  2. Gekos again, their just dreamy! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  3. Poison hivy for me, find it self tends pretty well, forgot my gloves a few times an its never been bad on my hands, super light, looks quite cool too, it's apparently 11.7 but I held it next to tachyon and it seemed slimmer! Gonna keep my eyes on this thread though as in after a short rope and want to try something different see how they compare! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  4. Don't let it tick over then! Wish I'd known that before I did! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  5. I know it says cut the bar length for 5 mins or something like that but I didn't like the idea of it going straight from unused to revving its balls off, in logging up the firewood I did cut the bar length repeatedly just incase but my understanding of the auto tune is that it retunes itself on a regular basis depending on temperature and air pressure so it's always perfectly tuned for the environment your working in so it shouldn't matter to much how it's tuned itself in the past, either way its come good now it's my favourite saw!

  6. I put a tank of fuel through mine just letting it tick over, tank through with my finger on the throttle going at half revs then I just logged up some fire wood with it for a while, I found a first it was a bit temperamental cutting out after I'd finished cutting and hard to restart but after I used it abit more its got better and better, now it runs perfect! I'd say start it and let it tick over for abit before you start cutting, apparently that's good for the auto tune! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. Ddrt for me, I use a pulley saver too and poisen hivy 11.7, I'd say if you've got the money invest! It makes climbing lovely!!! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. My spider jack arrived yesterday took in straight to work on a poplar dismantle, it's the bee's knees, self tending is ace, descending at silly speeds is ace, you can climb one handed which is handy of your Just nipping out to tip tie something! I found it pretty simple to get to grips with just don't think about it and its just like a hitch climber! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. That's true but it's better to go looking for the work than wait till your collage hooks you up Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. Go to collage, is only 3 days a week, then work the other 2 days, you'll have to start off working for nothing for experience, after time they will start to pay you as you become useful/qualified! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. If you haven't been to collage already I think you can get onto a collage course for practically nothing and have the bills covered by grants/government funding, you get a few cs units as part of your course as well as a well rounded understanding of arb;) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  12. Girl I'm seeking works in a sex shop, local tramp likes to knock one out on the wall outside of an evening! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  15. skafells go well with geko's, ive got velcro top and bottom, the skafells have a lip on them that the back strap sits over nice and snug:)
  16. this happened to a lad i was working with last week, are yours the new blue ones? it was pretty cold for us so that may be something to do with it!
  17. just booked in for my sleeve this morning! my first tattoo!
  18. hellooo! i was just wondering if the stein retractable visor(the one that makes you look like judge dredd) meets both the standards required for a visor and for safety goggles? i hope that makes sense! cheers Ed
  19. does any one know how to identify which helmet i have? i need a new visor and want to know if the star wars one will fit!
  20. not 100% but i dont think a srt harness will be good for someone climbing drt.
  21. alright shaun! im living back on the wirral again now, but ive been down in bristol for 3 months working as a trainee climber but had to be let go as the business was to quiet to keep me on. how you doing these days? still in tree work or are you in police yet? ed x

  22. ive seen a guy who had corks on his, he also put that shrinky plastic tubing stuff they use to mark ropes for loler, put that over the cork and over the gaff then shrunk it so its super tight on the gaff and the cork, it works really well too!
