  1. Just seen that post there, seems like tapes the way to go then. cheers
  2. Ok cool. i was going to rivet it as a last option tho was just going to do something similar to stop the slack getting thru like get some strong tape wrapped round it or something, nothing in the way of modifying the harness so dont worry. Yeah me to you would think it would make the harness maybe safer but in the eyes of loler it could be a diffrent thing.
  3. That sounds like a pretty good cure. I will try something along them lines. Either rivet it or find something which i can keep the slack and the belt forced together with then adjust if needed. Was guna half heartedly buy a diffrent harness but it lives to see another tree! Cheers for posting that up
  4. Thats a good idea, will have to give that ago. ditto. ive never had one come undone, either you are not clicking it in properly in the first place or else its faulty. Its definitly clicking in properly i always check that, the clip has never come undone or failed its just the strap itself that keeps letting slack through and it becomes loose. Hope that makes sense.
  5. lol!!!
  6. Hi all, I have a dragonfly harness which so far im pleased with, just one thing though and that is the main strap which goes round your stomach keeps coming undone and making it uncomfortable. Just wondered if anyone else has the same problem or knows a cunning little trick to stop it. cheers
  7. 361`s are great saws. With an 18 inch bar on it and razor sharp it can deal with nearly anything apart from huuuuuge pieces of wood. Definitly my saw of choice!
  8. Do you normally build platforms like that over greenhouses your working over?
  9. I use one end of my rope with prussik and my sidestrop with isc rope grab for smaller trees. For bigger stuff use the same but always have a prussik loop and karabiner attached to the back of my harness so if and when i need the other end of the rope i just pull it up to me, quickly tie the system and then away you go.
  10. the horse was just no match for the 80 foot hurdles!
  11. thought at first u meant a get together in the men of kent pub. I live about 3 minutes away from there! Id defo be interested in this tho, sounds good.
  12. I think he needs to give his old chainsaw a sharpen. lol
  13. I think the tree looks really good. but what exactly is it that you have done diffrent?
  14. The horse grew an uncontrollable hate for his owner which insisted in hiding his hay in the most stupid of places.
  15. lol! good one!
  16. When challenged the stalion proved to everyone that " of horse he can run through that tree!"
  17. Back wheels just slightly buried in that picture lol. Good to see that you done the job properly
  18. That looks like a good job done there mate. I dont think that a conifer take down is a bad job really.
  19. a 110 ft black poplar for me. Was having a big reduction. What a climb!
  20. Im sorry but due to the credit crunch i can only afford his head and legs right now. Can we work out some kind of deal? . .
  21. Yeah thatll teach him for trying to run him over slowly and painfully. lol
  22. I dont think the one that fell over will bother with that again.
  23. How much damage was done to your car?
  24. Im guna use mine as a topping down strop me thinks.
