Ace, most will have seen it but it's worthy of this page haha

That second one is pretty sweet I must say, so is the first actually, both had a lot of work done to those videos, good shoutout mate

What a good spot!

Got a feeling it's a safety hat in the style of a cowboy hat mate

I have been a freelance climber for a while now, but I do own my own tipper truck,lowering kit and saws too, so I try and get a few of my own jobs on the side, it also is a bonus to the company's I contract too (for extra money) but everyone is correct it's not easy, but I prefer the flexibility of been self employed, I don't have any children, and my wife also works, neither of us are very materialistic so we are happy renting a small house and travelling and spending our money on projects when we can, both of us are always trying to minimise our bills so we can afford to have days off with each other. But it's all to do with circumstances, if I had kids, I would seriously have to look into been employed, if buying a house also interested me I guess I would have to look into it too. Biggest niggle, as already been stated is rescuing jobs that people have under quoted, and people expecting a 10 hour day for the same price as a 8 hour day. if you love climbing, you advance quickly.

Certainly starts you thinking about all the possibilities sugru can be used in arb

Been on the runner for a bit now and it does get a lot smooth her and easier to release the more you use it, just got some of this sugru to try out, I don't climb with gloves so it just makes it a little nicer to grip

Bohmers Tree Care promotion video, I like the way that he makes all the felling cuts at the end while he still has his climbing line in. Enjoy

Dream groundies, unfortunately not too many around like this crew

Thought I would start a thread on the very best produced videos out there. Many of you will have seen most of these, but I'll start with these three from Jeff traynor (trees are my business) main climber is Johnny Pro (I'm guessing). What I would do too have some of there kit! When I come across some more ill let you all know. Video 1 Video 2 Video 3

Seems fine too me mate, I have the 14mm Sirius and love it, use it for everything

Use it as a base anchor mate

The videos I have watched about the SAKA look good but it looks a little bulky, does it fold up?

I think it's slightly closed, I haven't touched it from getting it (I have the new gold one) I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks for the reply btw

However I try I'm still finding it s bitch to release, it's ok to control once released, it the initial bit which is a pain, I'm running Orange kernmaster and weigh around 13.5 stone, any advice?

Werewolf

Pfanner zermatt here, although I love them, I find them so big compared to my old air streams, I fancy the stein.....forgot the name already, with no toecap for climbing in, although they don't look as rigid for spiking in

I'm a idiot, says on the ring the size haha

Actually Adams setup looks quicker, does the x ring take abut of fiddling to get it to sit snug?

At least no rigging was involved lol

I like that, what size ring is that?

Looks so smooth compared To my roperunner, love the hip thruster in the background of that video mate haha

That's a monster! No spikes even! Haha

What are people using to clip into the tiny hole on the roperunner, can't even fit a dmm xsre in it.

I have to agree with you mate, even though there are guys using it all the time I prob wouldn't do it, roperunner?
