You must be a contortionist!

Very true, James. But, if seeking employment, it's hardly considered a wise career move.
-
Please explain.

Joe Public - how do you think they see the Arb world?

That's heartening to hear, Ted. -
One's for a poly core - the other is for 'exotic' core materials.

That's true (Class 2). That's true too (people that do).

When rock climbers used to use just a belt, this is similar to the way we would use a sling to abseil on. A bit like the old swami belt method.

Good for you.

What length did you make it, Ollie?

Well, this one is still going strong.

A fair point now that the new caps are out. My suggestion was really more of an experiment than obvious advice.
-
Are we talking about a positioning lanyard or a saw lanyard? Yeah, right, got it now.
-
I agree. Try having the cap so loose that it leaks - then, as it leaks, slowly turn the cap. The O-ring only has to touch the rim of the tank.

Most things are.

Once found a concrete filling in a Hornbeam. The whole of the hollow had been filled about 40 yrs before.

Never thought of that one.

I was a Stihl patron but bought a 550xp when I was changing the 260. I like it a lot. Handy in the tree.
-
But what I'm not sure of is just how tight a cap needs to be. I mean, with the O-ring working properly the cap easily seals without the need to spanner it shut. I've never had a cap (in good condition) leak or vibrate loose. Maybe someone can give a view?
-
I would retaliate, but on lifting my walking stick I would fall over!
-
Can these new caps fit the older, screw-in type 550xp's?
-
Ha Ha No, not those wee toy boats. I'm talking about loaded sea kayaks - you know, 'grown up' boats.

And canoes / kayaks.

I reckon it is - in the same way one might be proud of solving cryptic crosswords!

Trouser soup!
