If they have a system where it is tied off at the base of the tree or another tree you could install a ground based recovery system. Then if they do not have a 2nd line attached they can be lowered straight to the ground. If they are attached by a 2nd line then the rescuer has to remove it however they see fit and again can be lowered to the ground. That is what comes to my mind anyone please feel free to comment and question and or correct if needed. The biggest problem would be if they cut their main line and were attached with a 2nd anchor away from the trunk of the tree

hello all. I am looking for some advice and experiences from you guys and gals. iam a climber have been so for 3 years now and have recently picked up some injuries * some tree related and some not* and it got me in to thinking. what to do after climbing. my ideas so far are studying towards a level 5/6 qualification and get more of a desk job with in arb/forestry * i am currently studying for the ISA certified arborist exam. and know the level 5/6 will be a long way away. get my teaching/assessor qualifications and maybey work at a college or independent training facility. look at a forwarder driving course and move to a job with less stress's and strains on my body. but what other ideas have people got and what have you done was there a course or something that helped. I dont want to get to a point of not being able to climb and not have something lined up or in the pipe line. if that makes sense. many thanks Ian C

I'm not a mechanic but dry out everything you can. Spark plug out and turn over to push out water. Check all terminals. Get a new air filter as the other one may still have damp in it. But I would say most of all check double check then check again.

I'd be interested to know peoples opnions as well I've been thinking of getting some myself.

Get an ex mobility as in disabled wheel chair renault kangoo or something of that size as they will have a ramp bulit in and the height. There is a guy on here who has got one like that but cant remember his name.

i would say go for it in terms of pure cold no we rarely get that cold in this country but where they are perfect is the pouring rain as they will keep ur hands warm and *my gloves are quite thin gloves dry too.

Can I use a rear handle saw for cs39 assessment
Ian Clarke replied to Madhatter's topic in Climbers talk
My trainer had rear handle 201s for our assessment. So I cant see anything against it. But best to check with your training provider/ assessor -
How long do you keep trying with a trainee
Ian Clarke replied to knightstreeservices's topic in General chat
Some people are destined to be climbers some are destined to run their own business/ teams / managers and some are destined to be brash monkeys. But have a chat with him and ask where he wants to take it next? And go from there -
the drop zone has its own time table ;-)
