  1. I'd be proud of that.
  2. My colleague won't use my saws because he doesn't like the smell of redline. I love it. Reminds me of stock car races. Opie Oils sell it too (in weird sized bottles).
  3. Remember that those are Americans in the picture, for scale. The trunk is probably about 14m dbh Nice tree Ben, didn't fancy thrusting up on a blakes?
  4. Funny. I've always defended it when using it ddrt. With a bit of technique refinements it was okay. On SRT however it's total wank. Petzl don't seem to be so hot recently.
  5. Nice one Tim. I've ordered some Velcro to try and do mine but it's being shipped from Neptune or somewhere. I'll get the drill out!
  6. Any examples
  7. You don't tie it off to your knob!
  8. I think you're talking about a different device to everyone else mate
  9. It's obvious Jon. They work got your competition.
  10. Why are they? Because they do a thankless job? Imagine how built up areas would be without parking restrictions.
  11. So you parked on yellow lines for an hour and a half and got a ticket, basically? How bloody dare they?!
  12. Inonotis on ash I'm guessing.
  13. Fair enough, i couldn't be bothered with threading the tail of my line though Any reason you don't like the pinto?
  14. Looks nice, Paul, but a pinto is midline attachable.
  15. Most people can reach around 8' anyway!
  16. That's why they had to come down.
  17. There's a 4 way crab available...
  18. Sure they do, for me. The VT is a pretty sporty knot. It's self tends well, and is responsive. It just doesn't always bite, which can be worrying if you're new to the system. I guess it depends on how many wraps/braids you put on. A distel or Knut bites more reliably, making it more suitable to people getting used to the system. Doesn't always self tend as well as the VT though. Forget the o-rig. Get a pantin instead.
  19. For £500 he could choke me with the seatbelt! Wouldn't be the first time I've pleasures myself on a bus.
  20. Why pointless? It's a discussion.
  21. At a guess: hungover and left his spikes at home.
  22. Don't her balls tickle your chin? The tape sling thing wasn't tight enough round my chest. Then again I don't have tits like yours.
  23. I don't know how long you've been climbing, or using a hitch climber, but I'd say it was best not to jump straight to a VT. Try a Knut or Distel hitch first. More reliable.
