Yep , I get it to ..

Didn't know that , cool ...

Nice photo , good to see something a bit different

An American lad did just that at our firm last week , he got a start and the company is going to sort out his visa to .. I want to go to Canada preferably with a sponsorship but if not I'll be going anyway ..

If your that keen why don't you just come over to the country you want and chap some doors ( which of course you have already googled ) you get 90 days here to find work , ample time ? PS . Be ready to get going , bring your harness , will impress employers ..

Yes I would think you would need to downsize the split tail to . Don't think it would feel right at all though ...

Was at the Glenfiddich distillery fairly recently , this could be yours for a mere £20,000

1 in 3 people will have a mental health issue at some point in their life . You are definitely not alone !

I don't think it's feasible for any commercial climber to use them out here , maybe a simple matter of working with no groundies a lot , different tree characteristics , amount of trees climbed per day etc none the less stopper knots get jammed in crotches and you can't pull your line through , very simple ...
-
Yes your right the only sure way would have been as you mentioned , was only a guesstimate ..was way short though
-
Each to their own , normally you would just re-anchor ..
-
Far far too frustrating getting caught up all the time , tried and total waste of time . Never seen them used and for good reason ( on main line ) NOT side strop !!
-
don't get me started on stopper knots though
-
20 years climbing what ? Back door birches ? Cherries ? I don't know . Yes I fly down sas style , glaze all my hitch chord and burn my hands at the same time , what a laugh this climbing game is ..
-
A lot of people on here don't know what it's like commercial climbing every day though ..

Was close to coming off the end of my rope couple months back . Using my colleagues rope , identical to mine but he had shortened it . I shouted down if I had enough length to make it down , he said yes . Whilst descending I just happened to look over my shoulder for some reason and noticed I had about 12 inches left on the tail . Would have been very very serious outcome !!
-
Yes , same here ...
-
Haven't built a sled but if you can get a hold of the 'heavy horse manual' it shows you the linkage used to attach the shafts to the sled , just a short chain link connection that let's the sled ride into the back of the shafts when the horse stops , sort of Indian style I believe

Heard on the radio there New York to get their worst snow storm ever !! Baton down the hatches lads ...
-
They are just quicker in some instances and make life easier NOT safer imo ..I personally am not comfortable in them . Big trees with large crowns no high anchor they are a godsend for most climbers I would think .
-
I'm sure what the company are doing is highly illegal and by giving the employees a disciplinary hearing trying to instill a fear factor but in actual fact digging a bigger hole for themselves . As some of the lads said do a bit of HSE homework , stand up to them and they will fold like a deck of cards when they realise you are no idiots !!
-
Relying on good groundsmen also when swinging a big limb like that towards you , limb MUST be dropped . Sweet ..

One of the easiest jobs in tree surgery . That or a 35m poplar removal take your pick ??? Getting of walls , old buildings that's another matter
-
Bombs away !!
-
Ivy removal doesn't take long even horrific ones . Might be a tree worth keeping I don't know :-)
