    I use a recycled tyre rubber bucket and it's excellent, will not crack or degrade with uv. Very hard wearing. Use less wraps than a normal bollard and watch out for your rigging point, you can snap it out! There can be a lot of force generated by the GRCS!

    You have to be trained to use a defib!

    Andy, I told my first aid instructors the course is a waste of time and a money making scam! If the situation arose where a tourniquet or a set of haemostats were required to save a life I would use them. You could save your friends life, he may be pissed off if he looses a limb but he will be alive! If you do nothing or just use direct pressure in that situation he will die! There are kids patrolling in Afghanistan with tourniquets strapped to their legs in anticipation of having their legs blown off! The tourniquet will save their life. Rant over!

    Carbon Gekos, very light and comfy. Velcro top with buckle bottoms.

    I use a 10m lanyard, solves most problems.

    Don't worry about what you have done and what you have to go just keep going until it's all gone!

    The problem with the portal is you don't always need all the info that's on there and it won't let you skip that bit, it can be a pain! At least it was when I last used it.

    The plank in the first video was braking instead of using the engine!
  11. Paul Smith
    Yes, no problem!

    If you are on the ground and you tie on your retrieval ball and throw line. Pull the rope through, the pulley saver will come out and the throw line will go over the crotch/branch. Simply lower the pulley saver with the throw line. It's just the reverse of installing a cambium saver from the ground.

    Depends on what you bought.

    Keep the cube on the floor! Retrieve the rope as normal, this will gently lower the cambium saver, rope guide etc.

    Have you got rid of the 560?
  16. Paul Smith
    For £6 you can get at least a month maybe more out of them.

    I know, just giving an alternative choice.

    Have you seen the size of some of the yank pickups? They are like transits, I would imagine they are thirsty.

    262xp only they don't make it anymore!

    Try looking at the sheep sheds, I like the look of them and you can get plant in them.
  21. Paul Smith
    How much are they?
  22. Paul Smith
    Nice idea Steve!

    Paul, the one I used was called a Treecreeper, I was given it by a forester on a patch I was managing. A mate of mine sold one not so long ago so I will ask him where he got it, I gave mine back as its not much cop on hardwoods!

    Let me do my research, very limited but in the right place very good. You should use a safety system:blushing:

    Like mine.
