  1. Hi Ian I'm really not worried people don't smoke orange cannabis lol. House hunt is on hold until December due to one of my boys being diagnosed with dyslexia . We are waiting to get one to one for him if we move now he won't get it . Very exited about the APF and looking into chainsaws and stuff . I won't be spending much just getting some ideas for next year .
  2. My boss has taught me so much about buisness and has been a loyal and good friend for many years . I'm training someone else to do my job as we speak and It's all being done the best way possible . Treat others like you would yourself .
  3. That's why I didn't go green lol . Cheers
  4. Good advice I'm scrabbling at the moment working my backside off to get things sorted and I'm actually doing very well indeed . I already see myself as succesful now it's all about the journey 😀. Look forward to seeing you at the APF and I love your easy lift harness it looks fantastic 👍
  5. I may have confused the title a bit when I say burning ships I am talking about the willingness to succeed a captain actually burned his ships when he arrived on an island and told his crew now we must win or be killed . I am already working weekends and evenings through word of mouth but I have indulged a bit with the work wear and buisness cards but it's all about inspiring myself 😀 . I do value your opinion mick and appriciate how you don't sit on the fence
  6. I have known my boss since I was 16 and he is going to sub me after I leave . Burning ships not bridges 😀.
  7. Thanks I created it then then i found someone to finish it he is now doing my buisness cards website etc .
  8. After many inspirational words from friends and family and the thought that failure is not an option I have given my notice to my employer . It's time for me to run my own business again but this time I am determined to succeed . I have given a years notice as I have the upmost respect for my boss it was just time for me to start again . I don't start until March next year but I have set a few bits up ready including website buisness cards and some clothing from arborwear who have been fantastic . Here are a few pics of my logo and clothing .
  9. Kernmaster or cougar blue . I personally climb on kern and find it very good for srt and double . I have never used cougar blue but everyone says it is very good .
  10. Looks very handy though and solid . I like my petzl bags so much that I wouldn't change .
  11. Looks like a golf bag .
  12. One I spotted on the way home from town . Days are numbered I think .
  13. I managed to get all my certificates replaced no problem 👍
  14. The only knots I use when climbing srt and working srt are timber hitch with stopper knot if I'm using a base anchor . Or running bowline for top anchor or retrievable I use a alpine butterfly . Sometimes I do use a secondary rope on the base anchor to shorten my very long climbing line .
  15. Remember that SRT can be very simple you don't have to have loads of gear if you climb on a HC double system then you need a Rope wrench stiff tether and a foot ascender and away you go 😀.
  16. Go rec climbing with people who climb srt . That's how I picked it up . Also what rich said .
  17. I have always wanted to get one but never had the money at the time. Looks impressive 👍
  18. Have you come across any where you work
