That’s my usual rigging knot btw. Quantum rabbit bowline.

I assume you mean tail outside instead of tail inside. Mainly a hangover from tying into my rock climbing harness like that and that just being how it was easier there. Did also spend several hours one evening wondering whether one way was better than the other and doing a lot of loading and unloading, shaking, bending etc. Tail outside is harder to shake apart if you forget a stopper knot. Not a massive difference but still noticeable and repeatable. I usually use a double fisherman's stopper. Have rigged the proverbial moon on it.

Have you ever tried two in series? Like main point and redirect, both beckethreaded.

That’s excellent. Cheers.

That's a great tip.

He’s never been present enough in popular culture so I took the liberty of writing him into a song a few years ago. https://youtu.be/W4v6f-ixKnQ?si=ThedKiZhSWqfdazg

That makes more sense.

Now that looks a bit more useful. 500kg is a big piece. Do you often do that much from up top? Have you tried a crash gybe preventer to compare it to?

Can you post a picture of what you mean please.

What CS38 courses aren’t covering SRT?!

Didn’t fancy checking back for any answers then?

Belting last day of the pheasant season. Gave Sailor a bit more freedom than I have before, dropping the lead to let him snake off on short raids. Couple of slow recalls but overall win. He did successfully lose me before lunch. I’d stopped him to untangle his feet and was playing with my hair or something. Hare came past and that was that. A demonstration of how shit a hunter he is: I passed the hare on my way to get him. He didn’t catch it but he did himself get caught by one of the guns. On the penultimate drive, he went looking for a bird when I told him to, found it, stayed and then picked it up on my urging. Trotted past an elder statesman of the syndicate with it on the way out, wings sticking everywhere and just generally looking endearingly graceless. Made his day I think. Didn’t take any photos.

Capitalists only, swampy.

I'll ask marketing how much I'm allowed to divulge. Nothing M24 on it. It's for people who don't want hernias. But yeah. The lashup prototype has that M24 nut on it.

I didn't want to shoehorn into this thread with a me me me post but it's absolutely relevant so I will. I'm building a rigging device. It's the best thing in this thread by a long way and the best new thing for tree work since the GRCS and the rope wrench. I suggest everyone puts £100 a month in a piggy bank and waits for my signal. If it's shit, you'll have some money for something else. But it won't be and you'll want it.

Balance beam instead. Do you want your child growing up to bum around camp 4 with people who say things like ‘psyche’ and ‘steez’ or at the olympics? Hippy.
-
If that lets a really light piece down where you’d have to fight a rigging wrench, it’ll be handy.

I'm in a band to get goth chicks. On politics, I'm as serious about it as you are in love with the status quo.

They're using Chinese AI to determine risk. Anyone whose premium has dropped is probably actually a total rogue.

Big, strong screws that should support the weight of big-arsed, big-titted Suffolk heifers sat down, listing back and forth breathing heavily in your shop while you try to look somewhere, anywhere else. They're like nails in that they can flex, like a nailed-together house frame moving in the wind. Normal screws are comparatively brittle.
-
If I’m picking up what you’re putting down, perhaps use structural framing screws.

Peace and love, Stubby dude.

The problem with Brexit is that we only got rid of one government. We still have one left.

what is the most favoured top handle saw and climbing gear
AHPP replied to manchester tree services's topic in Chainsaws
It’s bloody useless. Not just weird like someone who’s taken the wrong drugs before a dinner party but often plain wrong. Often enough that you can’t trust it. *I* can’t trust it, that is. The people who make traffic lights and nuclear reactors run are probably all for it. -
And since I’m now thinking about it, three or four APFs ago, I spent quite a bit of time in the tent of a business that made autobrakes like autobelays at climbing walls. I can’t remember what sort of range the weights of pieces had to be in. There must be some clever way of slowing any given weight down the same, like how wind resistance increases not linearly with speed but squared (road cyclists know this). Parafans do it to an extent. You could make one that used a thicker fluid than air.
