Most of the loading and is on the outside of the trunk. The assessment of the trunks strength should be based on the ratio of the Trunk radius to the residual wall thickness. Other morphological characteristics should be taken into account as well. Generally the presence of a heart rot fungi will not stop you from climbing a tree.

Did you have any of the trees confirmed as having bleeding canker? There are loads of things that can cause resinous bleeding. I think you need to send a sample to the central sciences laboratory of DEFRA for confirmation. Most confirmed cases have been in the South West. I think its all being sensationalised a little and there are a lot of misdiagnoses leading to the unnecisary felling of Trees. Im not trying to have a dig just trying to get the conversation going on it.

Pfanner Air Stretch Chainsaw Trousers

Is that cheaper? -
Yep its wrong, I just went and double checked and I think its Ultra-Tech wich has a technora core not a tenex core. The inside does look like tennex though. The hammer amuses me to.

I have a tennex eye to eye sling on my strop. I think its a bit rubbish. Its not very smooth and it clogs up with sawdust when its wet.
-
Yep I like the idea and really want to try it. I tried to coble together one with a pully and a distel insted of a Grigri, Asecnding is cool, but you need to be able to go down to.

I think the wraps do the gripping.

I like the yale Beeline cord, but im using some proclimber stuff at the moment that is tennex on the inside and something else on the outside, I found it in the sac magic at work. Its really nice but the splice slips around on the caribener messing with the knot a little. I think I prefer a couple of scaffold knots to splices. Im on Yale XTC + and Fire ropes. I manage to get it to self tend, but it wont self tend all the time. I think a lot of getting it to self tend is about good management of the rope that's dangling bellow you and also not stopping on the hitch when you ascend. Vts rock

The narrowing of the stem at the base and colour makes it look like Collybia fussipies but that is generally found at the base of the tree. So no confirmation from me just comments.
-
I really like the idea, but how would the reduction in volume of the material compare to a wood chipper?
-
I have tried using a sling to make a chest harness clipping it to the top hole and my D to the bottom hole then footlocking a single line. The chest harness pulls the hitch climber up the rope as you stand. Im not very good at it but I think it can work.
