    Words fail me!

    well he obviously trusts the crane driver!

    i would of thought any of the small stihls, huskys or echos will be fine for your needs, get it from a friendly local dealer , try and keep the chain sharp and get the fuel mix right. no need to get a full blown pro saw unless you have money to burn. carl

    serious hi ab truck!! do you use radio coms in your helmet for those sort of jobs? thanks for sharing carl
  4. carlos
    intercoms in the helmet are brilliant, make everything run smoother and safer, well worth getting imo.

    tried the cut and climb, total crap and not waterproof, i got a berghaus walking coat from a charity shop for a tenner, not goretex but quiet thick fabric, i was a bit dubious how long it would last for work but its lasted for a good few years and is pretty waterproof and a good easy to put on desisgn, none of this over the head nonsense. personally i wouldnt bother with the specific arb jackets as i think they are a bit over priced for there level of actual waterproofness. carl

    cool thread they all look nice. what sort of distance is there from the top of the stove to the under side of the mantel??? it think i may have cocked mine up with it being too close ( its not actualy in yet though) thanks carl

    id be thinking along the lines of potentially damaging and having to repair the clients house vrs donning my harness and sectioning the tree! the later seems easier to me. we did use the multiple angled stake anchor once for a fell, worked fine

    i wasnt trying to be smart, i was just thinking was there any point trying to comply with some things and climbing on devices that arnt CE marked ( not 100% sure if its ce marked or not) although some of these devices are bloody good and i can only assume it costs too much to go through the certification process. which is a shame as climbers are missing out.

    jake is the rope runner CE certified?,

    you could look online for an exploded view parts manual to see if its all there and set up properly, cant help other than that. jotuls are nice stoves!

    i made one similar to this apart from my foot loop stays on my foot and i clip to it with a micro karribiner. these are easy to make and the acssender is the only cost really. the haas looks bulky to me, not really used one though.

    well he would of been mighty chuffed then if he had rats.

    every one moans about young lazy youths etc, are there not people in their 30,s 40,s with a bit of experience and a better more steady work ethic around??? might have to pay them a bit more but might be worth it as apposed to continually looking for and changing staff.

    i had a go on mates new ART positioner yesterday and it was annoyingly nice to use!
  15. carlos
    i use a pantin, on longer acsess assents i put a small krab on it to stop it poping off. i can flick it off without having to bend all the way down just with the rope. do you have to actually flip out the lever with other brands?? would of thought this may be a bit slow when climbing srt? just wondering as ive only ever used the pantin. thanks carl
  16. carlos
    i think carb stuff and tuning on chainsaws is difficult if your not sure what your doing, ive never had much joy and usally end up taking it to a shop for fear of wrecking it. too nicer saw to mess up! hope you get it going.

    we do have a spare solenoid valve but im thinking to take it to a dealer, as some of the parts suggested are a bit pricey to find it wasnt the problem if you know what i mean. thanks carl.

    i think new climbers will be most at risk when using two rope systems, as rope managment is something new climbers often struggle with and can end up in a right tangle leading to frustration and often a feeling of being unproductive, which can lead to loss of temper and erratic cuts and saw use. any trainers on here??? how do they feel about teaching this new system, what problems do they foresee? self rescue could well be hindered and slower with a two rope system and in the case of a severe cut from a chainsaw , fast self rescue is often the key as time is of the essence in this situation.

    did wonder that as couldnt see much of a spark. thanks

    the 201tcm cut out mid use and wont start at all. fires once when trigger is on full and your pull starting it but wont run at all?? was running fine until this. any ideas , thinking it needs someone with software to check it out. thanks carl
  21. carlos
    those images look interesting, recon a sling and krab round the redirect branch would work better for friction and also you wouldnt have to put the whole of your rope round the branch. might see if it works with the bulldog bone and just a simple prussic for the second anchor drt bit. thanks for the share.
  22. carlos
    i ve been thinking that in order to appease the hse , then one easy enough step to take that probably wouldnt effect ones climbing too much would be, a second back up anchor point, in the form of a split tail and ring or somthing similar tied off to a different stem or lower down. not sure how this could be retrivable but iam sure someone would figure it out. if this became best practice then it could help their concerns over anchor point failure. carl

    great if youve got a bucket truck, massive chipper and machine to feed it, if its you and a mate and a 6" chipper then not so brilliant, will i try this?? er no i wish to remain friends with my work mates
  24. carlos
    sounds like we should have called it "static rope technique" from the start!! the "single" bit doesnt seem to have done us any favours
  25. carlos
    cool thanks for the reply, il be watching this thread with interest.
