Yes, silicone is the cheapest way. I've used the stuff for car body panels when I was replacing car body panels!!!! This is LDV engineering now. I got 4tubes of silicone for a pound somewhere, bargain shove it in there, it will do what it needs to do and last longer than the truck! If you want it to look cleaner on the outside you could try the foamex panels, they would carry any sign writign nicely.

I'm ok for them being planted, they have good points and the site is very eco so where areas have been stripped for construction they are keen to replace with natural fast ground cover. I can't say for certain that these are being planted now, they are in the compound for planting, but the site has at least 2-3 years left in construction. (it got slowed down abit this year due to recession) The order was for 50. 34p would seem right, but no. Put it this way if I had gone out and dug up 50 trees pruned to 50cm and put them in pots, I could easily do that in a day and deliver them and I would get way more than double what I charge for turning up with loads of kit and doing tree work all day!

I have been workign on a construction site for a while now. They are doing lots of planting which is great. Then I notice these going in..... I pinched a tag, I've deleted the company that ordered them but the rest is real! Any thought about the wisdom of planting this species? There is already an abundance of the stuff all over the site, in fact I cut down any of it in my way! Also, what would you pay for such an item?

That looks like the exact same vehicle!

2200kgs is about right for a steel tipper. You would have saved some takign the original steel sides off. Mine was 2020kgs with the tipper on and tool box, before I started on the chip box. Interestign to see what it come out as but I would recomend you do the same as me and not weigh it! 1800kgs chipper!!!!!! "sorry I'm late" will be your new catchphrase!.

"Mechanical tip mechanism is operated by the excavators bucket." Does that mean you have to push it over to empty it? Technical!

Something like this

One day I'll get round to weighing it!!

Did you weigh it before you started building the box? Always interestign to see what they weigh before and after a self build project.

It sside impact AND the harness type which is important. Husky lids do not have the straps so are not for climbing, the chin strap is next to useless. I don't know about black diamond but Petzl helmets are for industrial access work as much as they are for rec/sport climbing. Unless they make a sport only version?? Vertex was designed for arborists and workign at height so if there is any doubt then that would be the one to go for. As far as the guy working in the shop though Matt, I would reckon that you are more qualified in your work than he is in industrial access work, that why he works on the checkout! I've had discussions in the past with outdoor shop workers when they ask what something is for. Years ago I used to like static rock rope to use as prussik loops, but if you mention that, you get a lecture about prussik loops must be 2/3rds or less of the size of the climbing rope etc etc, which may be true for single line self rescue but not for Ddrt, but of course they knew nothign about that.

I don't think there is a set way of doing it, ie you can't just say 11mm rope goes with 8mm hitch cord 12/9 and 13/10 etc. althought that is a good start IMO. It depends on the flexibility of the cord, the higher the flexibility the higher the diameter of the cord can be compared to the rope, but it also depends on the knot as well. with a blakes hitch you would use like for like. There are so many variables. Blaze and the smaller diameter OP cord go well with a vt set up though.

Probably won't be on his website yet if he's only got them recently. I know he uses a jetboil and got it from a supplier of his who imports and/or distributes them.

I think Nod was looking in to getting them, Treeworker.

They just clip in to an alpine butterfly on each side of the rope, after the bowline has been undone.

I've got an old msr wisperlite, 20 years old I think but its had a new pump. It is usually in the car or truck. I just recently bought a one litre pan with heat diffuser. I boiled a litre in 3 minutes which matches the jet boil.

I just bought each of us at work one of these and they are good for morning brew to take with you.

I think this was the winner the alladin chalenger

Here's one of my old pic ups taken in '97-98 ish? In the back ground is my housemates audio quattro. Its the original one from the castrol gtx adverts in the eighties. It was a pile of crap (mostly cos it had been ragged on track days all its life) and he never took me up on the challenge of driving to pub off road! (Which could be done, handy on the way home!)

I am a boss and I am fussed enough to make rescue practice the forefront of our safety initiative. Without that, the rest is pointless. If anyone wants to spend £290.00 on a shiny box then good for them. Learn how to rescue each other first though!!

Thats what I mean about the subaru rep. being ruined by the imprezza. I think they make great estate cars for country folk with dogs, but the imprezza is for a whole different person and never the twain etc etc..... I wouldn't own an imprezza, but the standard 2L sport estate version is alright at a push I guess. Sorry but the gold alloys are awful!
