took some guts get up that one for ya first time, i would have been having a anchor point in another tree with that one by looks of it. good job though.
-
cheers stevie looking forward to seeing some of your spotlessly perfect reductions soon since your getting into them as much as me.
-
was looking at the hobbs or grcs, but then when reg said he was releaseing this one its alot cheaper than both, still able to tension just not lift up like the hobbs or grcs but u can use two ropes with regs. sooo overall thought his was best option, will be bringing mine to game fair my mate wants to check it out your welcome to have a look aswell.

couple of little birch trees to re-shape they had been just hacked by some odd job man so plenty of re-growth to work with all silky work and trim a few little conifers back at yard at lunch then came back to grind a few stumps he had finished and home by 3
-
im likeing that idea alot that would be perfect. how ever dunno if they would manage to make such a thing, plus if they did im sure it wouldnt be cheap.
-
take delivery of mine on friday, cant wait just need a good tree put it through its paces
-
sounds like top notch cambium saver for less than a tenner so far to me
-
were chargeing them extra for what we did cause it was a good few hours of real horrible work, so we wont loose out really, were doing other job tomorow so there not fussed really.
-
hmmm was a lovly day out, was raining aswell then we had to cancel next job we was going to cause wouldnt have enough time for it. ooo well such is life.
-
tell me about it 4 hawthorn all round reductions and de-ivy today was only ment to do 2 of them, till they said you couldnt just do them 2 aswell make it worse the ones we had just done, couldnt cut them 2 foot further down could you
-
there isnt a little pulley the size of little swing cheek pulley to my knowlage on the market, with instead of a eye to clip the krab into but instead a connecter of some sort. would be handy if there was.
-
problem you would have with that is retrieveing it. with a swing cheek pulley the rope gets caught in that but the dmm revolver that you mentioned its bigger than the big ring.
-
shame you cant get a pulley with a tiny screw gate attached as part of it or something similar would work a treat with something like that.
-
was free cause i had all left overs to make it, but about 2quid for 6mm cord for the prussik then about 4quid for the 10mm rope couple meters worth and i dunno if you can buy the rings.
-
cheers i looked at buying one but there ALOT of money, so desided simple was best. easy to make and does exactly the same. i might even lose the small ring and stick a mallon and a small swing cheek pulley on instead.
-
been having a sort out of my climbing bag tonight. desided to finally get round to cutting my really long cambium saver to get the rings and make my self a simple adjustable one. and got round to making my self a weightless lanyard 9mm line and 6mm cord since im getting quite a few reductions now.
-
husky combi cans for me and 3 other companys i know all use them round here. there well thought out and bullet proof apart from some of the older ones the fuel cap sticks open.
-
only time ive had another climber with me was when we was at college, and it does work really well i thought. i wish i could do it more day to day so much quicker.
-
cheers, yep they do unfortunatly and if we did what was best they wouldnt pay up cause they havent got there moneys worth.
-
yer i thought some people might get confused with that lol but there we are. not the perfect shape but they wanted it done exactly where was done before sooo.
-

-

-
