded me again and I left soon after. @Mike Hill also worked for him back in the noughties. 😜 Fun times eh Mike?
  21. Look on the plus side Mick, at least the ladies attention was back where it belongs, On the climber. 🤪
