    I've been fortunate enough to be involved in the upbringing of my partner's nephew from a similar sort of age and really enjoy time spent with him. He has said in the past that he wants to be a tree cutter like his uncle but I know he is destined for something a bit more glamorous.

    Cracking pic, Silky.

    No worries. Hope they can sort you out. Red Stag are great as well.

    Mark 1 Hire in Chelmsford, but I think they do the training over at Rochford, just outside Southend on Sea.

    I've never had any negative comments but then I have kept it discreet.

    Have you got more cord out one side than the other?
  9. felixthelogchopper
    That's unacceptable, tattoos or not.

    When they were saying on the Breakfast news about camper vans etc being towed out I guessed you would be busy.

    Better enforce a strict 'no slip-ons' policy in the workplace then.

    This firm do a lot of cutting for Wrights, I think. You could try them. C.j.ashby Forestry Limited in Maldon, CM9 8PY

    Started out with one. I now have a 1600kg Ace and 3200kg winch as well. They're just a bit much to lug a long way into the woods. We're not all digger jockeys, Stevie.

    Thanks. I'll get some and give them a try.

    That could be a goer. What are they like to adjust?
  20. felixthelogchopper
    Is that not a pain to adjust? I like the idea of being able to easily put some slack into the system to make it more convenient for the climber to attach the slings to the line. My thinking was that with a prussik it would be quicker to adjust than it being tied off somewhere.

    I'm strictly a ground dweller so I don't have any used loops. I figured that I should just buy a couple of new, CE marked ones seeing as they weren't overly dear. It would be down to what was in my truck that day, Sometimes the bag with the 14mm is in there, sometimes it's the 18mm as I have the big Tirfor with me.

    Cheers, Joe. I'm ok with the 'how?', just needed advice on the 'with what?' aspect. I was looking at something like this. TEUFELBERGER SIRIUS PRUSSIK LOOP - 10MM X 60CM & 70cm | eBay
  23. felixthelogchopper
    I'm after a bit of advice regarding Prussik loops to use on 14mm and 18mm rigging ropes. I want to use them for tensioning zip lines and also for attaching pulleys in a mechanical advantage system. It's not for anything huge, just a way to avoid lugging a Tirfor into the woods. Am I right in assuming that 10mm cord would be up to the job and would I be best with longer or shorter loops(70 or 50cm)? Thanks for any helpful advice,
  24. felixthelogchopper
    OK, mate. Please let me know if my luck changes.

    If it's the angle-adjustable one, yes please.
