  1. Try this Ninja Pottipukti Planting Tool - Cheviot Trees
  2. Quality pictures. Any pictures of the crown?
  3. I did try it, but the vicar wasn't impressed and asked me to leave the church.
  4. I find,like you, practicing for two hours every sunday morning before church is the best way forward. As if the practice session goes badly at least I can pray for divine intervention.
  5. Good eating.
  6. In taller trees I rig accordingly i.e. join two ropes or tie the two ends to form a continuous loop whichever method suits the particular situation.
  7. In reply to Jomocos post: I'm not going to go through every scenario of when I would and wouldn't use a basal tie off. As it is not what this thread is about. Its about adopting an alternative climbing system that advocates of the method believe puts less stress on your body. Yes there are limitations and dangers associated with all access methods whether it be srt,ddrt, flipline, ladder, mewp, wraptor, crane, helicopter, jetpack, trebuchet etc. It is up to the educated climber to assess which method best fits his needs. Its called risk assessment.
  8. I wouldn't use base tied srt for that scenario. I would use a wire core flipline and spikes. Anyway we don't have any dead Aleppo pines over here.
  9. Whoop whoop dats da sound of de police!
  10. Ho Ho I enjoyed that....... my sentiments exactly. In fact he even looks like me. I'll be the one in the sombrero at the APF
  11. Eh....? Are you reading the same thread as me? I don't recall anyone saying or even implying that.
  12. Two men walking abreast!
  13. A big excavator.
  14. Not sure I would want that hanging off my harness!
  15. Perhaps wide enough for this:
  16. Can't make out whether you are agreeing or disagreeing. Seems like a bit of both. Note: The first part of my previous post was tongue in cheek but I couldn't find the emoticon for that sorry.
  17. Hmm I haven't received anything yet.
  18. Looks like an open and shut case of layering to me. Who is the guy with the deformed hand?
  19. Ahh...thanks for explaining that guys. I had mistakenly thought that the hypothesis was that the presence of crossing and rubbing limbs was necessary for the formation of codominant forks and not just that their presence results in a weaker fork. Hmm nothing there that will change any actions/recommendations I currently take/make.
  20. Good stuff Dave. Did you ever make that video on Aerial Rescue techniques?
  21. Glad you are ok. You will probably think twice next time.
