  1. I just sold the ultimate rigging kit for cheapo on here. Shame you missed out. (Prob overkill for a beginner!)
  2. Add a flying capstan to the list. Dont worry about a sling. Learn knots.
  3. Like
  4. OMG They will be in your bank account next spending all your money! Better call the fraud police hunh??? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
  5. I watched the first minute, but mate, it was painful watching you DdRT up that rope, when if you had a rope wrench you would have been at your TIP in 1/4 of the time.... Prolong your climbing career. Go SRT!
  6. We only work in NY! They must of been fakers.
  7. Give them to your best mate to enjoy, watch him get drunk!
  8. Yep back on high fat way of eating. Cut the alcohol out to for 4 weeks now, just that is making huge waves both mentally and physically! That is one addiction I am happy to break for sure. (Sugar being the other).
  9. I briefly saw some pics on facebook Sean, looks BAD! Hope you heal well and are back in fighting form aSaP!
  10. wouldn't trust anything Petzl as far as I could throw it out of a moving vehicle.
  11. Seems like ill repost this video then, last bit rigged was a chunk. [ame] [/ame]
  12. I don't get that joe. 2 guys on the deck getting swamped when you are rigging down timber? They must be real slow workers! Or you must be doing some huge bits? just move the piece out of the way ready for the next bit, easy. For me, a lot of the jobs are tight and will need roping off. Whenever I can get away with chogging, I will. Certainly quicker. Designate a spot and hit it every time. Fill the hole with stump chips.
  13. Sounds very bad. What happened? How long for recovery? Will it affect career? Do you have to change your diet? Sorry for the questions, get well!
  14. Does it matter? The bots behind Arbtalk are doing their job, so dont fret.
  15. Selby is my protege. Darin I havent seen many of your videos on here........ Come on lets see some of your hot work.
  16. Didnt mate... But we took down the metal railing fence to make it easier.... Once Cosby tied the pull line on without going thru the redirect at the base of the tree and the craning point nearly snapped out! Thats what you get working with my crew sometimes... Tree removed because the customer was having a new bulkhead installed. The river flooded bad in the last hurricane.
  17. Did something similar with this big old pepperidge last year.... Set a craning pulley in the tree and lifted out the branches...
  18. <p>Hi mate, its semi sold... just waiting for things to process. It went for 450, cheers</p>

  19. Going sound Jon mate... Need some work though! The snow is screwing us up! Wanna buy my rigging kit I got on Arbtrader mate?
  20. We just use a heavy duty Nut and Bolt on ours. Much more secure!
  21. You just gotta improvise!
  22. Dont forget about David Coker who has his spike ascender out too, in fact Im not sure who came up with the idea first TBH... It might have been David. https://www.bartlettman.com/NEW-HOOK-N-GRAB-ASCENDER_p_1409.html
  23. Do you have any large trees left there? My BS is worth its weight and I wouldnt do without it for the trees here. Gold! And yes, Stein have launched one too.
