  1. as above statements about cambuim friction/saver, you defo need one full stop. not everyone going to agree with the next bit: firstly if you can climb anything, and know your rope, friction hitches and the amount of sap plus weather conditions. You can redo you knots to compensate, the last scots pine I worked on, I only had one wrap on my distel hitch, the sap was great for holding me in place:laugh1:
  2. learn how to move things with the minimum effort. read a good book about engineering, plenty of neat tricks to move logs by hand on the ground without breaking your back or legs.

  6. looks a bit fat around the throat, did you thin it out? and how far does it bury? it looks a bit short to me.

  12. if you saw a bowl like this, how much would you pay? sycamore has the quality of keeping fruit fresh, this bowl is made of the same, gift:001_smile:
  13. Thats another propganda campaign, one of those kids might make a fortune in thier lives and send thier kids to good school and solve world hunger or cancer. so many people from a hard upbringing have made good.
  14. a glove, the right sized file and an off cut of wood for a handle:lol:
  15. True, this is the propaganda thrown out to make people act up, I have paid 100's of k in tax in my life, so has everybody else. So to claim a living allowance while your poorly is no big deal. Just ring the DWP and say works dried up.
  16. yep, i thought that too, makes you wonder how they ever got domesticated:lol:
  17. its all a thing everyone goes on about! i reckon they love the smell and its probably a pack thing, mine also likes to find worms, gives them a good quash and rub.....nuts. try tomato sauce to nuetralise the smell.
  18. good learning then, that why i said about the rope holding you. as with rock climbing, remember to flatten if you need to.
  19. shift your weight forward, have you ever done rock climbing?
  20. unlucky, but please bear in mind your feet were in the wrong place. you'll never make the same mistake, even in trainers! i have seen to many times, horseboxes, plant and rubble:001_rolleyes:
  21. I'm having some printed on 3yr vinyl backing. thinking of 9" x 12.5" based on the logo etc. do you all think this size is good? or should it be bigger or smaller??
  22. walking backwards is one thing. But the proper way is to on the side of the branch side stepping, flat out! High anchor points are a must and you must understand that the branch is there for balance, its the rope thats holding you:biggrin: only when you get to the extremities, do you use your lanyard for work postioning.
  23. as above, correct. look up: Tempering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  24. good luck with this, as I pass all my bush trimmings out:lol: I'm too far away for you though.
  25. silky, what rucksack do you use? bought a great one for my nipper for school, i'm dead jealous and want it myself! thought you would find one handy, targus A7 - Targus Europe | TSB16702EU – Targus 16 inch / 40.6cm A7™ Backpack £60 RETAIL NEW £20 0N EBAY....(NEW)...
