  1. Jobs like that are where a Mewp really helps.Ivy climbs are a pain.
  2. Great Thread Mike! Super picture.[emoji609][emoji269] You look very proud[emoji106] All the best for the future.
  3. Sycamore in the middle...then Connie

  5. Sure have.The Life Lottery Shires....The happiness Jackpot. Won it on the Positivity Scratchcard.???
  6. I've been called many things in my life Gary.....??.....Yep sure is?and the Northern Fox
  7. And never give up on your dreams or your full potential.
  8. Thanks again to Phil and Gustharts for putting up with my Frenzied three day shopping spree.They are very used to me there though...When I quit the booze I told myself I would put money aside I saved and put it into enhancing my life and love of Arboriculture starting with 2020 and I am well on course.Enjoy the rest of the weekend Arbtalkers! And climb safe??
  9. Bits and bobs. Like a lot of Arbs I have a climbing gear Fetish?
  10. Chicane and foot/knee and chest set up...Runs so well with the ZigZag and Drenaline.
  11. Two new Bridges and rings.One regular and one adjustable with the Hydra.
  12. Always wanted a positioner..My bridge attachment and ZigZag2 and 3 have swivels but I didn't, go with the swivel for this lanyard Felt right just as is.
  13. Great advice as always from Phil along with hours of watching Climber Gorgio,Climbing Arborist etc. Learning Base and Canopy anchoring as well as choosing the right system.I,very been a fan of the ZigZag since day one and still have one of the first into circulation kindly donated to me from the Arbtalk Competition years ago now.The Chicane set up was whati chose.So now I am able work from two separate anchors (if required) Cambium or pulley saver.SRT ,(once I have mastered it) and I even have a bag with just a rope and prussick loop.I did my last year at Premier exclusively on a prussick.I,very always enjoyed it.Something about the feel and it was how I began.
  14. That,s why I have to wait Mr Breffeni...They reckon March.But I still left Gustharts with a full SRT system.And I will be running it on Tefeulberger Drenaline
  15. The quality is outstanding!??? Hey Ian,you'll like this.I,very just been shopping.3rd visit to Gustharts this year but this time I have everything an Arborist could want and more.I am more than ready for this year and beyond.More about that later.....Look?the only thing I couldn,t purchase....yet?
  16. And my IPAF card arrived.I hope to gain a few more tickets this year.At last a picture that actually looks like me?
  17. A day to celebrate! I finally got into my Stihl base layer.I bought one size smaller a while back to motivate me to lose the final paunch.I will continue to train but now I am only going to maintain.These are so warm and yet breathable.They are tiny when you take them out of the little container they come in.I could hardly believe it was a Large.But in order for them to offer the warmth yet the ability to wick away sweat they need to be like a second skin.
  18. You could try the Rock O...it opens in a way that you may like and has a wide opening.
  19. Only the synth oil isn't black.I can live with that.? Look after your kit and it will look after you.
