  1. Could,nt agree more,its all about trusting youre gear and confidence.I had to climb a Redwood when I was first starting out,pushed myself to the top or I would never have been able to call myself a climber.
  2. Sorry,its difficult to see sarcasm in text,my apologies.
  3. You,ve got it! Just another Government scam.
  4. Do as many jobs as you can with a bow saw and save.
  5. Ninety percent of s/hand is crap.Hope it did,nt cost you much.
  6. Its not all about money grabbing:thumbdown:
  7. Gloves for climbing?Whats the world coming too!Be a man and take the pain.
  8. Seems a bit unfair to me,and is it legal? I would never ask the lowest price.
  9. I would have a go at stripping it right down to the bare bones,I,ve submerged outboards and got them going again. Rockapes can do almost anything!
  10. Realy,then why did I bother with my tickets in 2003 when I,ve been climbing and groundworking since 1981?
  11. Now n then.
  12. It,s an art,Ive been at it for thirteen years.I,m still getting it wrong.
  13. I would,nt bother with second hand ever!By the time you,ve paid for it and repaired it you,ll realise you,ve chucked good money after bad.Trust me I,ve tried it.
  14. Slight mistake,you can buy an ms200t with 14in bar for £339+vat free delivery from George Carr.
  15. Forgot to say its with an eighteen inch bar.Might be a bit cheaper with fifteen inch bar.
  16. Just bought a husky 345,good saw so far.You can get one from George Carr and Sons for £310inc V.A.T and delivery.
  17. honourable my b******e,an honourable politician? No such thing.
  18. You get what you pay for.Personally I would much rather have the faster saw while climbing.For £325.00 inc V.A.T and delivery why bother with anything but the best.
  19. Know what you mean,there was nothing wrong with the old ones.I developed a refueling system,took it to Stihl U.K to show Hans Fairley,after signing confidentiality aggreement.He was so interested he kept the prototype and sent a report to Germany.Unfortunately nothing came of it,so I was told.Anbody out there with a good idea keep it under wraps and apply for a patent.
  20. You should go s/employed,at forty six I can earn a fair bit more than that.
  21. Never found one big enough.
  22. Go back to being a number and give us all a break!!!
  23. The best person I worked with and still do is my wife,what a grafter.Like alot of women she has "TRUE GRIT"
