  1. Tub of hot soapy water, old toothbrush and a good scrub then a bit of graphite powder once dry. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  2. Twas very disorientating when you got to the top after having it all planed out from the bottom, after climbing on bluetongue and a pullysaver to go to a thicker rope and over a tight bend high friction anchor was very noticeable. Platform was sooooo slow compared to the 1ns I'm used too. Enjoyed the climb emensly but drowned the plumb line because I was rushing. Big thanks to everyone who organised it, silky for lending me his gopro and putting it up on YouTube and a lad who I never met before for lending me 4 carabiner after the gates on mine failed the safety check for mot closing fully:$ Cleaned then today and all good again sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  3. Just a soft sling girth hitched onto a crab to stop cross loading on your bridge and just long anough so you can reach the zz if you need to decend, good tip is to make sure you have a branch or fork to stand on when you reach your ankle point as you'll have to strop in to undo the sling and put the zz back in close. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  4. Is it an industrial unit/yard and so business rates to pay on top or included in rent? Can you make money from the space ie logs /mulch etc and so justify the cost more. All these are questions and more that I'm asking myself at the moment as about to take on a yard to run from. Still interested to hear what others pay and if it's worth it. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  5. Bet that comes with a hefty day rate! How far off full stick were you in the picture ed? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  6. Graham, top lad, so modest with a sound head on his shoulder's and a lovely lass in tow to keep him under control. Definitely 1 to watch! Not yet an arbtalker but his good Lass says she will set him up so hopefully see something from him soon. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  7. Full roof that lifts up by about 30 degrees to increase the hight of the box at the back to the hight of the spout. Then drop back down for driving, also if you have barn doors it makes the back of the trucks a bit more secure if you have gear in there and need to nip into petrol station etc. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  8. Going to get 1 of them suit case silent Gennys for him to plug into and carry around on his back, fueled on aspen, naturally! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  9. Jon you left without the promised cuddle, best show iv been to in year's, nowt to do with what or where but all too do with who! Met some excellent people some like jon exactly as you expect, top bloke some like egg who aren't the obnoxious old git you imagine, far worse :-P Only joking ;-) Silky was like a big kid bouncing around with pictures being taken all the time but suffering from battery charging issues. Met so many people and glad I did, this industry is just full of carrickter 's which is what makes it grate but now after a 4.5 hr drive a quick beer shower and sleep! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  10. Nice truck ham sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  11. Nice too meet you dan, glad the fezzer made it with the timber slowing it down, keep them pictures coming and hope to catch up again soon sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  12. Depends how heavy your chip box and tipping gear adds up too, as each 1 is realistic a individual modified vehicle each will differ from the next so unless you put it on the scales it's an appointment guess. I work on the theory that full is about ok but 2.5 ton of chip approx and mine holds 7m ish so unless very wet it's ok. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  13. Had my.truck done nice and simple, who we are What we do and how to contact us Also got rear doors done so when cars are stuck behind me fully loaded.they know who is holding them up :-P Pound for pound it's the best advertising iv ever done and seemingly brings in a lot of enquiries sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  14. If your wanting something dry and seasond you might struggle as that's quite a lump for someone to store, I have a large lump of redwood that might do the tops but it's still in the round, Pm me a number and I'll give you a call about it. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  15. Na mine is like that, sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  16. That looks different to what I had, have they changed over the last 8 or so years? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  17. 520 inc vat but then if you want to chip into it you still have around 100 to spend Farting around filling in the gaps. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  18. A man walks into a bar and says....... sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  19. Heal quick bud, do what the docks tell you and keep it clean. Let us know what happened in your own time sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  20. Hi Eddie, I drop by your stand on Friday and have a chat. John. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  21. Looking good ham but a bit hard to read the bits at the top over the willow, almost missed the contact tab. Hope it brings in t work Hope to get mine up in the next few weeks if I can ever find the time to sit down and send the lad the pictures and info. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  22. Scrotes will have the fillings out your teeth if you sleep with your mouth open! Nowt is safe sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  23. A new genuine 1 is close too 500 I think so best to fabricate something yourself. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  24. Spend a bit of time just watching a few, plan where your going and don't miss a target point as I did the 1st time I had a go and end up going back up to it. Just use the gear your comfortable with and most importantly enjoy it, it's ment to be fun after all sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  25. Sorry but if it is the same as the green tops on the husky cans iv never had a good experience with them compared to years of faultless service from the sthil tops. I use the oil non spill on the fuel side as it's smaller and fits the 540xp. Crap may be a bit harsh but inferior is probably more accurate. Having spotter that husky have produced a new can with redesigned spouts and discontinued the green type will they be producing a new fill partner of the same design? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
