Need a set of av rubbers for an 084av, can anyone help?

thanks maximus, remember I am in the other hemisphere, stranger things have happened . . . . .

yes your quite right, I'm still not happy with it, but I decided 5 hours was plenty for 2 and a bit minutes of footage!

A couple of dismantles from late last year, working on the rail project, in Adelaide. Watch in HD, enjoy!

Adam, have you worked in Austria? if so,would you recommend it? Have you looked at the states,heard very good things from a few people?

A few pics from the first two jobs of the new year,talk about shock to the system! The first few are from a black butt removal, the one with me standing on top of the barrel are from a liquid amber I craned out, awesome! I am going to invest in a camelbak though, friday was pushing 32, very hot. Any other guys on here use them, thoughts and model would be appreciated!

cheers, thanks guys! merry christmas!

haha, I was waiting for that, its called kino,gum trees produce it when under stress/decline, that was the first tree i removed over here, thought i had cut my bloody hand off!, not such a shock now! get over here mate,its awesome!

A few pics from the last six months in Sydney,enjoy!

Same as above, Treemotion without a doubt, mine replaced my sequioa when it failed, can't believe i didn't get one in the first place!

Hello all, Ime finishing my placement in january,looking to go up to northern territory, anyone recommend any companies? Cheers pete

Rope lenght really depends on the work the company has, I took a 50m poison. Too short to DRT a woodland eucy in the hills (first lateral available, and get the ladders out), and too long for alot of street trees (perfect for 25m trees, haha). Depends on your climbing style (srt/keeping rope tidy through the canopy/having enough rope to self rescue). I was happy with the length and my decision to take my own rope, i like to know it's history; however it is a large chunk of weight to take (also didnt take spikes). I'm sure the bigger companies will have alot of rope available, and in various lengths. Or you could get one while you are out there, treegear and atraes are two good suppliers who put alot back into the industry; a good 11m rope is around 5.50 inc tax per metre.

Hope that helps with your decision.

What he said! But i wouldn't buy any kit here, get it from the states or uk, kit is so expensive over here, I went to buy a side case for a 66, 95bucks! you must be joking. . .

that's great I will email you over the wkd,cheers!

Looks awesome mate,any jobs goin:)?

Hello all,I'm currently living and working in Sydney,there is opportunities for a sponsorship,but I would prefer to go somewhere else for 6months than spend my entire time in oz in Sydney.Have heard good things about Perth,interested as to whether anyone is working there now or has worked? What is the spec for rent wages etc cheers!

Good choice sj and velocity is awesome! With a pulleysaver or rope guide its unbeatable!

evening all, noticed in an arb magazine that they had an advert for dmm swivels, just wondered if anyone knew if and when they would be releasing them? also are there any differences in the hot or cool option of samson velocity rope, or is it just another option for the colour coordinated climber?

cheers

defiantly green how do you get pics up here?

I agree, I'm also very intrigued about splicing, never really paid it much thought before, but can see I shall be having a go,

thanks

Are they really worth the money and if so which size would you go for?

I climb on a spiderjack or a hitchclimber, I'm sure this has been asked before but couldn't find any old threads
