    Hi Jack, nice one matey. But i'm nearly 45, 2 knackered knees, and several other ailments, I did karate all through my twenties and early thirties but not done owt for nearly 10 years. I really miss the sparing and rough and tumble of it, just dont want any more injuries.

    Countryboy, just follow the thread and go for it. I'm just doing it for the kids and to have fun. I just want to go about it the right way if possible.

    Sorry for all the questions rachel, but why do you have an eye on one end of the rope.
  5. harvey b davison
    Ooh, i have bad knees to start with. I broke and dislocated one kickboxing years ago. I might have to look at something a bit softer then. No i'm not a climber.

    Hi, just wondering if anyone does judo or have one. I am thinking about joining a club. Had a taste of it before, and really liked it. Just wanting to know other peoples views/ experiences. Thanks Harvey.

    Hi all, I dont climb at all for my job, and never intend to. However, whenever i take the kids to woods they are always on at me to climb, make swings, rope bridges etc. Now i can vaguely remember how to make rope bridges, but ive never really learned anything about climbing. So i guess my question is how do i get started and what basic gear do i need, remembering this is just for fun and not for work. Hope this makes sense. Thanks Harvey.

    Nice work rachel, and welcome to the forum.

    Wish i had talent like this, wouldnt know where to start with a carving. Like the bears, but its the owl thats caught my eye.

    Its strange, because i'm sure i have read on the website of the trainer that i use, that the instructor provides the winch etc, however when i emailed one of the people in the office enquiring about the course and equipment needed, they emailed me a list back with the winch on it, and stating they expect me to have all equipment. As im not looking to do the course until about october/november i'm sure i will get to the bottom of it. Thanks again to all those saying i can borrow their kit. Much appreciated. If i did decide to buy my own, which combination of winch/strops would be the best to go for ?
  14. harvey b davison
    Wow, thankyou for that.
  15. harvey b davison
    Spot on, this is also what i got told during my apprenticeship. No bj for me, bloody arguing all night again. Off to tidy up after concreting yesterday.
  16. harvey b davison
    Yes mate.
  17. harvey b davison
    Well, that is the thing. I emailed them yesterday with my enquiry, and they replied saying that they expect me to have all the equipment required. But i'm sure i read somewhere that the training provider/instructor would have a winch for the pupils to use. I dont mind buying my own if i have to, just dont want to pay full wack, as i dont work in trees, i just like doing the courses, for the experience.

    Hi I am thinking about doing the above course just for the experience However i am led to believe that you need your own winch and strops. I dont fancy the idea of paying for top of the range stuff as i dont think it would get much use after the course, if any at all. I have seen some in machine mart, but would these be any good and what size winch/cable/strop would give me the best combination to get through the course. Also how many high lift wedges and again which sort. Hope this makes sense:confused1: Thanks Harvey

    ive been hit and abused by more oaps' riding them mobility scooters, than i ever have by a young child on a bike. Kids up to the age of about 8 should be on the pavement imo. Mobility scooters are a pain regardless of where they are.

    Same here, needle and thread, but can also do straight lines on a machine.

    Nice one hotrod with the dolmak, you wont be disapointed. I bought one just before xmas and love it. It is a tad on the heavy side, but when its in the cut ringing up you barely notice. One thing i did was to take the solid bar off and chain, and put an oregon bar and chain on as mine came with a solid nose and multicut chain. It transformed the saw tremendously. Mine lives with a 28" bar on it, pulls it with ease. Welcome to the club.

    Ooops

    I was looking at these 2 models, but i am unclear whether they are split shaft or not. I would prefer split shaft for ease of transportation.

    My parents have a pure patterdale, it has never been worked properly, but it would fight anything, bark at anything, guard the house till death, and yet would be the softest, gentliest dog possible to my two kids, who have known it since the day they were born. It has never given me an ounce of worry towards my children.
