i have seen that one before but always a great watch, it looks so romantic on film but imagine the realities of working with that equipement with trees of that size. i bet you had to take good care of your fingers in thoses days

someone mentioned on here that a dry load of logs in a dumpy bag filled loose was about 250kgs.

it looked a pig, usual with pollards. i used my ropeguide for 2 days last week on sycamore pollards, it was great especially with the hitch guide.

could it be from an old branch that has decayed over winter dave? -
unfortunately yes mate:sad:

there is no ganging up on here mesterh,it is just wesome of us have our views and he has his, blakes is holding his own in a debate, and i respect that a lot, he knows his maths and is sticking by his guns. whether i agree with him or not is another. this has been the best thread in ages, i had to go and walk the dogs there, so lets get back into it.

his points are valid if mike was working the kit within 90%of its capabilities imo, but he isnt. and i think qtip sports the looks in your duo:001_tongue:
-
so how long have you been climbing blake?
-
thats what i said:sneaky2:
-
marc is taking the photo, qtip is up the tree dean:001_tongue:
-
is there 1 n in anal or 2??
-
how long have you been cutting and climbing blakes:001_smile:
-
bumble bees shouldnt be able to fly!

you are the one arse shuffling backwards out a limb on your avatar blake, doesnt install to much confidence in your arguement now does it. i have done this job for 12 years profesionally now and have never had a rope break, tree snap or any serious accident, appart from those nasty little silky cuts, huck has been doing it even longer. we are still in 1 piece, huck dismantles every day with a remote hiab while climbing, if anyone knows about forces and working with trees it is him, mikes cv is just as impressive and dean isnt a stranger to a climbing line either mate
-
i know, but the 2 are working as a team, mike obviously knows his guys skill level, i know if i am working with my mate i could shock drop a mini with an old climbing line and i would be fine but other new lads i would rather cut n chuck with because it isnt worth the hassle rigging with amateurs. and if i get one of reg's gadgets then there will be a few trees getting halved i can tell you:001_cool:
-
that was one of the smoothest rigging i have seen, mike and his man certainly know what they are doing.
