    As above what are people using instead of the discontinued trango cinches? After something that can hold on a single line specifically

    Thanks for the replies. Anyone know someone who can in Cumbria?

    HI, I am looking at ways to possibly increase the power of my 460. After using 500i's elsewhere I can't help it feeling slow now. It is however an excellent saw in terms of reliability and idling. It never stalls when hanging from a harness etc which is lovely. I have read and seen that a simple boost can be gained from adding a duel port exhaust which seems a straightforward forward thing to do. I have 2 questions regarding that. Will the carb need adjusting? Is it likely to effect the running of the saw, as inn perhaps cut out/stall? Thanks

    This video explains how it works

    So I've done some research and come up with this as a reasonably priced alternative to the winch the Stein use BHW Brake Hand Winch - Tiger Lifting WWW.TIGERLIFTING.COM It has a 1200lbs lift, a little less than steins theirs is 1500lbs. but a slightly faster ratio to wind it in at 4.1:1. Steins is 5.1:1. And importantly an automatic brake so the load stay up. I found all the winch info on a Reg coates video detailing the RCW3001 winch. And this is the closest I can find for a low a cost as possible. You can get the tiger winch for a out £70 inc VAT and postage. So I'm going for one of those so then it will be a case of cutting the top bit of the bollard and fabricating a mount for it. I'll keep posting progress

    Hi. I just picked up a rc3001 bollard of eBay. I'm wanting to modify it and make a winch for lifting and pre tensioning such as the one stein now make. (Basically a direct DIY copy of it) Has anyone done this before and if so what winch did you use? I've found the spec of the stein one but I'm not finding it in the UK. So looking for alternatives. Thanks

    Are you just looking for people eligible for working holiday visas? I am now over the age they allow for those so would need to look down the 'proper' visa route. Would this be something you'd consider?

    It seems the quality of these boots has dropped a lot. They just don't last as long now

    He couldn't have fallen to the ground if he has another line on. So a couple of things he could have done to reduce the chance of this happen. Check his gear functions before climbing and use another rope. The car anology doesn't make to much sense. It's very much our problem to check things that involve our safety.

    It is yeah. I have a search alert on ebay and buy nearly new 2nd hand ones generally for £80-90 a set. I wouldn't pay full price for them anymore
  11. ledders666
    I've had multiple pairs, the newer sets seem to perish much quicker than my original ones. Used to be years now they are done in months

    It's a shame it's so easy to blame the trees with such little evidence. As said by previous people, the PI of the soil is required as only certain soil types cause tree related subsidence. If its not shrinkable clay, it won't be the tree causing damage. I'd suggest putting some effort in to find someone who cares enough about trees to carry out so tests and do your best to retain the trees. You currently own the trees and getting rid is an easy option. But there are not so easily replaced and may be appreciated by future owners of the house and people who can see them. (Assuming it's not tree related subsidence)

    I have found these fungi around the base of a beech tree. It's evident there are two different types. Could anyone point me in the direction of what either or both may be? One has a colar so suspicious it may be honey fungus but not convinced. There is a photo of the undersides of both next to each other for comparison. Thanks

    Gravity. Mine just dangles, it's used so frequently I have no need for storing it. Are you after storing the tail end?

    Petzl airline

    I'm not convinced by the sinking part. I belive it's a myth. As the roots don't disappear when they decay. They very slowly decompose into soil effectively and neither expand or contract in size. Sounds like only replacing what needs to be fixed is fair. I guess if your not happy with that you would need a report from either a building contractor or arb consultant to confirm that the whole drive needs relaying to validate your point. And then a lot more back and forth to get some one to agree from the council or councils insurance.

    That cherry is nice. I'd keep that and leave it alone. Never heard of cats eating trees so you'll probably be OK with that.
  18. ledders666
    I'd favour this option also
  19. ledders666
    yeah that makes sence. I got hold of 7 twist lock ones of ebay for £30. was happy with that
  20. ledders666
    why is steel important? wear and tear I guess? I would have thought alluminium for its better heat distribution?
  21. ledders666
    look up a youtube channel called 'how not to highline'. It has loads of break tests of such things.

    That video of the mewp failing is kinda scary.
