on cambium saver 3 spare crabs pantin hmmm a fair bit

i agree it does look heavy but its not had one on trial for 6 weeks now its only marginaly

heavier than the vertex but sits better on the head comes with extra ear muffs for chipping.only thing i can fault was the pull down eye protection they got scratched really quick and i have not found out if i can change them yet.on hte whole its pretty good the gap at the ear muffs bothered me to but it seems to be fine nothing penetrated as yet.

you can look at it at OpenDNS

thanks for the info but have been tasked with the job and no matter what it has to be an internal course .i did suggest abc but no go we employ around 200 so cost is huge any way doing my faw up date soon so may get more from that .thaks for your in put

help im writing an arb specific first aid course any and all help welcome

.Ive been recommended off here to try Roblon not used it yet but its on my shopping list............................theres always somthing else to buy in this game

roblon is ok nice and soft but wears really quick try wasp its equally as soft really plyable and good grip when used as a vt stays and dresses good and as well fujicura supply it:001_smile:

8mm ocean is better try some wasp from fujicura its 10mm and grips every time comes in 200m reels and quite cheap so you dont mind replacing hitches more often

thaks for the help lads just a quick one for quick thorn i did some digging and the prices start from 4500 for a basic model and for the top of the range complete with winch its 9000

yes its in already but not law only best practise to use y formation chinstrap

has anyone either used or own one any reviews or thoughts and maybe more importantly is there a uk supplier

as above with 1 extra make sure you know the three knott system ie bowline pruussick fig 8 you will be fine

congrates after you do 2.1,2.2 and 2.3 you should think about ua3 its a very informative charge hand unit about tree hazards etc it also covers schematix reading stands in good stead with local rec's

have you tried shortening a distell to the same lenth as a vt then put hitch climber in place.to lift it

kind of and yes that is also phrased as a double rope technique maybe mistackenly so.probably should be drct double rope crotching technique.

drt is double rope technique or aka double crotching

:thumbup:thats the only time i dont use it as well 243 employees all on it as well you may well have a point about the rads gear will get my hands on some and give it a try.

its taken a long fight with some of the lads to get the drt message over at least 99% now are totally converted and feel a bit wierd when doing there homers on srt

hi guys. just want your opinion on these harnesses. i usualy climb in a komet dragonfly which i like exept for the sliding strap. its so thin! and i just cant seem to trust it:( i can see myself catching my silky on it and falling. also it sometimes digs into my hips. im thinking of trying a weaver because it looks so well made. aparently people seem to either love them, some hate them. what do you think of them?

 

 

thanks

pete

try a morphy the bridge is better protected .you can replace any bridge with prussick cord or even a piece of clinbing rope . hope that helps

anybody using this permanently . any thoughts

try a morphy there great after you get the adjustment right

thats how i do it too...this way though the groundy can pull the saw back up the tree for you

it can be used for ariel rescue to if the casualty is in a bad position go down and just like the saw connect to him then assend to a good spot and apply a seond anchor or stropp the groundies will raise the casualty to you

you can use a 5-1 pulley system to tension the line and if the trailing end of your tensioning rope is put through a fig 8 then you can lower the system as required use po65 pulleys and if you want to keep the lne at a constant tension pop in a protraxion pulley to lock it off but keep a small amount of slack or you wont be able to release the lock. happy times ahead

It would not be difficult to ask all staff members if they are happy to allow its use on them should the need arise and produce paper work for them to sign as evidence to this.

 

Although I am not aware of any possible adverse affects.

i agree but the hse dept take alot of convincing

if you want to stop the load hitting use a porta wrap on the return line to controll the speed of the falling timber this will also allow you to stop the load when ever you want to

equally if its light then a fig 8 will do the trick nicely or a munter hitch

Are you referring to the new First field dressing? If the casualty is unconscious or not if YOU don't stop the bleeding he/she may bleed to death!

your right of course what i ment was that the new h bandage is just as good and wiil stop the bleed as effective as celox so to avoid any possible deprimentle issues ie law suits this may be a better choice that was a choice the company i work for made

your right thought that was a given fact .never mind
