  1. id go for it mate, i wouldn't not do it now, the teeth that you cut off are never used anyway. and it only takes 30 seconds to do, take the handle off and get busy with the grinder
  2. Try castle howard, near york itself. there is a arboretum there, i imagine theres some good trees in there
  3. Each to their own i know, but isn't that a bit gear overkill? iv never been in a position to need more than 1 throw line and have only used an access line once, if i need to i just foot lock up both sides of my climbing line. I carry my gear in a crate, like the ones beer comes in. Spikes, flip line, rope, harness and throw line all fin in nicely. The crates also stack nicely in the back of the truck.
  4. All my hand saws have bits cut off them. I cut the last few teeth, next to the handle, off. Saved my fingers a few times when it get slippery! I also cut the daft nob bits off the end of them. I think they are only on the curved silkeys, zubat and sugoi. I thing they get in the way when trying to do neat finishing cuts in tight forks.
  5. Iv just got the CT X-Arbor Helmet, very impressed with it so far Does have an attachment for the popgun visor thing. CT X-Arbor Helmet Combination - Honey Brothers Ltd
  6. I get pains I'm my thumb joints, but thats the after affects of dislocations. Nothing thats going to stop work mind.
  7. Ladders then climb like a conifer! So much easier than docking around with a throw line in my opinion
  8. Hi Im not talking about horrendous scars or cuts where chainsaw has bitten you. Just thought id make that clear A while ago, some of you may remember, i posted a thread asking you to fill in a survey for a research project i was doing about climbing techniques and any long term affect the may have on the human body. The response i got was awesome, Thank you very much for your help, the amount of information i collected, just from the survey, was more than i hoped for. I did notice that alot of people said they were suffering from tendentious, tennis elbow or swollen joints. What you have is Repetitive Strain Injury. or RSI. But good news, it is easily fixed! Repetitive strain injury - NHS Choices This is a short article from the NHS, it summerieses the main causes (funnily enough all match up with tree work) and a few easy ways they can be sorted. I hope that might help/interest some people Thanks again JC
  9. You have only had it up for a day dude.. Give it a week, youll have your hand bitten off im sure!
  10.

  11. Meindl airstreams all the way I wear mine for walking in too
  12. Hi As a investigative project for college im looking in to climbing techniques. The history behind it, the equipment used and how its evolved. That bit i can research, but any help would be nice Another part of my project is how different climbing techniques affect your body as im at college and this is due in the next 6 months, i dont have enough time to test every system and climb on it long enough for me to get results, never mind the fact it would cost a fortune! lol but if you could fill in this questionnaire it would be greatly appreciated Tree Climbing Survey It will be interesting to see how different people climb and the affect it has Cheers James
  13. Doesnt mean its unsafe, at the end of the day im not going to put myself at risk by climbing on it if im not happy. Loler can be a right ball ache sometimes imo
