    What happened to the future at Special Branch Paul?

    I don't enjoy tweaking stuff, I can't be bothered. Therefore, I never fiddle about. Except now I'm forced to because I couldn't find Armor Pruss. However, after a tantrum on the first day with this Sirius, I'm fine with it now.

    Calm down. Of course I don't, do you? It's a reasonable question to provoke information as to why a crane is needed. A crane for a 40' tree indicates to me that the site conditions must be difficult, therefore I'm interested.

    A crane for a 40' tree?!

    Not enjoying the Sirius too much on Cougar Blue. I've tied the Hitch Hiker VT knot and it is very smooth then binds up, then smooth. I've added a wrap, then another and no difference. I guess I'll try other knots before chucking it in the bin.

    Love it Rich. I wouldn't want to use it for DdRT as it feels skinny and hard in the hands but it's a dream in my Hitch Hiker compared to the old Poison Hivee.
  7. Old Mill Tree Care
    I agree Adam in terms of smoothness but I found 8mm Armor Pruss to last much longer. I've only tried the 10mm Beeline.

    I've seen photos of tree motions fitted with a Rock Exotica 'Rock n Roll' (I think it's called). Great idea.

    Yep, just seen that 20seconds ago. They don't call it HRC which is why I didn't see it last week. I am but a dumb tree climber! I'll see how this Sirius works out cos it's cheap and I got two pieces.
  10. Old Mill Tree Care
    Easiest tree ever to deal with. 1st: Make sure you're the climber and stay aloft until all the raking is done. 2nd: Make sure you're quote included removing all the timber. 3rd: Call Nepia and he'll come and take all the heavy timber away for you.

    You're not a real climber unless you're fighting like hell with stuff. (Waist belt tight and leg loops a bit loose here).
  12. Old Mill Tree Care
    Only you seem to know this Mark. What the hell is going on with you two?!

    I recently got a length of Cougar Blue to climb on. My Armor Pruss worked well but is now worn out and I couldn't find any more. I got some 8mm Sirius and used it today in the wet. For 2hrs it was perfect, then impossible when it was really wet. Then it dried out a bit and was good again. Anyway, I hear HRC is good but there are no UK retailers for it. Any thoughts on what works best with the HH on Cougar Blue? (I had some 6mm Liros a couple of years ago and that was sublime on Poison HiVee).
  14. Old Mill Tree Care
    Hahaha! My yoghurt nearly came out my nose! Brilliant!
  15. Old Mill Tree Care
    I love you Mark! How do you know BTW? We want the story and if there isn't one, just make one up Lol!!
  16. Old Mill Tree Care
    Oh yeah. Sorry, I thought you meant modding a Zillon. Stupid me.
  17. Old Mill Tree Care
    Right on Mark! Sign me up for one on each foot and two more incase the first two get wet/ dirty/scratched.
  18. Old Mill Tree Care
    Why do have to mod it first?
  19. Old Mill Tree Care
    Protos, is I've mentioned before. Once or twice.
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes but do you find it a fiddle with the catch every time Mark? I only climb SRWP so I use the Pantin for almost every ascent, even if it's a couple of metres. (Elbows hurt too much if I don't!) Thanks Al.
  21. Old Mill Tree Care
    New question for those that have been using the CT foot ascender: Is the lock feature on the CT an advantage so that your rope doesn't pop out or is it a hindrance getting the rope in and out all the time. I guess it's pros and cons to both but just wondered if there is a preference. Thanks.
  22. Old Mill Tree Care
    Yes I do.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Has anyone been using a Zillon and how is it going with the Positioner?
  24. Old Mill Tree Care
    To be honest I think it's disgusting, the guy in the onesie has no place here!
