It makes sense. I think Jeff Jepson describes this type of set-up in his wee book - but without the pulley.

I agree that you can't put a price on safety - but we're talking about putting a price on a First-Aid kit, not the training, experience or common sense required to effect a rescue. Don't get the two mixed up. I would believe that most of you are capable of delivering first-aid with bits and pieces compared to an idiot with a fancy kit containing items he doesn't know how to use. The cost of what's in this package may or may not justify the price tag - I would put more faith in a first-aider with effective training and a good role of Gaffa tape.

Capel have asked me to apply for apprentice of the year.

No such luck - I was never that good! No - I'm thinking more about the path to the final stage. By the time you're there and it's all over - what have you got to show for your efforts? At that point you might find that the preparation, the extra attention you've paid to everything over the last while has led to you being a better climber regardless of the outcome of one fleeting event. Best of luck though and remember - someone has to win it .... why can't it be you? -

Bank the experience, Dio. It's at least worth as much as the final prize. Good luck. -
If you're going to strap it to your leg be aware of the extra length of the 420.
-
It could maybe do hedges too!

3 wraps and 3 braids. 66kg. (But I think it has a lot to do with the rope and cord you're using.)
-
Just whole numbers, or with decimals?
-
No one has left any margin for thermal expansion! Shame on you all! (call yourselves Great Minds........ bah!)

Mission statements tend to be quite similar - especially ones from similar companies. Unless you've identified your company with slogans or registered trademarks then you're arguing the point that he has used the same English words as you have. I can understand that this gets right up your nose, but you might be fighting a lost cause. Good luck.

I'm Irish, Bob - Irish. But Scottish is good (and near) enough. Stevie, he doesn't know what he's missing, does he?
-
I agree with Mr. Dryad - this man's offering FREE WORK to the right local firm. He seems to understand the value of working up through the ranks. (And he punctuates accurately).

Could be cold in the snow.

I'd put plenty of thought into the boots that you buy - you're 'using' them all the time. Price is a reasonable indicator of quality but not fit. Some people like the fit of particular makes of boots. As with so many of these kinds of answers - try before you buy. Good luck with your shopping.

If you're removing and replacing the BandIts they are expensive (for all that they are). Instead I buy the Elastic bands for docking lambs' tails - a big bag of 100 is only a few pounds.
-
Will you get a chance of trying before buying?
-
Clever......very clever.
-
If he's using the word 'arbour' to mean a framework for climbing plants, then he might be painting an image of a garden - along the lines of: Elmlea Tree surgery, or Oakdene Tree Surgeons. Maybe?
-
People look up to you......
-
Now - when you say "don't you?" are you talking to me or yourself?
-
It would safer to just use the bare bar - and only a little less productive!
-
Not necessarily, Atree. Just soak the offending bite in hand-warm water and leave for a wee while - give it a scrub with an old tooth brush and rinse. Easy-Peasy.
-
Don't know about the butter - how would you get the butter itself out of the braid? Maybe you don't need to. I use pure soap flakes.
-
Maybe they did - but it melted.
-
Yes - it was an honest question. I've never seen them any better than the price you've found.
