yep! all in all, a very good weekend! steve and the (good-looking) ladies did very well on the arbtalk tombola stand, for the childrens charity, who got the woodburner? the contractors workshops by dmm and treeworker were very informative, it really makes you think about your own and others safety. the 3atc went well, i was in 3rd in the novices for most of the weekend, got pipped at the post tho, ended 6/7/8th ish methinks? got armfuls of freebies! and met loads of new people, both arbtalkers and not. even enjoyed watching the chipper racing!! a big hearty well done to paul (aka AA techie) and the team for a good weekend. p.s - thanks for the x-fit gear!

well lets see, it could be a hand splice made by a rather well built and enthusiastic person, or it could be the old three way loading problem with the krab, ie - a krab with attatchment knot and friction knot is classed as a 3way loaded. youl need a second krab, one for attatchment knot/splice, and one for friction hitch/prussik/split-tail. its also one of the reasons behind the oval krabs. im afraid to say lantra have a lot to answer for.................

its a piece of metal inserted into a wrap-around pad.

the twisted shank points the spike trunkwards, tho you wont realy notice unless you use an upgraded pad like the metal wraparounds, or the velcro ones, as the reguler L-pads dont do alot!

to be honest, there the biggest rip-off around, there 100squids+ and only half as useful as a reguler strop w/ friction hitch, which will set you back 30+ squids. they are very easily open to abuse and improper useage,

or you could try the "puzzledmonkeyarb.co.uk"

2010 Arborist Tree Challenge Climbing Comp
john dawson replied to ArbjobsNick's topic in Climbers talk
well.............booked anyway!!!!!!! -
now then you clever bunch! as per the nptc site, the newly changed cs 33(large) to cs 33(specialist) is now to be changed to an even newer cs 49. does this mean the old cs33 (large) is re-introduced to the scheme, as the blurb now says its incorporated into 32. as any assessor needs to be inducted into this as per the rest of the suit, cs49 may take a while to get going. as im still waiting for a cs33(large) or it was when i started! is it still worth going for?
