Are you actually serious about shaving the weight of the unemployed cam off your ascender? A short haircut and empty the change out of your pockets!

I've just downloaded it. Thanks for the info.
-
Agreed.
-
Ted, the number of dealers on which side of the Atlantic? Please type slower for me.
-
Yeah - this is true, but punctuation and context are vital for the reader to predict the next bit of the ......... sentence.
-
With respect, things were already understood. I doubt this will help the good dealers - your customer relationship has been compromised by Stihl. As already said by many, I don't need dealership advice - it's like going out for a meal and having to talk to a dietician before you're allowed to order.

Whats the difference between the Vertex and the Alveo?
WeeDee replied to Rock Monkey's topic in General chat
Why just a woman's nipple? -
I climb in a Sequoia SRT, the only other difference I would cite is, because of the additional attachment point, it doesn't have a click buckle on the waist. A word of caution would be that it isn't as supportive as some of the other harnesses; I chose this harness because I'm small and the likes of the Tree motion came too far up my lower back. If you could get a chance to try one before buying, you would be in a better position to make an personally-informed choice. Good luck.

But how 'correct' do contributors have to be? What about correct punctuation? I understand exactly where you're coming from, but I think I would rather have good opinion badly presented than members feeling reluctant to respond.

Whats the difference between the Vertex and the Alveo?
WeeDee replied to Rock Monkey's topic in General chat
As far as I know, the Vertex has a strap cradle that is in contact with your head, the Alveo is lined with polystyrene that is in contact with your head. Although I've never used an Alveo, I've worn an Elios (also with a poly liner) and it's a less ventilated helmet (hotter) than the Vertex I use for work. Hopefully someone with an opinion on the Alveo will be along. -
Then it's perfect!

A beautiful thing, can you access the rampart from the inside?
-
It has a slightly 'furry' coating on the underside. When normal condensation occurs, the water has to gather to form drips, this coating allows the water to spread over the entire surface instead of gathering on the low edges of the sheet. The ventilation is needed to evaporate the water from the large damp surface, this happens slowly but usually fast enough to have 'capacity' for the next dew point event. Whether it works or not depends on how much condensation occurs versus how much evaporation follows.

I thought Petzl didn't sell them as spares to avoid them being used inappropriately. Maybe someone knows better.
-
Yeah, I use them in the yard in winter. They're a good job and I've yet to loose one from the boot sole. You just have to remember to take the boots off before going into houses!

As Good as it Gets

I lift mine out, pump the priming bubble about 10 times, then pull on full choke and immediately take it off choke once it fires up - which is always straight away. I can't think why the aspen should give cause for concern.

I don't think the final shock load will be the same as the initial one. In effect, the energy of the falling piece is being given to each knot's undoing - by the final knot, some of the energy has been already 'shared out'. I am picturing the same effect as in a tightly formed daisy chain - as the load pulls the daisy chain out, there a series of drops and jerks - thus regulating the rate of load dispersal over time (something that a groundy does but in a different way). In practice, I think the difficulty would be in the guessing of the knot's tightness in changing conditions. Of course, this is all perfect in my head - maybe not outside it.
-
In the old days, opening the front vents reduced the amount of dust eddying in through the open back of the Series 2.
-
Very true. Although I would swap the swivel function for a rated becket.
-
No load-bearing becket.
