    pull through the amount of rope you need to get where you are going on the other side of the fork before going through it, simples:001_smile:
  3. David Goss
    I use it on my right because thats the side the tail of my rope is on. I will say though be careful because with the pantin pulling down sometimes the SJ doesnt bight and you can give yourself a heart attack if your not expecting it when you sit back in your harness.

    I had a feeling you were going to pee on my parade:lol: You must have better eyesight than me if you can see whats going on with the oak, maybe i am just tired after a grueling shift and see things a bit fuzzy:001_rolleyes:

    the beech looks like a classic compression fork crack just outlived its time and came off, possibly weakened by kids sitting on it:sneaky2: the oak i cant see well enough to comment on the picture. Thats my 2 bobs worth anyway

    Nice video mate:thumbup: Why did you rig it if there was no targets? was it just to get the video?
  9. David Goss
    You cant just walk up the rope though with 2 pantins because one wont pass the other on the rope. You would have to flick them off the rope every step and then put them back above the other.

    I did a lot of planes while in Rome but i never had any bother with the leaves (never noticed any hairs on them, Maybe a different species) The seed pods on the other hand are a nightmare and if your crashing big limbs to the ground, then the pods have a tendency to explode (slight exaggeration, lets just say burst) and throw the hairs everywhere. Not so bad if your in the tree but for the groundies its not nice. They are ok when green but when brown and dry they are horrible:thumbdown:

    Yep the pantin works a treat:thumbup:

    dont know about heated top handles but if you deliberately use a silky for your first few cuts that fair heats you up on a cold morning:thumbup1:

    ms880 and fell from a distance

    Cracking stunt fell:thumbup1: Personally i wouldnt have taken the risk but probably, like has been said before, if it was cones either side of the fell i would have dropped it in no problems but when a slight mistake can mean big damages then best to rig it and be sure every time. Hats off to the lad for having the balls to do it though:thumbup:
  19. David Goss
    maybe you have more door knockers where you are now...
  20. David Goss
    That sounds like a perfectly good reason for why top handle saw chains snap more, because they are always much older and used than ground saws due to less need for sharpening.

    Nail on the head mate:thumbup1: As for the old lady i think thats shocking. Poor old lass doesnt deserve to go to jail, in fact she deserves a medal for standing up for herself and her trees. As for the journalism well i think its been said already it sucketh big time:thumbdown:
  22. David Goss
    thats a cracker
  23. David Goss
    I have had quite a few chains snap over the years and it always seems to be while cutting small stuff or brashing etc when your going hard at it. Had 1 whip off and land on my shoulder once from a 200t that got nipped by a small branch and once had one slap me on the knee from a husky 365 but never had any damage from it happening. Mostly they just fall off the end of the bar or hang off the chain catcher.

    Cool As long as you dont need to grind any stumps out you will be fine Hope you get plenty work
  25. David Goss
