I made a new split tail for the Twinline rope guide. Been meaning to for ages
-
Yeah. Did a Kernmaster splice, Only did it to prove that I could! I hated splicing Fly and a Stein parallel core monstrosity
-
In a story which closely mirrors my own, it looks good though even though it's almost completely useless.
-
Just wanted to see if I could! Will be used to train Wisteria in the biggest overkill possible

@silky fox Did you see Joe? Think he's still doing some days for Simon

I assumed the bracing is holding the tree up and guaranteed that it will fail without it? MEWP would be the more sensible (but desperately more boring) option

LOLER inspection - Hertfordshire/North London
Tommy_B replied to Mike F's topic in Rigging and roping
Fr Jones did do tests. Might be worth a call -
Nice!

People spending more time with family, actually taking the time to phone/videocall grandparents etc. People getting fitter, cycling/exercising at home. Cooking with the family instead of eating take out food. Lots of little things that I'm worried people will disregard because they're not thousands of pounds better off over the lockdown. To quote one of my favourite films "The little things, there's nothing bigger is there"

Which forestry boot for working on steephillsides ?
Tommy_B replied to cessna's topic in General chat
Matterhorn have some special inserts for working on steep ground. Good rugged boots. -
Not entirely sure what relevance a porn star with a massive todger has to this thread to be honest. Have you mistaken the text box for your search engine?

Fosters is just Day lager! Apparently in Russia anything less than 15% was considered a soft drink unless recently! haha

Arb line vs EN1891A vs Abseil Rope vs Marine Line
Tommy_B replied to crotchgrabber's topic in Climbers talk
Hi there. It depends on what the rope is designed for to be honest and what could happen. For example, if you are looking to use a dynamic rope for rigging, the piece is going to get to the point where it should stop, then go a bit further and come back up to see you! There was a great story on here of someone who did just that and watched an oak log punch hole after hole in the shed roof below! If you are climbing on a dynamic rope you are kinda moving away from the intended use. Rock climbing and lead ropes are designed to catch you if you do fall so are bouncy. Arborist lines are designed to hold you without any planned drops. Knotability with regard to mountaineering (afaik) is that you knot it at the start and you want it to stay put till the end. Arborist ropes are more frequently tied and untied -
That sucks mate. I'm on my second pair and they've both been great. Guess you must have just been unlucky. Never tried La Sportiva

I was originally asking for my brother but he has since joined up. I'm sure he'd always be on the look out for bit! @GlaslynGuitars
-
Hi mate. Did you manage to find any?
-
Its gaining traction!
-
"Identify this strimmer please" Yep. Its a strimmer
-
Salewas are Goretex too. Really comfy. I know a lot of lads who had them and rated Salewa highly. Got them and I'm on my second pair. Everyone I've recommended them too seem to rate them as well.
-
I have very similar. Salewa Rapace GTX. They're great.
-
Its SO accurate! I genuinely full on laughed when he said "are you going to do anything?" "I play it to people. It's really funny"
-
Strange position he was in as well. Although none of that is going to be used in a training course ?
