Got loads of it mate, and I'm lazy!

Thank you Paul. As it happens I hated it. Using the neck bungee instead. It's going begging if anyone wants it. Might be a tad small for you mind
-
I love that trick. No more setting pull lines of pushing blocks over. It's a satisfying feeling watching it topple over on it's own. "I just made that stem my bitch".

I'll usually cut and chuck when the groundies are up against it. Keeps them free. Then again I took down a medium ash tree last week in a clear front garden with 3 lads on deck. Could've crashed the lot down but opted to rig whole limbs down so the lads weren't picking up shattered bits of twig all day.

I hate watching Jesse use a throwline. It's just a reminder of how much of a failure I am. Nice vid dude. Some excellent climbs. Sod ddrt on those!

We used to use it for light rigging. Tough rope!

I looked at mine. I'm presuming you're thinking of removing the CAT? I figured a slit disc to open it, braise it shut. That said, I "lost" the spark screen and it's retaining screw, and it's almost abnormally loud already. You know about it if you're not wearing earmuffs. It's alien for me to say, but I don't know if it needs more power!

I picked up and used a 150t today, for the first time in two weeks since I've had the echo. Never thought I'd think of the 150 as heavy, bulky and slow beforehand!

When people started buying cars our horse riding skills were vastly reduced... Don't see many people looking back though.

The main thing that puts it ahead of the pulleysaver for me is that the cam releases making retrieval easier.

It's not exactly news that using a frictionless anchor increases wear on the hitch cord. A pulley at the top doesn't remove friction from the system, more displaces it from the anchor point to the hitch (it has nowhere else to go). Sure, your hitch cord will wear quicker (unless you use a tough cord like AP) but your rope will likely last longer, never mind your body! Also I wouldn't have been that happy about my anchor point in that tree!
-
If the rope is staying in the tree it will be equally at risk wether it goes through a nibble proof anchor or not...
-
Just leave a throwline or good length of 3 strand in to pull your line through the next day.

Even the 395 has a max stated bar length of 28"

I ziplined a squirrel out of a conifer today. No pics sadly.

17.50 for 1 x15g pack I keep one on my saddle with an Israeli bandage

Steady on, Meatloaf... -
Save transport costs by burning on site. Always happy to help mate!

I didn't think anything was worth a fortune to wood turners...
-
They're growing like weeds over there! Good work, how you finding subbing instead of running a firm?
-
That's my worry, it could be a£200 a month habit! At the moment I'm taking 80g tins of tuna infused with flavoured oils for lunch at £1 each.
-
I was just doing the maths on how many £50 packs would see me through a month of lunches!

I'd love to try venison jerky but it's a little deer...

Hitchclimber and wrench...
