  1. To make space in my back yard wood store I've moved a half of the seasoned wood into my next door neighbours' bin storage area. This is an old terraced house that has one of those bin holes which has a little wooden door that can be accessed from the alley. I'm just a bit unsure if the wood will absorb any dampness as there is virtually no light and the bricks seem a little bit damp. There doesn't seem to be any water getting in so I'm assuming that its just condensation build up or something. On the inside of the store you can see the original wooden roof but there is asbestos on top of that now. I once put some willow in there that was a bit wet and it soon started growing fungus on it but I'm hoping that dry wood will stay dry...

     

    Does anyone else use this type of thing for storing wood?

  2. yea mine lasted about a year BUT it was starting to slip lol, most people on here seem to say 6months, but i recon you can get a little longer, for sap i would say it is better than a knot and def better in the wet weather, wet or dry it performs the same, but like has been said i started with a normal friction saver then got myself a ART friction saver with pulley and it is awsome (in my opinion) most would agree that spiderjack does take a whle to get used too, so give it chance, dont stop using it after a week lol, im converting a trainie lad with us, he hated it in the beginning and now he prefers it over vt that he has at collage!

     

    Thanks. So about a year at about £10 per clutch. That's not bad

  3. Double choking a cambium saver is fine if it is long enough to do so. Not sure what you mean by using two cambium savers though. Do you mean joined somehow to increase the length? If so I wouldn't, as there are plenty on the market that are fit for that purpose.

  4. Rather than leaving pegs which could be a hazard, I would rather use an adjustable friction saving device that you choke around the spar allowing you to descend then easily ascend. An example would be a ropeguide or a cheaper alternative. I've yet to set one up for myself.
