  1. The Gelert is about £30 is the cheapest I found. Ill have a look at mountain warehouse. :-)
  2. Just to repeat above. You get what you pay for... Usually buy cheap buy twice. Im no tree surgeon, but I've always know Stihl as the best, keep to what you know.
  3. The 90L Gelert Expedition bags do seem good value. Yet to find one in a store to look at though.
  4. Ha! I will put it on the list of "ToDo's / ToBuy's" but spent way too much this month already on climbing gear so think I will hold off for this month. So what equipment is needed, what poles are you chaps using?
  5. Well now this is something that looks fun! Do I need it probably not but might make one anyhow, ha!
  6. Blimey! You must have a good throw. ha!
  7. I have got a Stein Rope Bag so that's good, I do like that. Just for all the other bits a pieces.
  8. That's not a bad idea... Army Surplus store might be called into tomorrow. I would like a Stein/Stihl branded bag but you pay through the nose for it.
  9. Well this is a silly hobby/interest.... Well for my bank account anyhow, ha! I seem to have already accumulated enough stuff that I now need a fairly size-able bag to store it all in. I considered using a Really Useful Box but not quite so easy to leave it in the boot as takes up quite a bit of room. What does everyone else use, it sounds silly I know!
  10. You have boxes of the stuff!!
  11. Half price at the shop?
  12. Mind my ignorance, I'm learning. When you say access rope are you referring to your climbing rope to initially access the tree?
  13. When you say tied your own, you mean you just knotted it onto the binner?
  14. Ha! Too easily persuaded.
  15. Which slings are best for rigging then?
  16. If happily give work to a forum member instead if references and experience were satisfactory. Who does it?
  17. I tried that this weekend. There seemed to be too much in the biner. And did look messy. I'm only a beginner so prob doing it wrong, ha.
  18. This will sound silly most likely but hey ho! Can you use a prussik loop on a hitchclimber though? Or ideally a E2E?
  19. Cheap Polypropylene Braided Rope it is then.
  20. That's something I don't have.
