Spiderjackery III (plus two new SJ mods from ART)
MOG replied to joe into trees's topic in Climbers talk
funny that joe i was finding i could do Tip 1. in 0.85 with old lefty and 1.00 in the the right. not like i was timing it or anything. NOTE!!! *these numbers are entirely fictional, and are intended to bear no resemblance to any other numbers whether real or imaginary. you are a funny man, Mr harris love it -
hahaha yeah joe, just remember who wiped ur ass on the work at the vic comp... with the fast descent, where you went into the truck Ooooooo Sounds minta drew Mog

yeah i just figure these's all take too long and putting on. my idea was for work situtaions and doesnt seems to twist rope. one hand on hitch and one hand underneath on rope below the bend. smooth sailing all the home:biggrin: @ drew i glad accept your offer and we should do it when i am over in few weeks. maybe at the fancy dress comp? and video it be funny as. i think be gd idea to have a mattress underneath tho:blushing: or some kind of back up atleast. i have to use your rope too bro:001_tt2: your on the wrench then eh? Cheers MOG

bit clearer what i mean here, Ropeguide all the way. i challenge anyone to a descent race on my hitch:) hehe
-
yeah some guys put figure 8 under there hitch to take most of the friction, i use my landyard bineer and clip through my main attachment ring (treemotion of course). this creates a bend in the rope creating the friction. this takes all the weight and you just have to hold your hitch open. and is alot quicker that setup up a figure 8. i post a pic up later today, so you get the idea. less gear the better:) spiderjack phfffff ;p cheers MOG

oh dear oh dear, grow some balls a get a hitch;p i got one of the first SJ and seemed to creep but i fair used it heaps maybe the same problem. i will ask joe adam. cheers mog

cheers guys was great fun @caddy. Nar its not the Karri near Pemberton. we climb one last year there tho 81m and camped in top amazing tree too. vid is Treerise. Its a Eucalyptus viminalis in Tasmania bro. @Robarb bout 2 hrs i say. once i got the first branch i had to lead climb the rest and i tell you there were some BIG gaps. and lots of tieing into branch collars on dead and broken out branches, which was nice. cheers MOG

NZ by along way so far, got it all. Norway is amazing country and even better treework. Sweden is the same would love to spend more time there, and the women dont get me started. jaw dropping to say the least. have to agree with ross tho, there is something about being in a kauri tree/forrest Australia you do some big s...t, and see some too. in plant life and animal. very cool country would takes years to see properly there is alot more of the world and trees to see tho, a rated list is hard to do as there are alot of variables. i think to the most it is the people you meet and enjoy the experiences with and the country. Cheers MOG
-
very cool adventure man. be a amazing experience, enjoy and get loads pics and vids. cheers MOG

i use Omega steel 65kn on majority of my rigging. even on big bits, the bigger the piece the more wraps i do around the log. following the same direction, then clip bineer back onto line. With all the wraps around the log, loads of the energy goes into this, before the hitting the bineer. i dont use a half hitch as i was taught, as the bend ratio is to tight and then burns the rope on rope with the friction. i seen ropes snap right on that bend, due to this. On very big bits, i use a d-shacktle on to splice (as a splice is stronger than knots, due to the same point of Bend ratio's). and then use same as you would with your bineer. this is mainly because the bend ratio is way better, due to the diameter of the d-shackle. and they usually are bit higher rated too. cheers mog

awesome:) someone mad than us:) or is mad the word....

lol ok so we buy a saw return it a few times and then it should be ok??? make sense to anyone else..... never had that problem with the MS200. i try and chuck a new chain on it tho, see if any difference. Cheers MOG

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4lQEVS4_aQ]TreeRise - YouTube[/ame] There plenty of big trees round Melbourne, sing out if you come over and want to climb so big Mountain ash. Cheers MOG

Mmm interesting... i also have had this saw for a few months now and at the start i thought yeah it pretty good. they recently i left mine in the truck and had to borrow someones MS200 and man if i could go back i would straight away! just hasn't got the power, like a few guys are saying it just bogs down. takes abit to kick into high rev's. chainbreak keeps sticking and i have to clean it regularly. on the plus on fuel its amazing!Mmmmmmm not looking good ay. why you reckon change to winter tho? Cheers MOG

280ft for a huge Burnt Dead Euc, hoping to go higher over Xmas and new years in tassy, they are the biggest in Australia over 300ft. free climbed a crane once, to be fair it was more of a epic ladder climb and then dodgy bit at the top. truly amazing experience 740ft what a view man. the higher the better! keep on doing it guys, push the Limits! Cheers MOG
