    Jokes???

    simply squat over the yoghurt pot and lower your ballsack in . . . .
  2. i remember that, thought you were joking when you said it first
  3. yeah, try a longer cord. it specifically says not to do that in the instructions, i think it can be pretty dangerous! did yours not come with a cord?
  4. why are you gripping the wrench to descend?! you should be holding your knot like you normally would.
  5. good use of celebratory air punch at the end!
  6. getting to the tips is easier if anything, you just got to plan better, drop through forks so that you are dropping onto the limb instead of walking right out on it. it makes for better work positions too, just needs a different thought process to how you are used to approaching the tree.
  7. thats all good until the rubber snaps . . .
  8. big shots good for those straight up shots where you just cant get a decent spot to lob from. or for those real congested ivy covered nonsense where you need a bit more firepower. learn to throw by hand then keep the big shot in the truck for those awkward ones that happen every now and then.
  9. it just makes sense, our legs are stronger than our arms. working srt felt right straight away and the wrench makes for really minimal kit. i never thought it would be applicable to most jobs in the tree other than access but the consistent friction no matter where you go is beautiful and as said going back to ddrt feels like a chore now. awesome piece of kit, glad i got one!
  10. amazing video! looks so fun to do!!

    nice find dak. they look good for clambering!
  13. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=85171&stc=1&d=1327609511 that took a while to figure out. here's the replaceable pins!
  14. treestuff sell a removable pin that comes with a smaller 'slic' pin too. makes changing from ddrt to srt and back a matter of seconds, really useful like you say if you still want to access srt then work doubled.
  15. really unimpressed with the 201 ben when i've used other peoples. stick with the 200t if your going stihl i reckon
  16. yeah, thats seriously next level, makes climbing with ropes seem like cheating! he doesnt even seem to acknowledge how incredible it is.
  17. that's incredible! thanks for posting. serious skills and a lot of mental strength.
