I use mine almost everyday. descending on a access line and also below my vt when I'm finished working and exiting the tree . A very simple and effective tool.

Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
colemanjessenz replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
no before pics unfortunately but in the second pic you can see the difference between our two styles . There was a reason to leave the bottom righthand leaders longer but for a matter of discussion i would like criticism on what you lads see and think, thanks guys . (Background info ) customer wanted a 20% reduction off the juglans and also wanted a heavy lift of the sheds -

a 20% reduction from the other day . 2 climbers , jivo and i . we had a helping hand at the end of the day to clean up , just over 15 cube removed.

Very cool ttm. I have never seen one like that . Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Completely opposite for me , I have both a spliced and a saliced tach , I think the salice is much easier to put through the cocoon . Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I climb in the sip progress, the new ones have a waterproof smartphone pocket which is really nice as you don't have to worry about your iPhone getting sweaty . The other guys at my work have planner globes but I think the sips are better. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

salice works perfectly through my rope guide and i also recommend tachyon, very nice rope.

the rope guide is much better in nearly all aspects , retrievability ,trapeze , adjusting ...but i can find much difference in the pulleys . ropeguide for the win:thumbup1:

Are you comfortable with your sexuality...

I think its a great cause , not only woman get breast cancer guys. -
I see what you mean mark , i use power static for access every day and although i have a rhythm with the bounce when using srt , the rubberband effect is less then desirable esp for foot locking. it seems that the op is after a super low stretch static line for foot locking, in which globe is ideal. static rope to me is a rope with little to no stretch eg torpedo,globe,arbocup,runner,apruss etc. I do see what you are saying though mark although i would argue that a majority of "static" lines are kernmantle and have very different properties to our arb specific ropes Please excuse the grammer it has never been a strong point

Super static ? Did you make that up ? Surely if it has no stretch its static. A lot of lines claim to be static when they aren't The lines we climb on are semi static . The c e lock comes with a dynamic footlock sling as a shock absorber ,a good point though. if you are using it for srt access would be good to have some sort of shock absorber in there Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

summers on its way, coolest clothing?
colemanjessenz replied to plank_pusher's topic in General chat
Type cs ...... Bro it doesn't matter what you get you will sweat hard regardless in them. Get the new gladiators if you do ground cutting and bush whacking along with climbing or If its just climbing I'd get the arborist ventilation . Type cs in a hot climate will warm you up way to much IMO. Are u in auz or Nz ? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
i use 10mm on my tach. i recommend getting some cord and cutting it when you find the right length and knot you want to use . i have a vt with 3 wraps and 4 braids its quite long but it grips reliably and works exactly how i want it. problem with eye to eyes is that you cant fine tune your setup.
-
Globes real nice . I would say that using for work positioning would be less then ideal as its quite static . But for access and foot locking its a goodie . A few of the lads on here use the kern master for srtwp. A good multi purpose rope that stretches under heavy loads . Unsure of how bouncy it is but apparently it's good. Static lines have less stretch ao in case of a fall it can put huge forces on your body coming to a comple static stop where as the semi static rope we use for climbing have a little more stretch and provide a more dynamic arrest to the fall . In saying this though, our ropes we use are not designed for fall arrest so climbing above your anchor you "shouldn't" do . Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

i heard his teacher was an actual monkey, the man can climb.

The austria is a great climbing and pruning harness . I never got on with the skylotec personally but if your swinging a big saw around it'll be better for that

get a mac mate.

tidy bro , was that very hard to do and how does the art cam run over the ocean when locking and retrieving ?
-
super rough day at the office today guys , had the 88 out for a fell ,followed then by a weight reduction off this lovely oak. it was back to the yard by twelve for a beer........ (its germany so its beer time all the time)
-
the knot looks more like a distel from here mate , regardless , i would say if your in a transition period bro defiantly shorten that hitch up a bit it will make it feel more safe and give you the desired grip your after. flag the prussic bro , sure its a great knot and a lot of us learnt on it but.... there is so much more freedom in other knots and setups which ultimately will make you a lot faster when moving around the crown.

I think he's joking guys.
