It can't .. The cam locks and needs a sprung lever placed out of the way to open it. -
Treekit.com stock the camp ascender. I've had a go on most of the foot ascenders. Depends on your preference but the camp one self tends better than CT and has the option of lock or not. CT doesn't have an unlock setting.. New Pants-tin doesn't have a lock with carib option as the old one did, but you can put a keyring thing in there that'll do the trick. See instagram for pics and others slagging off Petzl.!! Also the kernmaster rope with its 48 strands can lead to ascender slippage if the teeth aren't aggressive enough (Camp)

Yes defo contact DMM. They will sort it out for you.

Never heard of it.!!!

Two tentsiles and my homemade tent up a tree in South Wales. Have to see my Instagram account (timberwolf190) for more pics/vid Also an article on Dmm professional website 😊 incase you're interested ;-) Instagram.com/timberwolf190

A video from the Live Scenario part of the Treekit/Galahad course. You can sit in a village hall with St. John's if you like... but this is a dedicated Arb course utilising proper trauma kit for when it's really bad. Not stuff covered particularly well by standard first aid courses or the contents of your average kit. Instagram/timberwolf190

Fairly predictable I'd have said.!! Instagram/timberwolf190

Yes it is :-) Instagram/timberwolf190

Just spotted this thread.. I'm running an 835 with a log arch and timber trailer. You're going to ask for a bunch of figures and stats I expect.!! Suffice to say it does ok.. I wouldn't try skidding out big loads on the 35e winch too. It does it (reluctantly) but it's a bit underpowered. Of course it all depends on traction too. Some pics attached but 'older phone' ones on my Instagram account. Search hashtag #agromehanika there. Instagram/timberwolf190

Yes an Arb calendar ... Events, seminars, workshops, competitions and shows. Great idea James Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Haha Maybe the tea is drugged!! I find myself coming to just as I say 'thank you' and leave the place with more gear in hand. Lol
-
Haha... Yeah I got a few big tubs on the go too... handy for keeping lowering rope off ground/tidy during ops :-)
-
No... But I talked them into stocking them even though they are the designers of the 'silver bull' bags. Kinda 'love your bags but I want this!' So I'm cleansing myself of the guilt!!

Hi guys Awesome bags in at treekit.com Pictures speak for themselves. Check their website for details.

It blocks the cam from fully opening and is adjustable for whatever rope fits in the pantin. Also thin enough to push out the way of the cam fully opening when the Velcro is undone.
-
Yes I'd heard there were some reporting breaking parts on them :-/
-
This innovation arose because I'm done with technique refining, ppe trousers interfering, branch contact etc all resulting in rope kick out. I am disappointed that petzl removed the locking option and would buy the CT one if I had drawn a blank on a fix. :-)
-
I'm all over that!! When does sharing become attention seeking?? Perhaps I need to refocus !! Oh well.. If it's a good pic and not all blurry I'm gonna 'like' it.. Which I think is proper, if someone has taken the trouble to upload it ;-) Certainly seem to attract less negative criticism on there, than here... Haha.. So bring it. Lol
-
Added a Velcro watch strap to prevent kick out.... Works for me!! Instagram/timberwolf190

Hi All... I'm posting on behalf of my customer. And you are calling them to enquire. Anyone interested in purchasing various lengths of storm damaged Atlantic Cedar on Wilts/Dorset border.? Trunk still standing, measures 1.7m Dbh and is approx 6m high before damaged area. Number of other lengths and bits too. Call site manager: Paul 07977 222219 in office hours. Thanks

It's a big topic and depends on which gizmo.. But in a nutshell.. Ease of operation, predictable friction, use of core muscles (foot ascenders), faster access with less effort, one handed slack tending on branch walks.., etc Possibly best served by picking a gizmo and looking on YouTube for a video. The next best thing is having a go. Lots of Arb shops do demos and trade fairs are a good place to see what's what. ;-)

My picture yesterday but more in link below. http://www.demotix.com/news/3542719/duke-wellingtons-cedar-tree-felled-kingston-lacy-dorset/all-media.

Hitch Hiker thread.
Timberwolf190 replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
No, left leg gear is just for a long ascent. I havnt spent enough time in the chandlers looking for a less fiddley alternative to the mini shackles currently used. At mo have to unscrew one shackle (without dropping pin!) then just release the foot harness.. Not exactly arduous but not ideal. :-) -
Hitch Hiker thread.
Timberwolf190 replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Sorry.. Meant to post the above in the srt thread !! Oh well :-) The pulley pictured above allows removal of ropewrench to switch to drt when required, without dismantling the whole system. Short tether pictured on Carib is for the return spliced end Carib. -
SRT With DRT Gear question
Timberwolf190 replied to Arran Turner's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
