  1. You may be rolling off satisfied, but is she ???
  2. Using a prussic when you can use a VT is like using a footpump when you have a compressor
  3. Thats easy to solve. Yes madame that will cost a little more, and a bit more, and just a bit more
  4. Nice Simon,, I've been meaning to stick some on mine for the last two years On a tangent I know but how did you get on with the landy head
  5. Tachyons fine, I had a brand new 13mm rope sat on the shelves for about 2 years so decided to see if it worked better with the Lockjack.....it didn't make a difference
  6. Is this correct ??
  7. Cheers for that Rich, saves me a lot of greif that
  8. Thanks for that Nod, very informative post and as per usual your input is very much appreciated and respected.
  9. My mewp works well on sideways trees
  10. ooohh that was nasty wee Frank !!!!
  11. That looks well dodgey, I'd stay well clear and get my mewp in
  12. Hahaha......I've never said "Ooops" so many times in a tree as I have whilst using the LJ
  13. Its the roblon 8mm I am using at the moment I think, found a piece in my garage. I like the look and feel of the ocean polyester, was looking at it at the show I'll have a go with the ice next week
  14. What cord and size of cord do you used Steve ?
  15. On the subject of VT does anyone use Samson Ice tail for VT cord ?
  16. Just the jerkiness on descent and the lack of control when branch leaping Tommy
  17. After using the lockjack for the last three or four years I have gone back to the VT today and found it a breath of fresh air. Nice and controllable compared to LJ. The only downside is up 12" down 4" and dressing the knot before loading, but I can live with that. The LJ was very jerky on descending or pushing off and down to another branch I might not go back
  18. Awesome mate
  19. If you took the Roman Chariot Spikes off your wheel hubs they may not give you as wide a berth
  20. I went to price a job the other day and the neighbour (who wanted the tree cut in half) was keen to point out that the last Tree surgeon stung the tree owner because they hardly took anything off, when he got home from work it wasn't much different. I was itching to tell him it was me. The client wanted a reduction keeping the shape and form of the tree, the neighbour wanted it lopping. It was a painstaking ball ache of a reduction (20%) done with silky and secutares, the ignorant turd
  21. The brummel is mainly used on hollow braid I believe I'm only a beginner I'm sure someone will come along and explain
  22. I've never seen a duck in a tree before David, except after it's been shot and got hung up
  23. Rupe would have used his arsenal of pulleys though !! Not a piddley two pulleys.
  24. Haven't seen one of those in a Puzzler before, new type of crossword ??
  25. Definately Rupetastic
