  1. the friction from a ring onto cord is alot less then rope on rope. when you check your gear everyday you pick up on wear and tear i don't see the problem here . the material is designed to be abrasion resistant and also stupidly strong. if i have missed something please share and maybe name the chords that performed poorly so that others dont use
  2. i will pay the extra dollar just to look :001_cool:
  3. anything strong and abrasion resistant 10 mm armour pruss , beeline ocean poly, grab me one too mate:thumbup1:
  4. great stuff , always enjoy your vids mate .
  5. Im guessing one is setting the chains and then one cutting reg , quite a common practise over these ways.
  6. i think he was meaning that you shouldn't be connecting alloy with steel because of wear issues
  7. :thumbup:put up some pics mate , sounds interesting. what are the mall ions rated to ?
  8. good for pruning and comp climbing. I imagine that the way they price it will be the big selling point , the tm is one of the more expensive harnesses so maybe this will appeal to people wanting one but are being put off by the price but time will tell TM is the best:thumbup:
  9. looks like it doesn't have clips , i definatly prefer them.
  10. Get one bro , so much better then footlocking your tail. one of the must haves in any climbers kit imo.
  11. good on ya mate , thats not to far away from me , im based in mannheim. you wont regret it I'm sure . all the best
  12. If you're young fit and wanting to learn the ins and outs of the industry then footlocking is a very great skill to have , i dont want to get my rope walker out for a 12 meter ascent. Secured footlocking has its place and our whole job is hard on the body. I am no king footlocker but once you get the technique down its very useful. i throw lines in for most of my trees. 8-15 meters i will foot lock, and anything more, the rope walker (sometimes less if my body is feeling lazy) I have worked with guys back in nz that dont footlock because they cant be bothered and i suspect because its difficult and physically hard when you start learning. the message i am trying to get across is directed at new arbs who are starting to get into climbing and looking for new things to learn and reading through these threads and being put off by the negativity towards it . Learn how to foot lock !!!!! its a great skill and makes life easier , its also a great challenge . OK guys Rant over
  13. now that is a great stunt fell
  14. 10 mm op on tach 3 wraps and four braids
  15. its good practise to isolate limbs mate:thumbup1: it would be pretty rough footlocking over ten metres on a single line id say . how ever much more spent isolating is and investment into your skills. if you can do it on a single line and it works for you mate , go ahead , just be mindful of base tying esp if its your working line with a bit more strech all the bouncing with twice the weight is something to be mindful of:biggrin:
  16. i never let it hit the ground mate , a nicely place limb usually does the trick and then a rake
  17. Hard retrieval ? that sounds pretty bad for any equipment . cocoon 3 and 4 are really nice and a have a more robust feel then the 2. I prefer the cocoon as it is more streamlined ,of course its about placement of friction device but I'm a fan over the link and i have tried both.
  18. good call mate Wollemia i change my answer
  19. no 9 Araucaria bidwillii??????
  20. no 8 Abies nordmanniana ?
  21. both designed for ddrt mate.
  22. Aesculus Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  23. Couple of reductions , no before of the aseculus unfortunately lireo was a nice climb Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. Some pretty staunch climbing and felling. maybe a little to close to the wires haha but very impressive none the less.
  25. wouldn't surprise me if he got new everything not one bit
