  1. The reason it will hold is the second block underneath
  2. Can you put a fix pulley with oar in between the cheeks would make it more friendly
  3. Try a small round thimble look like xrr should be nice and smooth
  4. Liros outback with picture a of uluru
  5. I'll be interested I'm in essex
  6. What's this person trying to achieve? if its not his property or causing upset then he could get told off
  7. Well the customer wanted it reduced asked permission was allowed up to 2.5mtrs which would taken it in to epigrowth only. I did get about that of one side near the sycamore as it was heavily in unbalanced. Also lifted it away from the roof. As you see I've since taken down the sycamore for the neighbour Also I'll get beforepics in the future
  8. Please the council. And try to get a nicer outline.
  9. Oak was all over reductions maybe 1mtr off. Was hard with the willow as it lost a bit of shape from the missing front.
  10. Another of the oak
  11. Been climbing around with it today works really well pushes the rw up positively and enges nicely. Its nice that it is super easy to get the length you want. Drop tested the rw on its own dropped my self about a foot 4 times held and didnt even budge. More pictures
  12. Firstly the oak did this one about 2 months ago didn't take very long rw made it easy to stand on the pencil branches. I think what let's it down or doesn't help is that it was thinned about year and a half ago. The council allowed a 2m reduction I didn't come near 2m just wasnt any decent points. Next one is the willow did this 2 weeks ago had to remove damage most of the front is missing should of got extra pictures. Then I had the option to reduce or Pollard. I hate pollards so went harder reduction. Tips in heinsight I should of thinned them a not more to balance the canopy visually but its made worse by missing front. Took about 20ft out of it. Im happy with this. So please tell me why I shouldn't be. (Life is wasted if you dont learn) Please give you opioon. Bit about me as previously mention I've only been climbing 11months no previous tree experience but have watched some truly talented climbers.
  13. Came up and with this a while ago but only just made it. I'll do a video of me using it in a week or so maybe on some liros reef. . Ideally I would like a real rw to make it compatible. So if anyone has one to lend or donate you can earn yourself a tether. Also I'll make them compatible with the hc. And any length can be made depending on request If there is any interest I'll make up a batch of 20 or so. Cheers
  14. Name suits. I'm about to order a hank want an 11mm rope.
  15. For my rope saver I use a shackle spliced onto the outer of prussic cord. But sailing beads are a good idea.
  16. Had this with a small eucalyptus. Kept getting told "customers won't like that should of just cut back to previous" basically became a Pollard. But I put muffs on and got on with it thinning by a third and taking third of height. And cut long story short had to price go back to look at some other work and customer said it was the best it's ever been I didn't mention I did but was silently smug
  17. Little opinion nugget. What depresses me about our trade is finding your self doing rubbish jobs. Well hard reductions for people I love minor reductions. I normally tell the customer if they have a hard reduction in no time it will be almost the same size. Where as a minor reduction it won't put out rapid growing water sprouts. Went passed a tree that was done two years ago oddly enough it has loads of sprouts and looks huge.
  18. Stunning pictures
  19. This is one from the other day took about 11/2 hr maybe a bit heavy on the tips. Also had to try to balance the front most of it was blown out. Makes the side look even heavier. Hope to revisit in a few years. I like reducing willows instead of pollarding them. Bit about me 11months climbing no previous experience in tree. Any thoughs and opions will be welcomed.
  20. I use a singing rock timber 2 couldnt be happier but when i first got it it dug in like hell i sewed in a tree motion padding i can where all day in comfort. price to usability ratio is high scoring
  21. I wouldn't by any means consider myself experienced! But have found my better climbs have been where i have not worried or stressed, just take it easy relax take as long as it takes getting the job finished, i is better than rushing and gettting a nasty battle scar. I found if i just chill i find my self being more efficient taking time to look for an easier path, and only starting the saw when im comfortable try all angels you can stand, making sure you've done all you can where you are. And then all of a sudden you look round and think right only that small amount left as opposed to oh shite im knackerd and have loads left to do. Just what i have found good climbers typically look as if they are just taking a gentle stroll. If you look like your rushing your probably being inefficient. That's the perspective i get when im on the ground.
  22. I sat down for a break and had a really itchy back. Got home and my partner counted 12 bites. And a swollen arm and hand. Don't even ask about the rest of my week complete disaster. Just glad awkward rigging job went so smoothly
  23. Speak to as many companies you can find. Askfor a trailnoffer to do it unpaid. Always led me into work.
  24. My 540 is great terrible on small on off jobs but brilliant on big jobs. I would rather a 201 for small jobs and 540 for big jobs. But actually have a 150 makes a good combo
  25. I would like to get more practiced and offer splicing as a service but with all the legal needs I'm not going to bother. Keep it to my own. But I feel if you understand the mechanics of splicing you know if it's a good splice
