  1. Coleman's got the good oil, best of not dropping any life support hardware on hard surfaces. Cheers, Tony
  2. Hot knife can struggle through the new HRC's. Whip and lock, sharp knife. Tony
  3. I'm laughing a bit. I guess I have broken far to many 24' retractable tape measures and was somewhat reluctant to try this expensive one. I'll give it a go sometime. Cheers, Tony
  4. I have never pulled mine out all the way, yet. I assumed like a retractable tape its potentially damaging to do so. Thus the marker. Cheers, Tony
  5. No heal? = No spurs. Just got a new pair of Arbpro Evo's, they look all right, not a ground boot though due to there stiffness.
  6. Hey Joe, Mate, thats pretty poor. I even attribute my bastardised system to you as your vid formed its foundation right down to the Futura for a while. There was a similar system floating around out there by a guy called JB Holdaway, hes a bit of an innovator as well. My observations is that there are many not taking business to Wespur anymore and preferencing Treestuff outta the states instead. Maybe just getting the miscarriage of justice out there globally is all you can do, it can be effective. (In your last email to Wespur you didn't ask for anything for it like an oil rich state in return did ya?) Cheers, Tony
  7. The spotty's on 457's at the moment, best option is to board a leaking wooden boat at Indonesia head towards the Aussie coast and whilst under heavy surveillance from the both Indonesian and Australian authorities radio a mayday, scuttle the boat utilising fire ignited by your identity papers and by that stage your government water taxi shouldn't be far off plucking you from the drink. Going well and if your haven't committed a terrorist act in the past few days your laughing. It doesn't matter if you have no skills as the government will force the tax paying public to support you. As for all those terrible people applying through legitimate channels, shame on you, your showing no effort or commitment to live in this "lucky" country. Seriously thou, from an employers perspective there are pro's and cons with your age and experience. Good luck man
  8. Hey man, Depends what your after. QLD TAFE's run cert III's, Inter link is a private RTO GCIT ? TAFE courses - Gold Coast Institute of TAFE, Queensland, Australia or Home - Interlink Training I imagine they may be some smaller regional trainers, check out this link, it may help or point you in the right direction. http://http://training.gov.au/Training/Details/AHC30810 Cheers, Tony
  9. Great minds bro, I placed some red whipping and lock stitched it 2ft from the end so it shows past the cinch. Without the keeper on the cinch biner its a bit floppy and if you not careful it will side load giving a disconcerting flick as it orientates when loaded. Cheers, Tony
  10. I don't use the lever at all, just rotate the cinch, no probs even with gloves on. Only thing I'll do is out a silicon keeper on the biner to help keep the cinch orientated when the lanyard slackens. Cheers, Tony
  11. Go's around comes around = Karma.
  12. Don't know anything about how you fellas price stuff up and I have no idea in your currency and climate whether 500 pound is fair or not but I do a lot of quoting over here with civil and agricultural contracting. When gear and multiple employees are involved a minimum applies, 1/2 day, full day, why? Because by the time we get organised get gear there unpack set up do the job and pack up again a half/full day has gone at least. Money is made on full day jobs and extras not driving around for the better part of the day for a number of jobs. Its purely a question of remaining legally, ethically, fiscally and physically viable. We know whats fair and whats not when where quoting based on the margins required to sustain the business. We also rely solely on word of mouth. Cheers, Tony
  13. Hey man, I think this is what your alluding to. Cheers, Tony
  14. I'm passionate about motivating volunteers, a few from arounf the place that I use. Regards Tony
