  1. From what i gather from reading on here, it takes abit of getting used to and setting up, but, once you have set it up how you like it you wont look back, just a matter or persistance i think. I keep meaning to try it myself, but i cant really go to work and try to climb on a V.T, tinker with it abit to set it up right, then still not get on with it, and have to tinker some more, when im there to do a job. Stick with the prussic for now but when i get the chance to have a rec climb il give it a go

  11. I assume, if you were badly injured and needing rescue, you could patch yourself up whilst the rescuer gets to you. But if your in need of rescue then your probably pretty screwed, and not going to be in a posistion to apply "first aid" to yourself.

  21. The small TW i used was disc, but the other 2 are deffiently drum.
  22. A plane is one of the trees i havnt climbed yet, but i know what you mean about there not being branches to throw to, experienced it in plenty of other trees. Installing your line from the ground with a throwline is probably the best option, although not done this much myself. Ive used small slings as false foot holds to shimmy me up the tree abit more to get to a branch. Just take a minute to think, sometimes theres a branch you've "missed" which will be easier to get to. Sounds daft but ive done it myself. ... or just practice your throwing Failing that just bear hug yourself up the tree to the next branch
  23. Having used the timberwolf and the greenmech, id choose the greenmech anyday! Much better than the timberwolf IMO. By buying a well known brand, yes it costs more but you have dealer back up, parts will be alot easier to come by and they WILL be better enginered.
