Whats the best t-shirt for climbing trees?
Tommy_B replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Climbers talk
I've got some of these. They're decent. Slightly thicker than the Nike Pro ones imo and hold up well That hurts -
Road cycling recently. Enjoy splicing and then progressed onto making nets or hammocks etc just to see if I could. My Dad has been going to Archery for a few years and always fancied having a go so might go along with him

Just step in every one you can find then ask to go inside for the loo. Grind it into their carpets for good measure -

Hasn't it fallen over? -
I've got some very small snips that I think are for Bonsai. They're brilliant though. Have also use the secateurs and they're the same.

Cheers mate, Just had a look. Pre order for delivery in end of November. I saw somewhere someone posted about a company who was importing them. Can't find it on Instagram now though

Not yet but its about to be CE marked apparently. My Zigzag plus and Zillion are both within the effected serial numbers, they are replacements from some which have cracked and were sent back. Not sure that I have much faith in having them replaced. How are they working out the refunds?

Refund and Roperunner Pro time🤞

Hiya. Thanks for the promt @Mark Bolam T rex can be spliced with a biro or a bent coat hanger as stated but a Selma fid would work well too. The trick is tapering the ends to a kind of bullet and taping it really well. You can get any sail makers needles from ebay or a local chandlers. Most important thing to go with them is a sail makers palm and a pair of flat pliers for pulling the needle through. Most whipping twine is fine although if you're splicing big fat hollow braids, you could probably get away with using throwline There are some pictures and a thread here

I'd also accept "Ships and Shits corner" if needed
-
"Sewers and Sailors corner"

If my phone was listening to what I'm saying there would be loads of videos which followed the theme of "STOP BANGING" and I can assure you, all of the videos on my phone are pretty much the polar opposite

If you believe this then having a tracking device is probably a necessity as you shouldn't be allowed outside without some kind of assistance.

A refreshing change where a sensible question gets sensible answers. Not used to this! I'd echo what has been said, 261 or a 550. Nothing worse than someone showing up with a 661!
-
Yeah. Love mine. Nothing comes close for me
-
Not ground breaking but I'll be selling this idea for £89.99
-
Also available for considerably less than £120

are the nptc refresher courses compulsory?
Tommy_B replied to lewis 33's topic in Training & education
You can just do the course and it up skills the course underneath it -
Death of an Arbtalk member and former Olympian
Tommy_B replied to benedmonds's topic in General chat
Thats very sad. What was his Username? -
Have you got a figure 8? I use mine to do the same after watching someone do just that on Instagram. Will take a photo later. I'm a Southerner and there is no chance I would spend 100 notes on a stupid bit of plastic to do the same thing.

Just coming to post that😄

Piano wire. Cant remember the gauge. I've been using one of the Treeworker wire fids. The one I've got has lasted me at least 10 years and wasn't new when I got it.

Is that Mark Strong? Awesome set up mate.
