  1. Cheers mate. Same to you and yours. I can't believe the difference. So much quicker. My mate have me the pencil as well which is quite cool as well
  2. iPad. Needed to update the old one so why not!
  3. Wool power socks and a lie in till 730! Merry Christmas all. I'll have to go downstairs and begin the search for the kids in a sea of wrapping paper. Have a good day everyone!
  4. If one anchor failed though,specifically the one on the right, would the zig zag on the left be loaded correctly?
  5. I believe that Cousin do their own modified splice. I watched one of the guys at the APF splice one of their ropes and it wasn't a traditional splice. It was modified so there was nothing in the eye. Would love to see a video or instructions if you find some.
  6. I don't think it was that
  7. Has anyone else found that the chin strap doesn't sit particularly well for them? I've had the Kask Plasma for years and would have the chin strap fairly loose, I can't seem to get the Protos anywhere near.
  8. Is that all used rope?
  9. What do you mean secondary friction device? On a main line?
  10. Class 1 Double braid for that @naturarbo Like @Mark Bolam said, they dont make it bigger than 10mm so if iits 12mm, it might be used? If it is, I'd probably give it a miss if you're new to splicing
  11. Great question. I'll follow this with interest.

    I was hungry ok, leave me alone.
  13. Do you climb on that?
  14. A wire fid would be best. Tube fid or push fids will be a nightmare in 8mm
  15. I put my broken L200 on Facebook marketplace and got a phonecall within 3 minutes. Bloke was Romanian, turned up the next day with Cash. Claimed to be a car dealer. Tried to tell me that the engine had gone and money should be deducted. I explained that was the reason it was advertised as Spares or repair. I'll keep an eye out on the 10 O clock news for it. Make a nice change for it not to be on Rouge Traders.
  16. Yeah mate. I think it was the lanyard one earlier in the thread that looked a bit short imo
  17. I find that the best place to put whipping twine is about 3 or 4 inches down the rope one you've tucked it back into itself!! ? In seriousness though, as long as you are monitoring the knot and making sure that it has a good tail on it, whatever you choose to do should be fine.
  18. You would need to provide a camper van as well please
  19. Sounds ideal. When can I start?
  20. I wonder why we can't get decent people. Maybe because we can't last 6 pages before decending into the same tired crap as usual. I would want more that 200 to sit in a van with you lot!
  21. Shots fired!
  22. I shaved properly the other day to see what it would look like. Turns out the answer is a bald, tattooed child
  23. I'll bite. What's the problem with Gillette?
  24. Chatting to a guy in the know. He Reckons that the new version of the 201t with the updated Mtronic will out perform the 200 and the 020 after having them all side by side
  25. Did you get hold of him?
