Spider jack is a good bit of kit just gota put in the time it needs for you to get use to it. I'm getting quite use to it now and there's the odd day I'm quicker on the sj than the zz. But I don't think the zz can be beat for long limb walks it's just easier, limb walking the zz is king that's my opinion and there's nothing anyone could say that would change it
-
I've got zig zag and a spider jack as backup think both are great made things so much easier. Use mine everyday great for limb walks had it for months I'm never going back to prussic, it's made my job enjoyable and easier on the body

Sorry guys I missed your messages. I'm currently in Switzerland again been helping out girlfriend who works in Basel last couple of weeks. If you both fancy a beer there's some music gig going on at claraplatz tonight.

I need a new climbing system, help me...
Matt McAulay replied to Vertigo Arb Ltd's topic in Climbers talk
Spider jack or zig zag try them both went mechanical completely this year after 10+ years split tail then prussic I'm never going back to using little bits of rope tying knots. Agree with the pulley saver big time got a rope guide has made climbing fun again. -

-
Bought it 2008 110 with a custom tipper body ex Anglian water 113000 on the clock (misread the add) very clean drove smooth everything worked I pick it up next week il put some pictures up

Matt McAulay replied to littlerob's topic in Chainsaws
Got cs80 things a beast! had it few years great saw but Christ is it heavy know when I've used that all day. -
Does anyone know of any companies employing, or maybe any European arb forums like arb talk to find work there? Please help.
-
Are there any good ones for Europe? Haven't found any as yet.

No hooks used at all just tied to the bait, bastad first 1 I shot nearly had away with my sleeping bag
-
Shotguns perfectly legal to own, should think about a silenced 410. 3 1/2 inch magnum using bb shot, start baiting only way ya do it once it's taking attach some heavy duty line to the bait then attach it to something strong in the house, DO NOT ATTACH IT TO YOURSELF the bastads are surprisingly strong you may laugh but it works got 3 foxes doing it.
-
Got the art rope guide great bit of kit, haven't tried it myself but there is a way of getting to ya anchor without having to climb all the way. Retrieving it is dam easy first using it and the zig zag it was great zero friction, though I had been on hitch cord for the 10 years
