  1. Almost regretting the Spiderjack after hearing all the good stuff about the wrench? I know i am haha!
  2. See what you mean mate, i like the complete customization you could have with it plus it would be your own no one else like it
  3. Saw this on the Buzz and the tree house, thought i would post it here pretty cool idea in my opinion. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSQ8KahfcBU]Tying the past to the future Tree Versitle Rope Saddle - YouTube[/ame]
  4. As Ben so nicely put my spiderjack started slipping when i was using it on my blaze and then my tachyon, i thought it might be the newness of the tail of my line as I was using it on a large redgum. Havent had a chance to use it since will try it on a smaller tree at some point.
  5. Didnt know you were on here Trev, Cool video nice to see some of the new gear in action
  6. Not yet mate i was more thinking on the descending single line problem on a pole.
  7. Just re-read through the thread and noticed how someone used it with the rope wrench so i decided to look at the F8 revovler system as that started as the prototype to the Wrench, in order to use it on a single line and i have pieced the setup together from things normally on my harness, still needs trying mind.
  8. Cheers Lads, such a simple little idea been thinking of ways to use it single line so will try out some more ideas soon.
  9. Cinch, sorry not the most helpful but if it was between the ART posistioner or the grilion go for the ART

  21. Having a person who knows what they are doing watching you back is a big help! Also the bigger the chipper the easier it is,i really struggled with it with a timberwolf but with the huge vermeer find it easier. Heres a photo from last week, woman said it was some of the best reversing she has ever seen, ohhhh yeah haha
  22. Palm especially a Phoenix palm , Crap to cut, full of possum crap, spike that go through trousers boots and hurt like hell for days afterwards, horrible to climb, lots of clearing up. Give me an ivy covered conifer any day of the week over one of these.

  25. I used to use ladders for access in the uk,but when i moved to Oz i stopped, i found that i became reliant on the ladders and didn't think of other access options, now i never use them for access and only tend to use ladders if the tree; hedge, job, requires it and cannot be climbed to get a desirable professional finish. I would much rather carry my throwline and pantin to the tree than carry the sets of ladders does that count as being lazy
