    IMO the Skylotec is the worst harness available. But take no notice of me because harness choice is all about comfort. It's a totally personal thing and you need to find the comfiest one for you 👍.

    What exactly do you use it for? Is it well worth it or just a luxury?

    Just found a piece of Cobra brace so I made a better one.

    Just made this from an old piece of leather. Not brilliant and it may be an inch too short but I'll try it on Monday and see what happens.

    What he said.
  6. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes. Copper S. It's a proper go-kart.

    What will you be using it with? HC, LJ?
  8. Old Mill Tree Care
    Cool. That's exactly my view too👍.

    Does anyone use these for jobs like measuring out fencing or measuring and setting out a patio job? It's primary function would be measuring trees of course but it got me thinking, one tool for multiple jobs. Any thoughts?

    I've just been looking at the Leica Disto D5 laser tape. Does anyone use these for jobs like measuring out fencing or measuring and setting out a patio job? It's primary function would be measuring trees of course but it got me thinking, one tool for multiple jobs. Any thoughts?

    I fully agree Albere. It's on those upward sloping skinny branch walks that I really miss my Lockjack. The rest of the time SRT is working so well for me.

    What is rope retirement criteria Adam. Folks have different views so I'm just curious.

    Inevitable but horrible. Be safe chaps.

    Not so bad here, although cars are sheltered by the house.

    Most of the HH climbers in the US are on Poison HiVee. I've been using it since January and no Pantin damage. I'd forgotten about Velocity.

    I couldn't live without my Bigshot, on account of the fact that hand throwing is actually impossible. 😄

    KM111 and Poison HiVee seem to be the most popular SRT ropes for working, from what I've read. I think the guys that use SRT purely for access use different ropes.

    I know. The funniest part is that John then sold the wrecked car on eBay for £6K and thought that was a great result. So much so, he bought another one last week!😂

    I took my boys to see Santa and asked him for a night with his female Elf. I may be on the naughty list now!

    Back to the car theme. A few months ago my friend bought a 98K Porsche, took it straight to Brands Hatch and wrecked it on the second lap. Totally destroyed and he got one bruise. The insurance company said "no, you were on a track".😂😂😂

    Good. I saw this last night. I like the simplicity of it and saw the hand loop thing on another video last week. For someone who doesn't use a Hitch Hiker, you're spending a lot of time on HH threads. Just like I did. It's surely only a matter of days until you order one. Here's think to help you with your order.RopeTek | Reaching New Heights?.

    Hi BenR Thanks for tips. I already use a sling at the right size for me and it works well but I only use it for the long mid air ascents with the hand ascender. The sit/stand technique is ok for short ascents and the sit part is acceptable because I really shove the HH up the line. This was not as effective with the RW. You're dead right about the practice part. My original questions were posted in order to get tips to refine my technique My 9 months on a RW have taught me the technique along with constantly trawling threads on Treebuzz, Treehouse and here. Keep safe.

    Just swing the chainsaw round the top making sure its nice and flat. Job done! I see it done like that in my area all the time:laugh1:

    In my world, flood water would have also washed an extra 30 ton in!

    I like cocktails!
