thanks marc, so is there a way of saving youre hitch on long decents using drt? so whys he got it on there? i would have thought if he were to pull his hitch down to decend, the rope going through the fig 8 would help slow down his decent, and keep the load off his hitch, thus saving the hitch?

been looking at masterblasters tree house site, and theres some cool videos and setups on there. before i thought all the jangelly gear was a bit fancy, but have started to understand it does actuall make life easier at the moment i climb on yale scortch 13mm rope, hitch climber, regular cambium saver and distel lanyard now i like the idea of having a figure 8 to decend on like this guys srt setup http://masterblasterhome.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29986&d=1262394839 is that do-able with standard drt? i can see the benifits of quicker decents but without burning out the hitch cord also i think its time to get a better cambium saver-i know of the art rope guide, is there anything better out there? thanks

we do it for free over a couple of weekends at 2 villages/towns the same size as largs, the local enviromental/green group advertise it-2/3locations around the village between specified times, people bring their trees, and if they want chip, we'll fill up their bags for them

Slippery wooden bridge- suggestions?
josharb87 replied to Kat1e's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
i built and repaired literally hundreds of ATV and foot bridges, by far the best was the mesh niftysteve mentioned, on the ATV bridges we just cut down the middle with a grinder, and stapled them on inline with the wheel tracks, the foot bridges, stapled on to within 6inch of the edge. chicken wire is too loose, not enough volume of grip, frays easily and becomes a mess, weld mesh is harder to apply well, and depending on the build of the bridge, wont follow contours aswell pics of ATV bridge work with the mesh following the bridge contours -
theres nothing stopping you working, or looking for work as a groundie

first off do the course, you should be provided with the kit, then when you do the course, youll understand what you actually NEED, and what bits are used for, whats an expensive gimmick, and whats good value. if you start buying the kit with no knowledge, it can be a VERY expensive and uncomfortable mistake enjoy it p.s have a look, try stuff on, but DONT buy yet!!
