    Are you talking about rigging or your personal tie in point (TIP) ?

    Brilliant Thomas. I've just been looking at that diagram on The Treehouse. Hahaha. It's all very compelling. FYI, I can answer some of your questions. I estimate I loose 1hr per week due to throw line tangles and throw ball inaccuracies. I go through 1 throw line per year using Zingit but I'm about to start using Dynaglide so that may improve. I don't know how many bags I go through because I've bought three in two years and still have all three. Based on these answers, the Rope Knight is expensive for me. Still want one though because I'm an impatient cuss and don't like messing with 'miss fires'. If I climbed big trees most if the time I'd buy a Rope Knight in a flash. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yep I was just doing the sums today whilst up a tree and that does make the De Walt expensive, unless you're actually using it a lot. I like the idea but it won't be the best choice financially.

    That's exactly it. I assume they are also charging so much for it because they are certifying it in house and there name is on the liability. It's a very good concept. Would I buy one? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Lots of good ideas here but not much about the Stein one. Anyone? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Still defo looking forwards to that Muttley.

    I looked at that gun earlier (online) and it's very attractive for me. The main reason being that I'm not fencing every week and could even skip a month or so between jobs, this means the gas could go bad and that wastes my money. Expensive to buy but should save me money over three years.

    That Tiffany gear is money well spent Paul. Good for you. Part of the reason we all gravitate towards a good woman is because without them we'd be a complete mess. That's certainly my experience and my wife's presence certainly makes my life much better. I just need to be careful not to balls it all up for myself.

    Pfanner do a long sleeve as well as short sleeve that looks really nice but is much more expensive. Of course, it will probably last as long time. Durability is the reason for for this thread. The price of the Stein is nice but if if it doesn't last 10 minutes then it's actually really expensive! We need to hear from someone who's worn them for ages.

    Also, can they be printed with a company logo?

    Summer will be with us (next month?) so I wondered if anyone has used these? What is the durability like etc? Stein X25 Ventout hi-viz yellow T-shirt (EN471) | F R Jones and Son

    Instead of spending about £25 on a thimble and piece of cord I just put an Alpine Butterfly on the line and clip the biner to that. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I agree Kevin. The Rocker is a great piece of kit but not perfectly suited as a lanyard accompaniment for my requirements. It's a personal thing though and I know some people love them. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I pick mine whilst driving back and wipe them on the Groundies trousers. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    The title of the thread is Best Rope for SRT? I was wondering how much influence the SRWP devices have on the different ropes. For example, the Hitch Hiker works best with Poison Hivee, apparently. Will the RW work more/less efficiently on different ropes? Same applies to the Unicender and RW/ZigZag. At some point I want to get a longer rope but not Poison Hivee if there is a better option.

    I don't have a photo but it's simple really. Lanyard on a Trango Cinch, 2 or 3 Lyon slings with biners to be used as re-directs, 10mm Oval Mallion, Hitch Hiker. Silky on the SawPod.

    Using a saw one handed will bring on tennis elbow pretty quickly. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Why is there a DdRT/ SRWP argument on this thread? It's completely off topic. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    This should be a funny thread. The other day my 7yr old said "Daddy, just quit your job so you can stay home and play with toys. That way you won't be as worn out" They are priceless aren't they. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    That's exactly right and if the child was dosed up un Nurofen they appear happy, calm and docile. Also some schools won't permit children to return to school until 24hrs after last dose of medicine. Unfortunately Ty, ones ability to recognise these things doesn't develop until you have your own children. That's not a joke, it's a biological evolutionary thing. Just be thankful you don't employ a woman who's husband is the main earner. She'd be off work half the time.

    I had the same affliction in both elbows, years ago. Also kept me awake at night and I thought I'd have to change jobs. I bought a Lockjack and the pain disappeared in a few days, for ever. I now climb SRWP which is even easier on the arms.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Eh? I thought you were staying out there. Why back so soon?
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    I Climb SRWP so use less effort but don't understand the weight loss thing. The larger chest comment is also a nonsense to me because I use the upper body less. It's definitely not because of puling full body weight. I've never once pulled my full body weight, always clip the Pantin because it's so much easier. No left knee problem but I have wondered about this too. However I've only been doing it a year so may be too early to know. I'll be getting a right Pantin at some point though just incase.

    I think that bikes should have a 'black box' recording all the telemetry. In the event of a "car pulled out in front of the bike' scenario, one could discover if the bike was doing 120mph when it came round the bend.
