    Do you climb with both ends of the rope? If so, that's the reason. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    If it's a desert island there would be no commercialism so no need for a saw. All I'd need is a bottomless bottle of Rum and a desert island dolly! 👍😂 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I'm sure it's not recommended but I just wanted to see what was underneath. I assume it's a safety reason Yve? To be honest, the attachment slots are so small I'm sure they wouldn't add much to the ventilation.

    Why is the BigShot causing damage? Surely it's got something to do with positioning in the pouch.

    I don't do it all because I can't stand the amount of bounce in the system and having to to make the TIP a bit lower can be annoying. Of course, there are exceptions when I would use it for safety reasons.

    You can open it up to get another wrap on the spool but generally there is some hanging out so that the lanyard is still 15ft. I don't know why the plugged hole is there. I have my line out through it although you need to expand the hole to reduce friction as the rope goes in and out. Works perfectly. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I like the second system Adam. The most important detail about any base anchored system, whether it's fixed or adjustable, it must survive the flop test.

    It's all good Wolter. I'm always up the tree so only a bird poo will fall on my head. Thats exactly what I keep saying JimM! The shell is much bigger than a Petzl or Stein but it measures smaller than them with the ear muffs sticking out the sides. And nothing gets snagged on it. I know some people don't like how it looks. I couldn't care less how I look, It's all about comfort and function for me.

    Well we've had the two hot days of the year here. About 26 degrees but very humid. The ventilation is definitely better because I noticed no sweat build up inside the shell and my hair wasn't drenched as before. Today I've taken the vent cover off, at Treespotters suggestion. It was easy to slide off and reveals six more narrow vents. Got to be a good thing, unless it compromises the safety. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Andrew t, you obviously have not worn one at work. The helmet dimensions are smaller than a Petzl set because the Petzl has everything hanging off the side of it. It doesn't snag on branches and has better air flow so your head will be cooler. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Well done Dan. I used to use a Lockjack with a tether under it. Works really well in is good from an ergonomic point of view. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Hey Keiran. If you're 6ft tall just get a 44ft ladder. Bingo!! 👍😂😂😂 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Safety glasses are useless unless the lens comes down quite close to your cheeks. I've had small bits fly up under the lens straight into the eye ball. I use the Bolle glasses. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    Agreed. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    I love the idea of having one of these and the benefits are obvious. However, no matter how I try, my clients rarely want to keep any chips. I guess it's because of the volume. Shame because if I could use one regularly I'd get one in a heart beat. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Buy the TV. You probably won't be allowed to use your own climbing gear at college and in any case, you may accidentally buy the wrong stuff because you don't have any experience yet. Do your thing at college then buy gear when you know what you want. By the way, did college folk tell you this is a growth industry and there's lots of jobs? Pah! PS: if you get the TV you can watch porn. A rope and harness isn't very exciting really. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

    Pah! I got woken up one hour before the 7am weekend threshold and my cubs have been horrible all day. As a result, lunch at their favourite restaurant was cancelled. Can't wait to get to work tomorrow. Feel very sad 👎👎 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
