I don't think it's too much to expect a personal notification when £300+ worth of new kit has been recalled for safety reasons. I've no problem with Echo but it sounds like the blokes dealer is a bit lax.

Stop being a bitch! That's JQ style attention seeking bud
-
Mine neither
-
Ladders. Saves cocking about with the big shot on most trees
-
Fair does, I'll send you out on your tod to do a £600 job
-
Bit cheap bud when a climber can get that with climbing kit and a topper. Not that I'd be complaining. I can think of a few that would probably use you.
-
Returning in from the limb
-
No Eggs, I reckon I might be with you on that.
-
What would you know gramps? It was a genuine question though. I'm not 100% sold on SRT. Some jobs I reckon it makes life harder for me.
-
Why? In that situation SRT offers no advantage to me. No available redirects, just makes the return a pain in the neck.
-
Give it a try.
-
Are you objecting to it?
-
do not mock the fallen!

I tend to bitch and moan about whatever injury is affecting me. It works. Also keep making a note to go to the physio but keep putting it off. They seem to go away in their own time. Then again I'm only fifteen.

You could put the bottom of the tether on the top of the zz using a small d shackle so you'd still have a attachment point?
-
Looks decent enough. Where did your Mrs order it from?
-
How much was it? To be honest it'll pay for itself no matter what.
-
Where'd you get that from Peter? What cut do you use, and what marinade?
-
Do people really have a problem confusing steel rigging crabs for ally climbing ones?
-
90% of our rigging can be done with a swing cheek pulley, 12mm line and capstan. £250 The big stuff doesn't come out that often. A light setup like that is seriously tough (if you have decent ground lads) and will handle anything but big stem rigging.

Buy a deciduous forest

He probably didn't imagine a bunch of hairy arsed wood cutters would be such a bunch of delicate wee petals...
-
The lads getting a bit of stick for no reason. What a friendly welcome! Back off gents.
-
Like I said, I reckon both have their merits. If you'd had a little topper you could have just refuelled it! I'll definitely be getting one (probably the Stihl). It'll be interesting to see which one gets used more.

Off the top of my head: big conny stripping, multiple small tree dismantles, pollards, re pollards. I recently did a huge lapsed Pop pollard. 30yrs re growth, 14" dia cuts. All had to be cut small or rigged over targets, lines, road etc. took 2+ days. Can't see a battery lasting a full day like that. Edit: and "testing my elbow" should have read "twatting my elbow"
