  1. We get about 4 sharpens out of a tooth as long as you don't muller them. You sharpen them with a special disk on an angle grinder, Its really quick.

  4. Its the Stock Gaylard Oak fair this Saturday. Any one else going? Stock Gaylard Estate - 1800 acres of deer park and oak woodland

  6. The alpine magnum is a great tool. Its quite physical to use but reasonably quick.
  7. I use Secateurs on most reductions especially on conifers. We use ARS V8 secateurs at work, they are much better than Felcos. The shape of the blade is more curved and they stay really sharp. Also because they are stainless steel you dont have to dry them or oil them. No one imports them into this country at the moment, but I think they would sell really well. Lovely tree Marc
  8. I have been using the cinch since the Arb show. I use it on the left side and am using 10mm Liros in it. Im not that impressed with the liros as a lanyard. I have just 1 D ring on my bridge and it does get a bit jumbled with the hitch climber. It is less jumbled if you you use a large caribener with it. When using it in the single line configuration I tie an alpine butterfly in the line, pass the lanyard over the branch and clip into that. I find this much easier than using a little prussik on it. Im not totally sold on it and might go back to my lanyard with a Vt.
  9. I haven't got my results yet what about you?
