  1. prob broken earthwire on switch easy to recrimp. take screw out of stop switch and remove lever before taking handle appart, or bits will be everywhere. split handle take photo of insides to aid reassembly. check wires to switch one will have prob broken. good luck
  2. What problems have you got, poor earths/poor fitting bulbs/ blowing bulbs
  3. Yes but better fun than taking 084 up, now thats a ball ache, but sometimes required.
  4. 560 on 20", 395 or 660 on 28". Depends on what trees you work on. I go 14" 200t, 20" 372 and then 30" 660,
  5. You and your toys. He who dies with the most toys wins, you must try and keep up with me.lol
  6. Sounds like you need a third pair of hands as said before, to ease your learning curve.
  7. Pulley saver can be replaced with a cambium saver or like. If you do not have one of them once you get to your work possition choke your main line round trunk with running bowline use figure of 8 to descend if you need to backed up with a prussic knot, practice this low and slow until you get used to it.
  8. Flip line and main line through pulley saver round trunk so you can get out of tree if needed. Lowering pulley attached just below your lines so dosen't lock your lines when loaded. Good groundy to let wood run therefore missing your feet and reducing shock loading

    Bottled it

    Always told myself to believe in your ropes and anchors. and to concentate basically on the 6ft of the tree above and below you as beyond that its going to hurt you. A lot is in your mind control and compartmentalising, concentrate on the job in hand and dont let outside influences affect you if they are not applicable to the immediate job . Hope this makes some sort of sensce
