Yale Double Esterlon 16mm for me. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app

Ive got mine on the 26th and 27th of Feb one day training second day assessment, for the money it would be silly not to get it to cover yourself just in-case something did happen to go wrong.
-
Well I never knew that. Sent from my SM-T210 using Arbtalk mobile app
-
I fixed the old one so will stick with it on that case.

Cheers are they the manufacturers?

Na had it a few years, but they shouldn't break apart like. specially when Im half way through a job. If I knocked it with a big lump I wouldn't worry and buy another. Just annoyed and having a rant as it slowed the job up and I hit my finger with the hammer trying to fix it to finish the job.
-
I was hoping stein would replace it, as it shouldn't happen.
-
Has anybody else had this problem? Come down from the tree at ten for a cuppa and to move the bollard to the other side of the tree and as I released the ratchet the handle fell apart! Hadn't knocked it, it wasn't bent. As you can see in the pics the metal pins that get knocked over to stop it pulling apart weren't tapped over enough causing it to pull apart. Ive reassembled it now and burred them over with hammer and chisel to stop them pulling through.

I did give them a free xmas tree tho.

They want the firewood down to six inches and cut in to 3ft 6" lengths and stacked at the farm next door to dry:rolleyes:. Plus they all have to be sectioned felled. Would make my life also easier if I could do it your way though.

Fair play to you guys got alot of respect for the older guys that still climb and enjoy it. Hope im still going strong into my 60's as climbing kit has evolved so much with srt, friction savers etc we really dont have the excuse not to.

Better still get her to help she wont notice the noise if she's getting involved

Climbed them Ian, climb up set anchor point strip tree swing over to next and strip it then put anchor in that tree and keep repeating.

Had 5 full loads of chip from just the one side. Going to be a fair bit more on the road side as its had all the light so all grown out over the road plus the tops. Luckily its all being tipped at the farm next door

Second day on this line of conifers, stripped the inside off them, and sectioned down around 8 off them. The rest will be removed in a few weeks when we have the lane closed got traffic lights for a week.
