a HUMMER for me
-
I got roped into doing some Lineman work over the Xmas period.In NZ one of the prerequisites to becoming a HV Utilities Arbie is that you must first qualify as a HV Lineman up to E1 level,which I had previously done. This has lead to a career change and I am now working full time as a Lineman,which is why I havent been active on the forum this year...enough about me,sorry for the hijack, and all the best wishes to all you Arborists.

I love your keeness Gavin, but dont give it away.Im sure youll eventually get your fill. Have you heard the one about the two Bulls. The young Bull said,Lets run down the hill and shag us a cow. The old Bull said,Lets just walk down and shag them all.

A couple of beauties there David. Its great to hear that they will be given their space and a tidy.
-
Nice work Rupe and a great thread.Were all looking forward to the next one.My arms ache looking at the pics,lol.
-
Were you a rigger,or similar?
-
Great pics as usual Dave.Do youse use before & after pics for work history records?And did you update the climber to the Howard Hitch?
-
haha,I dont really know.This is an off the shelf prussic.At a guess Id say it might be a bit of a keeper to keep things(ring & prussic) set.
-
Thanks for posting Mike,I was just curious about why the tree got the death sentence?
-
It is simply to make it adjustable and still retrievable Max.Heres a pic.
-
Id prefer a tenex hollow braid prussic for a Leather cambium saver,especially if your going to use it for choking small stems. Heres a pic of one for a Buckingham leather CS.
-
You could get a conventional(non adjustable) to start and then add on a prussic/ring if required later.They are available seperately or can be made.Hope that is what you meant.

well if its any consolation to anyone its been a lot wetter than the last few summers in Wellington this year.Access into reserves and sportsgrounds has been minimal and weeks worth of brash piles are waiting to be mulched someday.

And how is the new TWM crew working out for you. -
forestry ladders are good too,lol.

Im pretty convinced now that a uni on a choked single line would some work through.Ill keep it in my kit.

You could keep the lockjack and get a spiderjack and timberjack.

We should invite him to post an instructional video, hint hint.
-
yeah it does get a bit jerky in the wet, but its never stopped me using it yet.

Yeah thanks Drew,I have had a couple of rec climbs using the F8/revolver,that I learnt off Kevin Binghams post,but havent progressed to using it in a work situation yet.Still practicing. Im now considering a unicender for the crew.How do you rate it. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyXwrXgN0qw]YouTube - the F8 revolver[/ame]

If you are after a roll you could try to PM Ropey,then maybe you could pay by credit card. If you are after eye to eyes,Tree Climbing Tools and Accessories. Hope that helps.
