Good to hear fellas . I thought it was just me . Is nice to respect the trees . I often think when I,m on a big tree if any body famous has had a wee on it I did once find an old knife and fork in a cavity a good 45 / 55ft up an old Oak ?

Alright Liam , Opinel good cheap robust knife . This knife in the pic is from my first aid pouch which is usually on my harness . Its a lock knife and has a locking button to release it from the utility strap . I sharpen it with an old chainsaw file . Aluminium body steel blade 9 euros and its 5 year old .I love my axes and hatchets more For camping with the lads I take my filleting knife .

Liam that was cool . Is this where you get your training inspiration from come on one more push up .

Cheers Rupe looks like I,ll be trying them all Swabish looks alot neater .

As a newbie to this system do you think the distel or swabish would be a good next step . If so which one ?
-
Thanks for that I see what you mean now .Prussic blakes dont need a pulley whereas VT distel rely on one . I do tend to jump the gun a bit . Ive got the cinch sorted and the rope grab .Just trying to work out what would best suit my everyday climbing . Do you think the distel is a good next step or maybe the swabish
-
Thanks Rupe . Just thought I,d ask . Do you have any pics of the distel set up . I remember you saying that I need a different pulley . What type is that then . Was yours a good crimbo .
-
Cheers Liam . Yeah thats the one . All this metal stuff has just got my motivation back . Good crimbo out nice off santa

Does any body climb on this type of system . I ve seen it on the net seems quite useful . Its basicaly a rope grab on a single rope and your normal climbing line would go through the krab on the rope grab . As your advancing on the rope grab srt your basically taking your anchor point up with you . Hope you can visualise this . My worries would be anchor point rope grab ? also single krab on the rope grab this system seems to me to have many weak points ? Its on you tube under drt srt may be someone could blast it over . Suppose you could use it to reach your choosen anchor point .

TONKA TOY . Lovely .

That was brilliant just gotta start saving . I need to go to that park . Bye Bye Big Shot hello crossbow lol .
-
Yeah same hear . I love my tree gaffs ,long uns for take downs on Oak and Ivy covered stuff . Had the problem of removing a poplar and really did struggle getting the gaffs out . I must agree 6" for a pole and defo use short gaffs . I thought it was normal for all tree surgeons / arborists to own two sets of spikes ?

Woodchippers are great giant confetti machines . Chuck in ya old magazines and hey presto .

I have never seen any on an Oak tree . Wonder if Monkeyd has ? .
