    Be good to meet all you guys. At least two of us with srt gear that I know of, maybe more closet users. Frosty, shame you can't make it, if this goes well maybe there will be some more in future

    No pictures im afraid, but there is an old oak stump on the side of the a47, just east of kings lynn. It's not the biggest, nor most striking standing deadwood I've seen but....it appears someone has marked it for a fell. I'm sure it's out of range of the road and is causing no harm, if even any good, what with a major industrial estate being nearby but it's a nice piece all the same. It'll be a shame not to see it on my fortnightly runs any longer:thumbdown:

    If you're interested in biodiversity read this Do We Need Pandas?: The Uncomfortable Truth About Biodiversity:Amazon:Books It gets pretty bleak I must say though. Most of what we've caused seems to be irreversible, the key point is what are we going to do with what we have left?

    If you clip a krab into the the big hole on a pantin, it's stops the gate opening. I think it's on one of cary gibson's vids

    As ian said on the "best thread ever" he's going to try to get some limb walk footage at the rec climb next week. Ian, I have a prime spot for it, big long limb, nice drop through redirect from above then out and up. I'll film you to get another perspective than the helmet cam:thumbup:

    The lockjack is hands down the best bit of kit I've bought (yet) One handed tending, as well as self tending. And being able to give yourself slack by pulling it out of the top of the lj is amazing. It doesn't have any sit back like a hitch does either

    Butterfly, but it's well known that I've been lusting after a sequoia for a few years

    As above. Several members with the same reason to be scarce on here...I'm intrigued!!!

    Me too:001_rolleyes: Did you build the roundwood cabin yourself? I'm planning to make a similar thing when my trees get big enough!
  12. Dan Curtis
    Done. Would be up for product testing if you need any help

    You talking firewood or other kinds of timber products? We occasionally have timber to get rid of your way, I'll see what we can do

    Barrel knot, there is just something about the way it looks for me. Is that weird?!
  15. Dan Curtis
    Little chunks with a big saw.Hadn't it got to be lowered because of camellias underneath it?
  16. Dan Curtis
    Are your depth gauges a touch low? It'll bite harder and kick a bit more if they are
  17. Dan Curtis
    I think you'll have to make a trip to burtons!

    Are the climbers leg loops undone at 34s?

    The company I work for is supportive of changing things and keeping up to date. The problem I have is insurance and working to industry best practice. It seems the paperwork people who govern best practice are way behind on new technology ie.the rope wench and uni etc. I am in contact with a few people trying to change this at the moment. The vids may come in handy to back up the argument. As taupotreeman says, you're still only on one line in ddrt, that was one of my first cases for srt

    I'm working on getting permission to use it but it's a slow uphill battle. I can play on it out of work and with the obvious benefits, find it hard to believe the paperwork side of the industry hasn't cottoned on yet.

    Had a similar job today, ash reduction with a big wide canopy and lots of drooping limbs. I put in a redirect on one side then added another as I descended to give a better line angle on the droopers. However,i had to use ddrt as I'm not currently allowed to use srt at work,i can feel how much extra energy I've used as a result of the re directs.
  23. Dan Curtis
    I might come depending when it is, and visit a mate that way at the same time
  24. Dan Curtis
    I am, maybe with one or two others
  25. Dan Curtis
    Plenty around, just haven't tried that rope:thumbup:
