    tbh if you start using bigger ropes then you will find it quite hard to get a mechanicle aid to back up a fig 8 , when i use mine on marlow rope if i need to back it up i will use a distel (on the running line ) or even a blake hitch would do the job also if you are using bigger ropes then i would ger a fig 8 with the side wings because it has been known for the rope to flip over the fig 8 leaving you with a larks head hitch that you can not do much about lol

    speaking from a background in cliff work i would reccomend a shunt , its simple and compact , it can be used for both double and single line decents but rope size would be an issue , as for how to set it up if you look in the instruction leflet that comes with a shunt it shows you , but when im next near my rock gear i will set it up and take a couple pics (the old groundy wont get them either bob) lol

    i must admit i would not considder taking anyone on that does not hold the relevent certs for the job applied for . and tbh as a self employed person you still have a duty of care to thos arround you which in a round about way would mean that if something were to go wrong whilst you as a self employed person was carrying out (but not trained to do ) and something was to go wron injuring both your self and or fellow workers or the public then the HSE would have every power to throw the book at you .

    not meaning to sound picky but your above comment does clearly state that you SHOULD have CS30 which would indicate to me that it is not a requirement it is mearly a preference !???
  17. combined tree services
    i hold both CS40 and 41 BUT not every day do i carry out work that require these certs , in fact i would go as far to say that most of the time the job can be carried out without the requirement of 40/41. but to my knowlege there is nothing saying that i must not use a rope to lower a small limb if i do not have 40/41 neither am i aware that i can not carry out crown lifting or thinning opperations if i do not have 40/41 . and i have not heard of an insurance company that states you must have these to carru out tree work . how many guys on here actually have CS40/41 ??

    chassis and second gear are great thanks mate , the proof of the pudding is in the eating , whilst out on a call out in the middle of the night for western power i ended up having to tow an 08 plate landrover defender out of a boggy field because his half shaft had snapped lmao . if im hones i never thought thet the ranger could do it but it did
