hi there, is there anyone that would be able to take over from me in Shannon, co. clare? its for a few weeks full time then a few days a week after that, if anyone needs the work its there, the lads are sound, I just started back after I had an accident a few months ago and I cant shake it off, my head just isn't right in the tree anymore so was hoping someone could dig us out.. call nev on 0857305645 cheers

can someone point me in the direction of this video? cant seem to find this other thread either!
-
Does anyone know a good way to make a retrievable redirect with one of those isc re-direct pulleys? I have one and tried to figure out a way of using it for a bit but gave up and just went back to a biner!
-
I have a husky bar, its perfect for it in the tree, i find it grand for hammering in wedges, i know a lad though that welded a bit extra on the back to help a bit, but i have no problem with it as standard:)
-
treemotion wins hands down for me, the comfort from the back support is unreal, if your man bits are getting squashed you can adjust it so they aren't being squashed! i used to work with a lad that had a weever harness, used to wear it from time to time, used to always think why the f*ck did i put this feckin thing on! .. only thing is it takes a while to get it set up just right:)
-
No swivel bud, just the rings on my bridge, my workmate had trouble with his swivel causing twisting alright, between his swivel and his pulley saver there just seemed to appear all these knots!
-
Thanks for all the replies lads, been using a small vt on 8mm beeline, I'll switch back to a knut today, should hopefully help it a bit, and I'll continue to milk the s**t outta it!!:)
-
running it through a multi saver, ring to ring jobbie, what were you using before/after? i'm thinking of getting a rope guide soon:)
-
its awesome rope, jsut havin a ball ache getting the twists out of it but thats on a doubled rope, probably not such an issue on single line...tried my hitch hiker on it a couple of weeks ago and it worked like a dream:)
-
i would say bud that you took just the right amount off, think you should take as little as you can get away with off a beech, don't like being hit hard the ol' beech's:)
-
hi there lads and lasses, anyone here have cougar blue rope? i just got some from treestuff i've been using the last 2 weeks, its brilliant, never thought there could be such a difference in a rope:) but its really twisty, like really really twisty! i've never seen a rope this twisty kinda twisty! anyone found the same? i've been milking it after every tree and milked it a few times this evening then left it in a tree at full stretch to try see if i can get the twisty memory out of it, anyone else got any suggestions? its that bad that when decending it gets stuck in my hitch and has been a total PITA to undo sometimes!,, am i just gonna have to keep goin till i get her straight?!

Teufelberger ce lanyard any does any one use them
nifty replied to sean1212's topic in Climbers talk
I had a 7m one that got stolen, i loved it but wouldn't get one again, never used the thimble, i have 7m of velocity now with a positioner which is fantastic, i havea small hip bag for the tail, the only thing i miss is having a splice, fishermans knot gets stuck sometimes pulling through, ball ache! -
Works lovely on a double rope, i used to have a croll with a prusic made into a footloop at knee height, a piece of elastic off my treemotion clipped on above my splice using a tibloc, if you have the stuff already its really straightforward to put together and works the finest:)
-
lookin forward to seeing it tommy:) i should probably pull the finger out and have another crack at it myself!
-
Not to derailq too much but on along the same lines has anyone else made a stiff leg tether like the one timberwolf 190 made? I had a go at making one with a croll but was too bulky, really like the idea of having something you could wear on the other leg that you wouldn't notice whilst moving round like the way you hardly notice the pantin:)
-
might be a bit obvious, but always feed the line back into your cube, putting it on the ground just ends up in a mess twigs and **** getting it all bunched up! took me a while to get in the habit of doing it though! i have a falteimer and a stein ( pure shite! ) cube, i think about 6 or so bags of various sizes have some cheap elderid line maybe, cant remember had it for a bit! for double bagging, i always attach an extra bag or 2 on just to make sure it will drop back down, can be awful frustrating sometimes! i love the throwline, guilty of using it sometimes even on small trees where i could easily run up and have my anchor in by the time it would take me to open the throwcube!!

make up a stew/curry and heat it up in my jet boil, provokes alot of jealousy!

had my first play with the hh in months yesterday, been on spikes non stop since december, i played about with the knot a bit and set up a 5 wrap knut using ocean polyester just to see what it was like compared to the hh knot they recommend, and wow what a difference! it was so sweet, just beautiful to use, never quite got on with the other 7 wrap vt one, the knut i suppose was more intuitive to me as i've climbed on it for a couple of years, the other thing was i had a blast on my mates cougar blue rope, and loved it so much as soon as i got home got on to treestuff and ordered 45m legnth of it!! hopefully alot more work coming up that will inolve moving around a canopy as opposed to jsut sec felling straight sticks so i can get to grips with the hh again :thumbup:
-
hey drew, should i be using a steel crab for the pinto set up? i'm still only fresh to srt, had started playing with it but now on a contract that has me on spikes all day long! the one thing i was trying to figure out was how to choke my top tip having ascended on a base tie, the pinto set up looks perfect:)
-
I'd love to post one but i only have this windows phone which ain't compatible with anything computer related it seems!
-
I've found o.p. works well for vt knots, i have short vt's on my lanyard and wire core, works a charm:) i have some blue and white cord for my main line that i got off a company i used to work for, dunno what its called and haven't seen it for sale but i love it and I'm running out! Anyone any ideas, think someone told me before it might be made by Samson but like say haven't seen it anywhere
-
Sirus burns out so quick I'm shocked it made it to.production stage let alone been sold to people who's lives depend on it if they choose to use it!
-
Cheers bud, does it behave similar to what its like on a lanyard? I just can't picture how well it works as i thought it worked off putting a kink in the rope, so just thought it mightn't be great at grabbing the wirecore?
-
Evenin all:) anyone use art positioer on flip line? If so what's it like? I saw in a video they say they make a separate cam to use on steelcore, doin alot of spiking and have used the positioner before and loved it, would like to be able to use it on my flipline if its any use:) cheers n
