  1. Ok ok, here she is but she's a shy girl so I couldn't get her to show her Lady Garden.
  2. Skyhuck, that's the funniest joke of 2013 so far! Lol Lol Lol!
  3. Ermm, because everyone else is thinking it, is this going to be a photo thread?
  4. Are you bored? No work in today? I'll vote for you!
  5. The Protos Forest is for groundies. The Protos Arborist is for climbers. I got the Arborist cos I bought it from a shop in Holland. It won't be available here for months because of our retarded HSE and CE system.
  6. Hahaha! iPhone with Griffen or Otterbox.
  7. It's a Bucaneer.
  8. No. These are the ones: Gloves - Treeworker.co.uk They're called Treeworker Dark Gloves. £5+vat. I've found them to be excellent value, although I don't wear gloves every day, maybe 3 days a month in winter.
  9. Welded gauntlets for handling thorny stuff. For climbing when very cold I use those black gloves that Treeworker sells. It says in the description that they are curiously grippy in the wet and its true.
  10. Jesus! Bricks and bottles of Vodka.
  11. Baby oil would have been useful in that situation!
  12. Very nice Dog Tag but what's the green ring for?
  13. I think what Mikelawn means is that it's a tubular back pack. I'd choose the Petzl though. I can't imagine all those little pockets would lsat very long. In fact I nearly bought the Petzl except it doesn't have the internal spring to make it stand up and I don't need to carry it any distance.
  14. No. I don't climb on spikes that much so I won't sacrifice the cost of another Pantin to that.
  15. Is it available as a download?
  16. Yes, that's my point. It's beautiful not to see one. As an experiment I dismantled a medium sized Cypress a few weeks ago using a prusik. It was hell and I'll never be that stupid again!😂😂
  17. A year ago I changed from 13mm XTC to Poison Hivee in a Lockjack and the thinner rope transformed the LJ. It would be the same with the SJ of course.
  18. Not a Prussik loop in view. Beautiful!
  19. :001_smile:Ok so I've adjusted it properly and it now sits lower on my head. It was on the highest setting. I've also measured it because loads of people say it looks to big and will get snagged on branches. The Petzl Vertex Vent with Husqvarna muffs is 27cm wide when on the head with muffs in. The Protos is 32cm wide. Protos is smaller overall then:thumbup1:.
  20. This kind of thing makes me ashamed to be part of the human race.
  21. I have not used either but I'd choose the ART Positioner. Less sensitive to wet so it's more predictable.
  22. A Petzl Vertex measures about the same externally as the Protos. The difference being the Protos is measured across the helmet, the Petzl is measured across the ear muffs.
  23. Probably not cheaper at the shows as it costs so much to exhibit.
  24. Yeah, I don't think school will work out for me so I've decided not to bother. I'm four now, by the time I'm eight I'll have 10 adults working for me and by the time I'm fourteen I'll have my first Ferrari.
