TOUCH WOOD SH-08CbNTTƒhƒRƒ‚
-
had a dead tree over a river to bring down as part of a multiday job at a caravan park. Didn't get to it the first day. Came back the second day and it was down. Park owner was a little twitchy. Had to explain to both the park and the neighbours that i hadn't touched it. Came down 3m from a caravan. Still, it made them take their trees a bit more seriously.

No, you're not thick. I was just in a rush out the door. I meant it as... The Blakes hitch will self tend well with a pully. Sorry to not be clear.
-
the next step from the prussic, it's a blake. It's a lovely knot. I still do all my small to medium trees on it. It's cost effective, smooth, doesn't jam up. Safe as houses. It self tends nicely too. Don't get me wrong, I've got a hitch climber. Use a variety of knots on it. It 's great for the bigger trees and limb walking. Still not convinced by the Vt though. It's a lovely knot but I don't like having to think about it when I'm busy. Had chance to play around on a spider jack last sunday. It was lovely. Did seem too nervey on the descent either. Tended like a dream. Thing is i like knots and I'm a tight bastard. I won't be buying one.

what would you pay someone for day rate for forestry work
bareroots replied to Stu's topic in General chat
So then, talked to your man yet? Any come back? -
what about when felling a tree over 15" without a medium/large trees ticket?
-
which route crag?

Please note, I'm not trying in any way to run down this guys awesome climbing. Just a technical issue with the vid. Another tell tale is some of the hand movements. They are to flicky to be paced naturally.
-
I think it's been speeded up by maybe 110% of normal. Not hugely. I've never said it was dramatic. It might be a result of the video process but the leaf and rope movement isn't natural, nor the rate of pendulum.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCL0SBCDzOE&feature=channel_video_title]YouTube - Barefoot Tree Climbing[/ame] some interesting movement here
-
hama, in your twenties, what sort of stuff did you get up to?
-
If you look at the way the rope swings after use, the rate of pedulum, the rebound of branches and leaves, they're all slightly out of sync with everyday reality. I can't proove it to you. I've posted on the youtube vid to ask the camera man to settle the issue but it's something I've seen done before on you tube. It's easiest to tell on shots of movement in water. Splashed water responds to gravity at set pace. If the vids speeded up the water looks likes it's being ripped out of the air artificially quickly. (which it is)
-
Shame about the distance. Keen to get out on the rock a bit more. Hope you find someone.
-
obviously with a chainsaw in your hands free climbing isn't so hot. but what about when not working. any of you have a prodigous nerve and take it to an extreme?
-
... haven't read the whole thread so if this has been stated already i apologize, and by saying this I'm not wanting to take anything away from this guys climbing becasue he is obviously very slick, but this video is speeded up. If you look at the leaves, the rate of pendulum and the speed the branches rebound, they aren't. He's obvious quick but just not quite as quick as you think.
-
You might want ot check Ebays rules on VAT.
-
i've always thought a hinge should be straight with parallel edges. if it's leaning have it thicker. Otherwize it won't work as a cleanly. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
-
if you don't have the metal work you could just tie a italian / munters hitch and descend on that. It should be backed up with a prussic or some such hitch to prevent free fall though. ( it does twist the rope more then a stitch plate or figure of eight)
-
Useing hitch climber pully without a as pliced rope?
bareroots replied to Greenway's topic in Climbers talk
what termination knot are you using? chunky ones such as the figure of eight do get in the way. maybe try something like the fishermans (from the doublefishermans that is used to make the prussic loop). there's a host of other one though. -
at the apf there was a guy selling a new hand saw with little rollers on the side that click the blade in to the sheath. Anyone remember what the name of teh product/company was?
