Thanks for all the links guys and especially treequip for the very generous offer, but i really like the look of the patriot ones . My 90 is black with the silver ally chequer plating so think that'll look awesome

Hi guys , Where do i get a 90 roof rack with open ended front if that makes sense . The reason being i'd like the nomadic trimming stick and the pole pruners to lie flat on the bottom and secured well . Need to get this sorted asap so thanks for any info .

Hmmm , is that the toys'r'us one ?

Weve got a challenger for Woodeds avatar challenge !!

Watch you dont let them drink out of stagnant or especially algae infested ditches and the like .. Sounds if they have injested a toxin but the vet knows best

Simple Fir removal shot from some different angles

Was really no need to justify this to anyone on here but a polite and considered response none the less . -
Scottish conker championships had to be cancelled a few weeks ago in the borders .. no conkers

This is the thing .. in search for the holy grail of frictionless climbing i think people are losing the sight of the fact that this comes at a price . Mechanical devices , metal to metal contact will fail eventually . I believe if you are going down this route you have to be so so vigilant in checking your gear . Alot of these devices are super light alloys which although statically very strong are just not as strong as heavier steel . and hence metal fatigue must happen sooner rather than later . How many on here crash there little pulley savers out of a tree ? Are they retrieved properly and with care each time ? Do you even know how its done ?
-
Cool video that and quite rare ... I'll tell you why , it has amazed me how many dont actually show the whole topping out cut
-
Do subbie climbers pay for breakages ?? Do they have their own pli for these scenarios ? Maybe some on here can tell us . I agree .. would find it difficult if not impossible to hire an obnoxious individual regardless of his financial benefits
-
There's another slant to this . What if the subbie is making you a ton of money but then stings you for a full day rate because of a cancellation . Do you put your morals to the side for a bit ?? Business is business , were not in this to make friends ?

What can he do chained to traffic lights !!

I dont see anything wrong in a young up and coming subbie climber protecting his interests with some t&c's and enforcing it in appropriate circumstances . We are all decent folks on here but know fine well this industry is rife with genuine undesirables .
-
Yep , i would say thats fair .. Suppose its these situations you find out the real person
-
Where is the line drawn though ??
-
Get a 365xp .. they are very rare , infact i think there may be only one ? Sorry mate having a bit of a joke , 390xp for me 24" plus
-
I'm not a subbie climber so this is unbias. What if its the car not starting one day , weather the next , personal circumstances the day after ? . Where does that leave the climber ? TBH t&c's clearly written out smaks of professionalism to me not some sort of chancer .
-
Its all about realising and understanding what you have got from the outset . I spoke to Andrew at length on this on the misfits forum Remember , Beagles are bred to catch their prey by running them to exhaustion ( this may take all day ) so thats an incling into what may lie ahead . Physical and mental stimulation the most important ingredients for a contented animal imo . I'm so bloody jealous it hurts
-
Thats some beast of a truck.. Does it just scissor up and down though? Been using one all last week and found that reach is just as if not more important than height . You guys are the experts though
-
Yep , only sensible solution
-
HAHAHA !! all of the above ... Crikey wait a minute dont have kids !!

What place does a petzl GriGri have in a climbing kit
born2trot replied to Arran Turner's topic in Climbers talk
I tried it in a RADS srt system and although i hate the rads the gri gri was ok . The little plastic handle you pull down to descend took too much force to release under tension ( which is quite considerable in srt) imo . Should be able to feed it much smoother . The gri gri remains sprung open under load which is not good for treework situations and therefor i believe the more expensive Rig or I'd is better ( some of the climber dudes on here would be better explaining this ) I much prefer a simple fig8 but will keep the gri gri for aerial rescue . ( Base anchor as already been mentioned ) There was a guy on here David Goss who swore by them when chogging down stems so each to there own and all that . -
Yep , time to get off the blakes and go frictionless , cant wait to try out , just need a response from seller now

Morning Silky , This is the situation ... I ordered the roka along with the HC set up believing the roka would be more robust and retrievable for the type of work i generally do . The order arrived last week , but they have double processed the order . So i received 2 packages , one with hc and roka , one with hc and STANDARD edelrid cambium saver ( i have only paid for the roka package) . I e-mailed them a few days ago highlighting the error , also adding that i would like to exchange the roka for a pulley saver . . I have heard nothing back so i've got a hc package (10mm op one) and cambium saver for nothing . I think i like the look of the rope guide better personally but its very expensive ! Items are still in the wrapper .

I've had much better results going to a chiropracter rather than physio
