Haha! Very good dig mate. For a moment there I only thought you where being half serious My little josh has an obsession with you, he stands there looking at the iPad shouting WEG WEG WEG!! haha! Maybe I should grow my hair!!
-
I'd say because it cut his cutting time down and one saw did the job instead of sending one down and getting another sent up mate Lol this made me chuckle haaa!

Depends what killed it mate. I think if it was and I did decide to use that method then it would have been the case of going a lot smaller. Who's knows. I dare say a method would have been thought up appropriately. And accordingly to suit.

Thanks bro Haaa! Yes works well when they know how to work it that way mate Cheers nick, good luck with your job. Gets some photos or video up if you can mate

Very funny I see good stuff mate It helps when limbs are a fair distance from the zip lines main Anchor. if I had done it without then with the slack in the system at that height it would of just ploughed into stuff I didn't want it to. Or it would have been close! Not worth the risk though

Thanks what was it you learnt? John just took a couple of wraps around the base of another tree, he put the tension in that was required by hand! There was really no need to complicate things with anything else in the system

Cheers dude

£100 pound tip of a contractor last week David Great thread mate

This was the second tree on the chestnut site I mentioned in the other video. Unfortunately on watching the footage back there's a fair bit missing, including the wood and a few branches. I'm sure there about somewhere. If I find them I'll take the video down and redo it from scratch. Anyway I wanted to keep this nice and simple for john on the floor. There was a few expensive ornaments that conventional rigging would have just made it hard work for john and there really wasn't no decent redirects. Also a nice slope stopped us from dropping anything due to the greenhouse and retaining wall below. So don't forget to adjust to HD and enjoy

Cheers Tim subscribed mate

Cool video tim. Only ever used a skyline once. It seems round here that when you need one there's never nothing near by to do it to!! Then when you don't need it there's loads of options Good stuff mate. What's your YouTube channel name? Your videos just play on the arbtalk site

I do have a set of these bug eyes however which are ok. Only used them a hand full of times so couldn't give you a solid review about them.

Try giving Barry at skyland a call, they do a set called pyramex highlanders. Cheap and very robust, take a few months before they start steaming up. Very impressed with them I was defiantly have another pair. http://www.skylandequipment.com/pyramex-highlander.html

Well we will see my old Friend I have had my falthemer cube a good few years! Just got back from Norfolk today and treated myself to a new Stein throw line and cube!! All spliced up ready to rock -
Haha! They are dangerous when you think in terms of gaff out/slip and under your ribs!!! Ouch! Besides that yeah getting branches hung on them what ever your doing free falling rigging ect.

Thanks buddy

You won't go far wrong with the 150 mate. I abuse mine which is a shame but I just don't have need for a bigger top handle now. Anything thing that I think the 150 will even remotely struggle with then I just use the 346 Thanks Cheers mate. Me and Dan Curtis had a chuckle at your spike remark. ( not on your behalf mind ) but we where saying its surprising how many are not confident on spikes. I should be after nearly 18 years lol
-
Thanks guys
-
Thanks James. Yes just pantin, anything else would of been a mare as the line was a bit like a race track!! Lol saws where sharpened on Sunday
-
What's wrong with you lot haaaa! Next you'll be going for manicures at lunch lol. Y'all need to harden the ....... Up!! Haha! Nice work mate.
-
It does I'm afraid mate. The forces on the cord passing through the eyes of the pinto alone would squeeze the side plates together!! Not good
-
Haha! Cheers mate, he does look at some stuff funny. At one point I actually got the feeling he was thinking "are you going to get on with it instead of faffing around with your stiffy!!" Haha. Thanks. 3 saws where used mate. 150tc 346xpg 18" bar and 372xp 24" bar
