    Step 5. Curse yourself for all the gear you have that is now redundant:001_rolleyes:

    Hitches can't handle the friction of srt on their own, the rope wrench sort of shares the load/friction and creates a micro DdRT system. If you want to continue using the hc, I'd advise getting a wrench to use the two together, otherwise you'd be looking at a unicender

    When I was 11 or 12, my plan for any kind of apocalyptic event was to get in the combine with a shotgun, it would've been grand to harvest zombies/dinosaurs/anything else a young boy thinks may attack

    I think I saw you at the bar on Saturday night at the arb show, certainly caught my eye:thumbup1: Stevie, you must have eyes like superman to see those cables, I had to squint and peer close to find them!

    My old man took one to the face, still has the scar 40+ years on

    And how did they go? I have too, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes they've looked at the wrong tree, ie front garden when it was meant to be back etc:lol:

    I didn't say I do it:lol: Its a very flawed method

    Found my mum. I know a man who quotes trees by looking at them on streetview!

    Yeah, big wellingtonia

    Wouldn't be my personal preferences. Maybe you need a throwline bag?

    It's been posted elsewhere but this is my nearly losing balance lunge:biggrin:

    My attempt, I would've liked to be further up but the stems got further away from each other and I didn't fancy doing the splits up there:blushing:

    A lot of the art I saw was natural. If anyone goes check out the weeping beech, its a fine specimen

    There were concerns over subsidence to next door's bungalow and the co dominance. It wasn't my job so reasoning wasn't my place. Apparently the local tree officers climbed and had a good look at the main union and were happy with the decision to fell (TPO). I think a lot of it was the wrong tree in the wrong place. Shame to lose such a beauty but there are several others nearby and it's a heavily tree covered area

    So much, but my camera was full before lunch...doh! I haven't been to Kew since i was about 7 and that was at night. I made the most of the day and walked the vast majority of the site, though most things I saw fleetingly in an attempt to cram as much into the day as possible. I was really pleased to see the Euc Oculus Block, one I've wanted to see for ages. I was however a little disappointed with some of the Nash stuff, though it may just be I don't have the "eye" for it. The wood quarry had a few pieces that looked a bit half baked, though I'm sure they're works in progress. The block he has for the three spoons has massive potential, I may have to return when that one is done! Coincidentally, while in London I stayed with my aunt who went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park a few weeks ago and saw his 71 steps amongst other things.

    They seem pretty good, though cutting with the full length of a 48" mill takes some patience and stamina!
