Mike your all class,i was thinking that option to be honest,it still works fine a little bent!
-
Cheers guys i understand what you are saying but maybe what im asking is not clear enough.Ive been doing a ton of snedding and knocking heads out of mainly spuces/pines and just take my rope up in my rope bag so the rope isnt getting tangled in a ton of branches,then im either just coming down or swinging out to either top or dismantle other trees i can reach from my anchor point.Is there a way to just tie the Anchor at the top and still be retrievable?
-
Cheers man,nice and simple,is there anyway to retrieve if you dont have the rope coming back down and tied at the base,just anchored at the top?
-
Showa,cotton and rubber,last a while,never had a problem with them catching or not being able to tie/unclip etc.. not a bad price aswell!

Well ive been doing a lot of dismantles the last few weeks,mostly spruce etc..have been snedding up to the top and dropping my rope bag down after to save tangles etc..Now what i didn't realize is my rope wrench was in the bottom of my bag and one of the side plates has a slight bend in it.I only noticed it after climbing some aspens and it seemed to still work good. I cant see any fractures etc..Can i buy a side plate from somewhere? Since it still works ok and its not life support would it be fine working with it? Any help would be great thanks. Also Is there a way to anchor at the top work down and retrieve from the ground rather then going back up and untying? Paul

The trouble with Youtube videos....
nz paul replied to Arbtech Tree Services's topic in General chat
It looked like he had a main,or middle stem that he could of worked/anchored in instead of hugging that limb,but probably cut it first. Yes good on him for having a go but it would be good if someone helped him out and showed him the right safe way or hes Just another fatality/accident waiting to happen. -
Spider web who'd have thought,good idea to remember next time,Dartmoor,i normally wear gloves but have run out,i find if i wear the same ones to much they get bacteria in them and my hands start peeling away and get quite sore,has happened to me a few times when ive worn them in the wet a few days in a row!

Measuring up some timber on a site today,was on my third measure on stick and went to pull the tape clear and sliced my fingers up nicely on the edge of the tape.Was just a little tug and couldn't believe it happened. Instead of the hook on the end it has a type of caliper to grab the end which doesn't like letting go. Anyone else had this? it seems to catch on everything compared to the hook as well. Anyone encountered this? No i didn't have gloves on as my hands have been getting a bit soft and have been trying to harden them up a bit. Thoughts? Experiences?

For me its got nothing to do with sexuality,i don't even like pink on women,so no chance of having a pink hitch climber.

By what was messaged in this thread i would say there is no average,seems to be from on e extreme to the other.Definitely more then the uk but hard to say.

I have to say if you can get that rate then good on you.. The problem with these posts is they give a false expectation to the majority of people trying to get work in Scandinavia a lot straight from college thinking they are going to come over and earn the money you are talking about,when in reality they wouldn't get even close to the mark,its got nothing to do with who i am or what i do,pay rates are set by what people will work for and what they employer's will pay over a long time period until it becomes the standard like the UK Bahahaha Jesus? That is probably the most ridiculous thing i have ever read on this forum i hope your were taking the piss.
