    i must admit that would be great for keeping on my harness and using with the other end of my rope or my other rope . maybe the missus will get me one for christmas to go with my petzel duo5 head torch lol , little does she realise it will help me to work at night , thus keeping me out of the house for longer , ha ha happy days

    personally i would stop waisting your time and spend the money on an art friction saver , i have had one for 12 months now and highly recomend them , fair enough they do cost a bit but you get what you pay for IMO i use mune with a lock jack and would not go back to using a friction hitch any more , im now looking to get another friction saver and have been told that art do a deulux version using rope instead of webing , does anyone know if this is the case ???

    thanks the the storms over the last wek i now have plentys of timber to sell for next year and to be honest if anyone wants to buy it this year i will be more than happy to sell it green. as for the origional post i think that there wil always be the oppertunist fool out there willing to work for free , i have just quoted for 1000 meters of clearence for a new section of foot path to go in , i quoted jusk over 10k and who ever the other person is has quoted less than 6k lol , but to be honest if he wants to work on a site with poor access and a poor job brief that could see him there for longer then expected then good luck to him .

    i have tried the VT and did not get on with it , i prefer the Lock Jack by far , the thing i found with the lock jack is that ut takes a few days to get used to if propperly and having a quick play in a tree with one will not give you chance to try it out propperly and see just how it can make your climbing easyer and quicker however i have found it to be totally useless without an ART frictio saver

    loli think with the reduced hours of daylight and the fact that most of uss are working on into the dark i would put my day rate up as its more dangerous to work in the dark lmao

    i have a mazda b2500 , a ford ranger and a navara sport and tbh i would highly reccoment the navara , i use it when im not at work and not driving my scooby and find them to be good on fuel and it pulls like a train , as for the troubles with them i agree that unless they have had the bottom end conversion done then you are buying what could be a ticking time bomb to go wrong BUT to be honest most vehicles have good and bad points and some have problems like these but i would not be put off buying aother one

    after reading tims posts i would like to point out that the lowering device was fitted correctly and find it verry hard to see how the setting of the device can cause the straps to flex !!! we could have set the device in a "cut in" but this is also quite hard to do so because of the tensioners !!!! personally i think that the origional post made by tims stating that the device was not positioned properly is a load of crap, and can not se how anyone could come to that conclusion so easily !! any way the woody really did please us and as stated i highly recomend getting one . plese feel free to see how the lowering device was situated in the picture at the begining of the thread

    the wody did realy well Penfold , i will post some pictures next week , we took some a few but not many , as for the woody lowering device we were shock loading roughly half ton sections of timber onto it and to be honest i was suprised how well it did , the Woody only moved on the last section (but the section of timber was well over half a ton lol) it did not move to much really , it was nore a case of the straps flexing because of the load force so i think next time we will cut a chanel into the tree for the woody and maybe ease off on the shock loading lol . but i still highly reccomend that anyone who cant afford one of the more well known blocks gives a woody a try as we are really impressed with it

    im enjoying the job in the cemetery for sure , we finnished friday off by starting to take down a 70-80 foot monkey puzzel !!! not nice at all . i should have some pictures on here on monday , i wolud have put them on sooner but im currently in the middel of moving house and getting it in the neck right now because im on arb talk and not loading the cooker and washing machine into the truck lol !!!!!! any way i look forward to seeing some of your picks Mozza .

    give brandon hire a call in penzance , tell them i put you on to them and you will be able to get the parts there prety cheap , and if you need a fitter to do the work let me know and i can put you on to the guy that does nick berrymans tw150 , to be honest i would not take it to tavy because even if he is slightly cheaper the fuel you burn will cancel your saving out . any way give me a shout if you get stuck mate
