He cant wear my new jacket!! What if he gets it wet!!!

I use both but mostly use the hitchclimber. Not entirly sure why,i find its alot more adjustable for the individual IMO. The lockjack is a very good piece of kit though but can be a bit jumpy on wet ropes!! To reduce sitback try using some different hitches. The knut can be really good if you tie it nice and small.I personally climb on a VT though and love it:biggrin:
-
I was considering one of those but thought the stein looked nicer to climb in. Although we have now got a young apprntice workin for us,so i might just send himout in it and i'll supervise from the cab of my van:001_tongue:
-
Ive recently bought a stein jacket myself but not got it wet yet!! I usually just get wet then change my top,always got a spare t-shirt and jumper in van.

Thats ridiculous mate!! Ive never had anything but grief with every insurance company i dealt with!!!

Hope he's ok!! IMO there's nothing more dangerous in this job than reducing big hedges!! Like when your scramblin about in a great big conifer hedge!! I often think "If i had an accident now,how on gods earth would they rescue me?"

There little orange rubber rings that Tommy sent me. Just slide them over the karabiner to hold your friction cord in place so it cant move about.

Haha awesome!! Wonder if that'd work on our transit? Haha

Cheers bud! Yeah still using them mate,they were a brilliant idea mate:001_cool:. Have to keep them hidden though cos everyone keeps tryin to snake them!! haha

Cheers for the help and advice Dee. I am slightly leaning towards the d90 rather than the d5000,mostly because i can get my hands round it alot easier. I know which ever one i get it will be way above my skill level for some time to come and so should get my money's worth!! haha. Regarding lenses would you say the standard kit lense be adequate to start with or should i shop about for a seperate one? I know it depends on what im shooting. Which is mostly landscapes,trees and the odd portrait type shot. I do also like to shoot close ups of fungi's and flowers. Sorry for all the questions,haha
