On the basis that there’d be no point having the audio in the case of a dispute if you couldn’t release it to the Beak, I’m going with the tell ‘em approach. 

If the recording was summoned by the courts i'm not sure if GDPR would even apply in such case

Maybe for the same reason you can’t use any rope other than the Petzl rope lanyard on the Zillon....... maybe?

 

Not at all suspicious that

2 things.

That arm looks literally like it will snap the first time some side loading happens.

Secondly, can someone explain why the petzl zigzag would suddenly be ok to use in SRT whereas it was a big no no with a none petzl derived device? 

I'd put my money on the 462 if the 461 is anything to go on

No, flutter between a few different companies, working with people of mixed abilities.  If I had the same groundsman every day I would be more inclined to spend time teaching them

As above.  If you're that worried then unscrew the cap a little to let some air flow.

Of coourse strictly speaking we should all have dedicated fuel storage, but like that happens

I meant that if you were subbing for different firms, going through base rescue systems and explaining how the components work for groundies who may not be familiar would be a good idea.

Not a chance.  When I get to site its all systems go.  I wouldn't be comfortable with a groundies ability to safely use a rescue system based on a quite walk through.  Needs to be a practised element

Ouch indeed.  Having his arm there was a massive error obviously.  Always be prepared to move when you're rigging

I managed to find time today to put it together. See if you can guess who made the case..... Hahaha. I have put 33ft of throwline into it, but its got a hell of a kick when it retracts so I think I could probably run an extra couple of feet into it.

 

The dmm ring was the only thing to hand whilst I was making it, I'll be replacing it with a snap gate crab so it's midline attachable.

Been looking at new options and came across this thread.  I take it this never went to market in any form?

I looked at the Stein outreach but a quick google search put me off 

I still use metal wedges although they are mushroomed quite badly and need replaced.  They can be picked up at ironmongers/tool shops.  Can't remember the last time I saw one in an arb shop though.  Steel all the way.  Only plastic wedge I own is on my harness for big removals

Cracking work RC0, thanks for sharing

They look ridiculous!!!! 

So what is all this Treespect all about Sean?

Anyone here done it themselves?  Theres some cheap kits on ebay and plenty of videos on youtube that make it look pretty straight forward, but is it?

The last thing I want to do is try and save myself cash by getting a £20 screen but then subsequently killing my phone in the process.

Also I assume these ebay screens aren't genuine.  Is the quality ok on them?

cant believe this is even an issue.  The owner isn't the one that wants the tree removed.  I'd say hes being pretty amicable even letting the neighbour have their wishes.  Why should he have to pay for something he didn't necessarily want done?

Slightly annoyed to read this, as I've only just ordered myself one from Honeys this afternoon.

 

Will post my own experience in a week or so, once I've tried it out.

 

As an aside, I'm a 34" waist and wasn't sure which size to order, so went with M-L to accomodate saw trousers, jumpers etc. Anyone reckon I would be better off with a S-M, in which case I'll email Honey Bros and ask them to change it before it gets sent out?

Don't be too put off by the review.  I'd be surprised if you don't like it.  Will follow this thread so please update us

As someone who recently got done over for a small amount of gear i'm quite interested in this thread.  Anyone got any additions?  Particularly interested in hearing about security measures that have failed.

Layering does seem to be the key

horses for courses I guess.  I have this the simarghu and previously owned the treemotion.  I prefer the simarghu, not by much but I still think it offers improvements over the tree motion

I've not had a problem with the velcro on mine. I got mine when they first came out so its had a bit more use than yours I expect
