Could be wrong. Was platinum by teufelberger a rope core stitch construction? Great idea if you use cammed assenders. A step up from kern maybe.

Only in the form of rw and knot configuration.

Lack of understanding rope deviation forces and biomechanics in trees along with species specific reactive properties. I personally don't like fully hardware dependant systems.

I agree that it coming off the boot would be a problem and I guess that this is the only way that they could see a quick release would be strong enough. Still merked off with it. I guess I will get used to it. Would have preferred an alankey setting and take it off at the end of a climb or spikes job. Can't please them all I do like the built in loop though. I will definitely post otherwise if I am to eat my words. Encouraged to hear you don't notice it anymore.

Be interested in seeing your mod. Will get the right side next week and see how much it narks me off. I use the pantin alot with srt. I find it incredible that it wasn't picked up in proto types.

Hi old mill tree care. They are great with spikes. 3rd pair I have had of this make. The pair I replaced I bought about two years ago. Normally get through a pair of other boots in 1 year. Can't falt the actual boots. Well worth spending the £ on.

Just got the assender for the Andrew arbpro boots and aside the wrong side being sent I looked at the mechanism needed for rope installation and first thoughts are wtf! Anyone else feel like this. What a disappointment.. Boots and the loops for knee assender are absolutely perfect though.

If you have employed him for years and he still hasn't learnt from numerous mistakes that you have listed he must be a very good friend to you and you to him. Generally when I hear of people banging on about how unless their employees are it is also a good reflection of how poor an employer/trainer they are. Afterall when you employ someone new into the industry you become an in house training provider. If you can't see that they have no potential after a while and have had to replace kit due to a low learning curve then get rid imo. Not a direct pop at you fella. Just a rant in general. I'm sure that you have had your buttons pushed enough times. sorry to keep the de rail up..

A challenge for the collective strength of Arbtalk

Was their any conclusive data on the axe pollards done some years back on beech trees in burnham? was interesting to listen to Helen talking today on the length of stubs left on retrenchment pruning. Do you know of any data also on fracture pruning and reactive dormant bud response? I guess this can fall into the category of deliberately wounding trees can't it?

If you are on a big dismantle and are at the stage of rigging off larger branch work before blocking down, take the saw off of you link it to a branch next to the wood you are going to cut off. Go climb and install lowering rope then go back to your saw n LOP it off. Advance the tree and repeat. Imo you don't need to haul around your saw to all places in the tree. Plan your route and work stations. work clever not needlessly hard. Energy conservation and a good working position are valued bunch of tools when lugging big saws.

Black Sabbath is more fitting for this end of day maybe...

Cheers spudulike. That is the approach I have taken and thought I should now ask due to my kids amusement at the faces I have pulled and stifling my language as much as possible:blushing:

Ta gardenkit will have a look on pc when I can, phone brings up a blank. dan frosh ta but not a picture of what I am working with.

Hi anyone got tips on how to get the spring back into place on a 385xp chain break? Thanks in advance for any help.
-
What diameter rope do you use on the pinto method? my tachyon looks like it will rub with retrieval. I like the look of it and how simple it is. Thanks for posting.

Also in the market for a double cab and from what I have read so far in various places Toyota seems to get the best feedback..

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..if no targets of great value or foot fall let it be. Valuable habit opportunities their..

You should be able to run to work from 6 miles away, not stop for lunch, branch role up 17 20 meter trees climb on 3 strand stretchy rope. All by half 3 in time to clear up and run home again..or is that me being nostalgic or to expectant..;-)

Looks like a reasonable thin reduction and a great compromise with all the vectors involved. Keep up the good arb works.

Throw cradle method and a bigshot. 8 & 10 oz bags dependent on the tree species or ivy abundance. cube is essential imo. I have an old falmteimer with old zing it line in and a newer stein with airline in that one. My accuracy is awful even with big shot. I just have not got it. but I do favour installation of a line into the tree now from the ground as I like to srt to tip if I can. also use throw lines alot for pull line installation and hanger removal. Not adverse to using a ladder and going up trees the old way though.

Can't comment on the sj as I have only used one a few times. I can say that I like my lj though. I don't use it on every climb, I tend to choose it for multi spar trees where I will be up and down lots. I find it's easy tending good for that. I gather the sj is better at self tending. Go for it imo and give it a chance. It took a while for me to get used to it but I love it now. Right tool for the right job and all that.
