Hi all Past life climber looking for hedge trimmer and parrot beak on a pole to borrow or small fee for one day garden tidy up. Can anyone local not using the tools for a day help a man out? (just need the tools, not the labour). Would rather go to an arbtalker than HSS. All offers of goodwill welcomed

tried and failed to get something at a decent resolution... I shall persevere.

So far I haven't used it before which is why I'm using top handles as an example in a practice run as it's a more simple concept and one I'm familiar with. Being familiar with the topic it didn't actually take me that long to pull it together, just a pen and some scribbling. There's specific software which I've been allowed a free trial of which helps you format it rather than mucking about in word drawing and formatting shapes which believe me, from past experience takes forever. and yes, you follow correctly, its for much larger scale 'events' currently being used across large scale operations for low likelihood high consequence 'events' If I can I'll upload what I came up with this afternoon on a dry run with the software

WorcsWuss - its application is more suited to situations where multiple activities can be deemed a threat or a cause with a low likelihood, high severity outcome as the top event with one or a combination of several consequences, much more relevant to chemical processing plants, mine operations or other similar... where your talking major disaster with fatalities in the tens or hundreds, not slips trips or falls to a few individuals. I quite agree, linear risk assessment would likely more more practicable in every day use for top handle saws and i'm simply using this in this context for my own practice simply because its something i'm familiar with. I am in no way saying that this is the bright and shiny future of RA in arb - though surely awareness of other RA methods and systems isn't such a bad thing even if we don't implement them. (more than one way to skin a cat).

Anyone ever done one of these? I would imagine it's something that is more likely to have been carried out or occurred within the larger commercial firms who may have a more corporate approach to H&S and RA. Currently trying to put one together and think I've got the bases covered but any input is gratefully received!

For those who are interested here's a link to the televised comp in full: http://whitelines.mpora.com/videos/wltv/red-bull-supernatural-full-tv-show.html For those who aren't, please keep it to yourself and let us enjoy it. Thanks

Tried Glendale bro? Pretty sure they're always looking for guys and they've got a yard in Probus.

Doing the Kettering one in May with a mate of mine who's really into his cross country running but is as thin as a rake, his thinking is he helps me do the running I help him with the strength based obstacles, somehow I don't think it's going to be that easy!! Training started bout a month ago and already I can tell a difference in fitness, still think is gonna be a real struggle though!!

Done.

Sweet, cheers Dak.

Hey Dak, sorry for late reply, that would be ace if you and your buddy are happy to oblige?

I don't know anything about the X-Fighters but that's a pretty big brush to be tarring every sport they're involved in considering there are probably very few if any of the same people involved in organizing, designing and creating the two completely seperate events in two entirely different disciplines. Also, I think with this event like many events in the snow sport scene the scoring will be peer based with fellow competitors scoring the runs especially in an event like this which has many of the godfathers of the sport competing. I think it would be incredibly difficult if not impossible for a fixed result to go un-noticed. Yes Red Bull are a very corporate sponsor, look at the super pipe purpose built for Shaun Whites Olympic training which some have argued 'bought' him Gold in Vancouver; but they also have the means to allow people like Travis Rice to progress the sport and if this event is anything to go by actually create a new discipline and format which brings the men in from the wilds of the backcountry and the boys out from the competition scene and bring them together. I'm confident that we all know, the benefits to individual and industry progression that working with other people with different backgrounds, experiences and areas of expertise brings. Anyway, enough of that, here's Brit Billy Morgan steezing out the first ever TRIPLE RODEO!! http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=wAfSClKOUBI

That's. Just. So. So. Good. Val D'Isere 4 weeks today and counting!!

I had it setup on my lanyard so wasn't even doing massive descents just tucking in slack or letting a little bit of slack in a positioning scenario... I'll get a photo up tomorrow when I'm back in the unit.

Second that!
