ive got a whole book of these b/w photos, the size of the trees is incredible, and to think all the cutting was done with axe and hand saw!!! tough fellas.
-
what do you get in the event of an accident?? loss of earnings?, medical bills paid?? really should sort this myself. thanks carl.
-
does the employer not have to be found neglegant in order for an employee or subcontractor to claim in the event of an accident?? alway thought this was so.

is that to keep the category or to work commercialy with the catogory?? dont fancy doing a course every few years just to keep my catagories!
-
does everyone not just whistle over the fat groundy to test the base anchor?? we always test our base anchors with two bouncing, had to rethink a couple too!
-
sorry cant make sense of it?? surley its the same just a bit more stretch on the base tie. i sometimes tie off to the base of an adjacent tree to keep the rope outa me way. carl

thanks for the comments guys. mk2 would have the legs coming straight down then splaying out lower down away from the saw and maybe some wooden buffers on posts next to where the saw goes. plus make it out of bought metal rather than odds n sods, but wanted to see if the princeple idea worked first. thanks carl

i made this a while ago to help ringing up cord wood as i was getting fed up with being bent over chasing logs about!! the idea was to hold a decent amount and not to have to move the log about. the bundle left is the right size for a burner. i will probably make a mk2 at some point with some improvements and a better stand, still happy enough with it and the ratchet holds it pretty steady. cheers carl

does anyone have one of these torches?? nightsearcher trio 230. not sure if the link will work. thinking of buying one. thanks carl
-
thanks for answering my questions dadio, i may well give the cut a go a some stage although probably not on a log that size to start with!! keep up the vids, and the after debate is as always amusing. would you consider a warning at the start of your vid? such as "for trained competent saw users only" just a thought . cheers carl

dadio what sort of force was on the lowering pulley ?? was that not increased by letting the butt drop sudenley? or was most of the impact just on the ground? could you have done a gob on the topside and let it fall slower? thanks for sharing carl.

Beginners climbing guide, hints, tips and general climbing techniques
carlos replied to Adam Bourne's topic in Climbers talk
good thread adam, i think the main thing with any of these different techniques is to just give them a go ( safely of course!) if it works for you and improves your climbing by making it easier or faster then thats great if not just use your old method. carl -
id say it took alot of time , effort and money on kevins part to get the rope wrench where it is now and i hope he gets a fair share of the retail price and has bought a carribean holiday home with the proceeds!! very pleased with my rope wrench btw. my friend made his own copy from mine seems ok. carl.

how much are these loler inspector courses?? preasumeably it would benefit any climber when checking their own gear, to have a greater understanding of its saftey. how long are the courses.
-
intresting thread, just a few questions to add. who runs loler inspector courses? if there were no legal obligations to loler ones own climbing kit would people still get it done or would they rely on their own visual inspection and knowledge of what they have done to the kit. just curios to hear peoples thoughts on this, i climb on my own gear and its fairly new but i dont want to be complacent with it. hope this made some sense! thanks carl
