As long as the plan is drawn with clear indication of the tree/s in question you should have no problem. If they can make heads nor tails of the map they will contact you.
-
The main thing that annoys me about my 395 is the chain brake handle can seem awkard using it in a tree.
-
I think as access into the tree it is more versitile than using ascenders. But im only thinking of using it for that as another access method
-
Ah, this video has really got my thought pattern going as well i've only ever thought of using 2 lines like that with asenders or klemheist.
-
could you put the hitchclimbers into the steel rings at the end of the bridge? This should also keep them from pulling tight next to each other?
-
So. . . would it work just as well using 2 vt's or would this just not work? Making me feel like doing some climbing experiments like my srt attempts that im still yet to do.

If your willing to post videos of an educational level be willing to be criticised. IMO yes your doing something different, good luck, but don't get all sulky when someone questions the idea. Hugs and kissess Ian :lol:

I really like the ease of going from a conventional-ish climbing system to a fast foot locking system. Im going to have a go on monday i think.
-
A couple from today.
-
I thought it would of made more sense if the portawrap was at the other end?? At least the could lower the line easier??
-
I tested it on constant filming and got 2 and a bit hours out of it. It will last all day on a single charge but i am going to buy a spare as well as a few lil extra attachments. Its self heating to avoid battery shut down. Plus its 100% waterproof.

Hi Rupe, Angles of the lens are defendant on what level of high def you shot in. I shot at 720 so i can use the 170' angle just like the drift. I have played around using some of the other settings and not a noticeable difference. Here's a tree work vid i did. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmkcFiB2npo]YouTube - Tree Work Frankfurt[/ame] The best thing i have noticed is it's really fast at changing it's aperture to light unlike the drift which could sometimes leave shots darkish. Hope this helps. Also its quite good a tag teaming them up on jobs. Planning to strap the drift to the rigging lines, somehow.

Nice post, i like it that you have that personal connection on the back of your truck too.
-
I know both and tbh you'll be better off going for the r bell one. Fountains are still in a financial sink hole. Plus Bob ain't too bad i remember when he was working part time at mj. I think theres more potential to learn how to develop your climbing at r bell. Rather than fountains (it was a step backwards for me). Just my opinion.

Here's a better size comparison

Here's a size compaison for you; GoPro attached with one of 4 type of strapping that comes in the helmet hero set.
-
i'll bring both ropes
-
Posion ivy is very good although i don't think its going to have the life span of the yale xtc's. Its already starting to become fluffy?? But saying that its superb in the hand.
-
TBH you need to look into the zone of influence and what plasticity index your soil is. Root pruning and root barriers may be an option but i imagine removal would be somewhat cheaper. . . Unfortunatly they are classed as high water demand species in nhbc chapter 4.2.
-
bring your lock jack for those oak removals. i want a go during lunch.
-
VT mainly used with a hitchclimber system.

Cannon or GB have less flex in them than the oregon ones. But cost a lot more.
-
Nice work.
-
That is by far the best tree work photo i have ever seen.
