    It's not a base anchor, its the left side of my line just hanging. Can be used for retrieval on pruning jobs. Because its hanging loose I can throw it out the way of the area I'm working in. I set up this way so that I don't have a long tail of rope on the ground annoying the groundies. If its undesirable to have it hanging like that, it can be coiled up at the TIP so that it out the way. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    This movie better be good because we've all built it up a bit. I've been having trouble sleeping due to anticipation. 😂😂 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    That's good that you've tried the farms. Try them again. If you call me now I can't offer you anything but who knows what will happen in a week or three. A few big jobs could come in, some extreme weather could create some work. Just because you called all the local Arb firms last month, that was a month ago. Call them again. Keep at it, then keep at it again. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    One shouldn't compare price because its a different device. Also there is a Ropeknight thread. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    @ the OP. It's interesting actually and something that I started thinking about a few weeks ago. I'm a regular on here as well as two other Arb forums, I also occasionally go on other forums. The other two Arb forums are very different to Arbtalk. They are civilised and mostly stick to facts and real events but lack the humour that is ever present on Arbtalk. I think it is this humour that creates a feeling of camaraderie but it can also become a negative aspect. I'm not brave enough to fully explain any further for fear of misinterpretation. What makes this site great can also occasionally make it bad. By this I don't mean "the site", I mean the humans that use it. I hope that makes sense.

    I've only read page 1. I really hope this isn't going to be a repeat of the christmas time thread that Chipper ran. While it was tremendously entertaining for the rest of us, I'm surprised Chipper wasn't swinging from the rafters by the end of it. Anyway, this thread shows that he has a bit of tenacity (he hasn't topped himself) and the fact that he's thinking of alternatives shows he's opening his mind and thought process, a bit. Keep it up Chipper and don't get drawn into a slanging match again.

    As Wouter has pointed out, I said "as well as" not "as fast as". What the dealer meant that for a pruning saw, it will cut as well as an MS200t. Taking into account all factors of functionality, ergonomics and speed from harness to cut to harness, the Husky will do it just as well and as fast and has all the other benefits. I'm sure it won't cut a log as fast as an MS200t. (I could be wrong)

    Why did they come out?

    Twice the price to last five times longer is good value for money I think. Having said that, £25 for something that serves me well for a year isn't bad I suppose. Local barmaid serves me all year long, costs me a heck of a lot more than £25. I TAKE IT ALL BACK STEIN. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yes, first 15 seconds to make an impression....... Which is then forgotten as soon as quotes arrive in their inbox and focus moves to the £. Boo! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Mine has the rubber boots on the rod ends. Cheap thin material on the corners. Not tough enough for the purpose. 👎 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Could this one be a contender? Has anyone used one? Edelrid Spring Bag - Throw Bags & Throw Lines - Climbing

    On reflection, that's common practice in French land. Who remembers that huge Cedar dismantle with 300 college students and a big crane bouncing all over the car park! :lol:

    Not only did he appear to untie from the lump and flip line round the stem but it was just really badly set up. The position of the crane boom and the chains were all wrong. He was lucky to survive that!

    So what is the latest on Cube technology? I've had my Stein cube for less than a year, I don't use it every day and the rods have worn through at the corners. This represents poor value for money IMO. Any thoughts??

    I dismantled a Lime tree with a bit of Cut n Chuck, a bit of free fall, a bit of rigging and a there's a bit of Fungi at the end for all the decay lovers. I also tried to do a bit with the Hitch Hiker in view so that anyone interested in it, can see it working while in ascent.

    That's a concern for me too but it would focus the mind to be better I think. Also, if its more accurate then less chance of mishap. The foam sleeve should make it less aggressive than a throw bag I would have thought. Interesting though, isn't it. I wished I had one today, firing into these was a pain. Five missed shots in the first two trees and I've got two more to do! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
