    Only just seen this lol, thanks for the vote of convidence mate. All in all I agree with what rupe is saying, and andrew seems competent enough to take it on. I see no point in over complicating things and pricing in big equipment when the job looks simple enough, as for the rigging spread the load around the tree and keep things relatively small and simple and enjoy

    Oh I wouldn't say that dan, I see a mass increase of climbers everyday interested In the whole SRTWP world, and its only a matter of time before it becomes part of an education program. I agree with tony it's a while away and definitely food for though Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yes I'm going to try some amour prus! 8mm you say! Is that because the 10mm won't fit in the dog bone or just personnel preference mate? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Tried the recommended 6 wrap half VT yesterday and if I'm honest I can see why it works best with it, flawless would be one word to describe it, seriously impressed. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Got a call this afternoon whilst working away with James Hoddy and crew from Alex to say she was 6cm dilated but there was nothing to worry about haaaa! Yeah right! Anyway we cracked on and got all the climbing done and I left about half 2 ish, 10 minutes into the journey home Alex rang to say she was going into labour and they were heading down to the hospital. So I headed straight there, only an hour and half drive but made it on time Joshua Daniel Bourne Arrived at 6:14pm Weighing 8lb 4oz That's pretty big to say Alex is so tiny herself, both baby Joshua and Alex are doing really well, I'm home now, with Maisy tucked up in bed and wondering what I'm going to do with all that room in the bed tonight all by myself haaaaa!

    If I'm completely honest mate there so alike in performance, had a nice busy but steady day with it so been able to think about its movements and adjustments quite thoroughly. it is nice not having anything above the hitch, it felt a bit bare at times!!! But not an issue, the ZK2 is and always will be a pet favourite! For now though I'm enjoying the HH very much, lets see which one ill prefer to pick up in a few weeks time Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I'm very impressed with the hitchhiker I really can't fault it, had a go with the Knut hitch today but want to try the half VT so might have a play with that tomorrow I remember how I felt when SRTWP first sunk into my head using the wrench it put a massive smile on my face, well after using the HH today the smile was back Wrench still rules though haaaaa! :sneaky: Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Ok ill start again So Maisy found my new head lamp and decided she wanted to play explorer Mixing old school with new school, blakes hitch with the wrench combo So a few small plane reductions thought I'd give the DMM multi sling a trial on a base anchor Maisy thinking she is a superhero explorer Game of rounders on lunch break, game in 3rd for me... Young matt was on work experience and found his feet with the home made poplar bat we carved out Me as umpire!! safety first Couple of mahoosive conifers big rigging and winching into clear space work a treat Maisy sporting my husky hat Chestnut dismantle, me just boshing out some chunks Spot of cat fish fishing just before tea Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Sorry I'm not with you mate? Do you mean the fact I've tied a Knut and not a half VT? Looking forward to using it, might go for a trial run this afternoon Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk Mobile App
