Do you care to expand further? Evasive answers aren't really helping your cause.

@frammo I don't think anyone will mind a further derail for you to back up what you're saying. So far all you've claimed is that Spud doesn't "port" saws, so please explain in your opinion what exactly constitutes a "ported" saw. Otherwise all you've done is exactly what this thread is about.

I was just having a little dig at Mick 🤣 Unfortunately he's choosing not to dignify me with an answer
-
But then you had some very argumentative characters. Le Sanglier and Mountain Man to name a couple!!
-
You're pretty confident

Funniest comment I've read in a while.

I think the best chance of that happening would be for yourself and a select few to remove yourself from the forum.
-
Because that would be the behaviour of a secure, rational person. Not that of a serial Internet troll.

More people from non arb related backgrounds than any of those grouped together!

The Chinese are really popular recently.

Not when you're bombing limbs off, but if you're doing that you probably don't need a triangulated system. I'm talking about using it for tippy reductions/deadwoods, where if you drop something into your line it's no big deal
-
I've misjudged it a few times and had to get the ladders up, or drop the last metre or so. I don't bother with a stopper. Occasionally a well meaning groundy will tie one for me when I'm climbing 🙄
-
I don't know about the old days, but from what I understand of the new regs, only one of the systems has to be able to get you down, so if you were working with two lines, or a main line and a backup, only one would have to be long enough to get you down. I could be wrong though, I'm sure Paddy numbers will tell me you.
-
It's got too work for me. Carrying a second line around is impractical and frankly, completely gay. The option is always there for me if I need it, but doesn't get in the way when I'm not using it. Takes less than a minute to pop a second system in.
-
No, only one system needs to be able to reach the floor. By unclipping the tail I'm back to my main system and able to get down
-
With the two extreme options given, I'd say so. But then "occasionally, when I feel it's helpful" is a tediously sensible option to give us. Truth is, I'm using two systems more and more when I'm pruning mature hardwoods etc. I don't faff with two seperate ropes. I've got eyes either end of my line and I carry a spare vt system on my harness. If I reach an awkward bit or feel like it would be helpful I'll bang a second system in and remove it once I no longer need it.

As you're so fond of pointing out, this is a false dichotomy.

Paying off Finance with bounce back loan?

Just cos you couldn't do it. -
Only once is good going. I used to take lads for Gregg's in the morning and come lunchtime they'd tell me they needed a shop!
-
He's joined my ignore list, but when you quote him it comes up and i can't help but read it 🤣

Not slating them mate, it's the game they play now that everyone has a platform.
-
So basically "we'll replace the chipper if you stop telling everybody how terrible we are!" 🤣 Good result

Is he self taught or does he work with other people? Good to see he's learning modern techniques whilst being taught by a dinosaur!

Skyland Equipment have got a pretty comprehensive stock of parts. Good luck understanding any of them though.
