    A big carabiner?

    Wasn't it Adam Bourne he got in?

    I dont get why people are suggesting that you'd take a hit money wise getting another climber in. Even if they charged £200 for two easy days including time spent with you in the tree training you, there'd still be far more profit left on the job than your multiple repeat visits plus trips to arb suppliers buying lots of kit you likely don't need. If you sincerely wanted to learn this would have been your best bet, but you seem adamant to do it yourself (fair enough) but obviously don't believe you have anything you learn from others.

    So you rig one branch, then go down to untie it, climb back up and repeat? Mind you with all that friction you could rope the best part of a tonne out from the tree... Where do I pay?

    @RC0 what do you think? Can I expect a review video?
  6. Joe Newton
    So what advantages does it offer over the safebloc, or natural crotch friction? Doesn't make any sense, you'd need a groundy to untie the piece anyway so let them apply friction. A fool and his money...

    Might be as well, the thread has become a spastic magnet.

    For Christ sake, you fed it. This wasn't where I was trying to steer this conversation.

    Alright mate, calm it down a touch. From my perspective, there's a wealth of knowledge and experience on here, they're generally good guys with a lot to offer. A few of them have tried to contribute, but you've come across like you don't need the help. Enemy for life or not, I'm not bothered. You're a pseudonym on a forum. It won't cost me sleep. If you're local to me however, and genuinely willing to learn, I'd happily make time to go for a climb with you. If you're still pissed off and want to vent, pm me for my number.

    I get that from people now and then. Usually hapless new starters with inflated opinions of themselves, you know, the know it all fuckwits who can't take advice because they can talk about tree work for longer than they've actually done it. I find that if I've got to explain myself then I'm wasting my breath.
  11. Joe Newton
    Probably best for everyone
  12. Joe Newton
    Are your panties the same colour?

    Velocity is great through the zigzag and the wrench
  14. Joe Newton
    Okay hun. Some people are only good at dishing it out. I probably wouldn't recognise you at any trade show to be fair. Wearing thousands worth of shiny shit is the best camouflage you can get.
  15. Joe Newton
    So that's where the rest of the £50k went...
  16. Joe Newton
    You'd think that, but have you tried splicing a locking brummel onto a ring when the other end of the line is not available? If you were just splicing one ring into a bit of hollow braid I'd agree
  17. Joe Newton
    So a 660/440 pair would easily out cut a much larger saw?

    362cm vs 562

    Joe Newton replied to MattyF's topic in Chainsaws

    Fair one Matty, I just feel like the 362 would have you pulling your dreads out on production work. The 60cc echo sounds like it's a proper torquey little thing. Might be worth a look. The stihl one I've used has regular starting issues and I'd rather take the weight of my 441 on a 20" bar than use that.

    362cm vs 562

    Joe Newton replied to MattyF's topic in Chainsaws

    The 362 that I use feels pretty numb in comparison. The anti vibes probably are better but I wouldn't buy one. I'm bias though since my main comparison is a ported 357. Not an option?

    I never joke about cocaine.

    Cheers Mick, ill wager most of them were inadvertent! @Vespasian I was going to get into it further, but you seem to have me dead to rights, and the other blokes seem to have covered the rest. It's oddly flattering that an internet troll has chosen me to focus on out of all the people chiming in.
  23. Joe Newton
    Even though they know better, people will occasionally put 50p in the dickhead to see what happens.
  24. Joe Newton
    Silly me, getting carried away with knots and shit.
  25. Joe Newton
    Or you could just use a suitable bit of rope to tie an anchor ring to the tree?
