    It weren't too bad once you get the hang of it you find ways of making it easier for yourself n friction cord is easy anyway best stuff to learn on:) Although I did get the sore hands again the other day doing some Yale blaze not a nice rope to splice at all!!

    This is how the chippers get put away at work. Unfortunately in the video you can't see the nice steep hill with houses and cars at the bottom of it that would definitely lose against the chipper. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.645863,-0.256816

    I havent tried it with the little red krab yet at first I jus had a loop of the rope with some shrinktubing on it but change it because couldnt get the loop small enough to stop the eye passing through it so Im thinking either a small cambium saver ring or maillion

    Schwabisch self tends quite well and tends to lock off nicely even if its nice and loose I usually use 8mm Armor Prus with it and it works nicely

    Theres no need to rush the assessors are just lookin to see if your safe and confident in knowing what your doing dnt matter how fast you can get around the tree if not doing it safely then there not gonna be happy, speed comes with practice and experience:) and as everyone else has said keep your kit nice and tidy assessors love it and it will make your climbing so much easier
