  1. Are companies like Petzl like that though???

     

    My assumption would be that Petzl would simply replace and look into the damaged one... and I assume that as the customer is happy with that, he doesn't feel the need to say anything?

    The idea of telling, or asking someone to keep their mouths shut, would have me singing from the highest mountain (or tree in this particular situation) so I don't think that would be in Petzl's interest.

  2. Try this Marty

    Do the typing you want on the post... Then (in another window on the phone) open photobucket.

    Click on the pic you want to display.

    At the top of the enlarged pic there is a thingy that looks like a chain. Click this and the links will appear.

    Not sue at this stage what link the site accepts, so first I'll try the img link and second will be the direct link.

  3. Certainly don't allow yourself to rush in order to try and fit everything in, that will just stress you more, and lead to you not concentrating at critical times, make mistakes, and may lead to an accident.

    Better to turn some work away, or just tell the customer that there will be a long lead time before you get to them. No probs giving them a set date so they know when, but give yourself the time you need to be able to cope.

  4. Near perfect...

    and

    Almost exactly...

     

    So you mean NOT perfect and NOT exactly???

     

    Virtual as in "virtual reality"... which is nothing like reality...

     

    Literally when they mean virtually...

     

    Other than these few, my main annoyances are "Americanisms"

     

    But above all, when someone calls a Landrover a Jeep... in fact, anything with big wheels they think of as a Jeep... WHY??? That's like calling a tree a Daffodil.

  5. It's okay... I just looked at it again blown up to bigger proportions, and there's a third guy coming down on a rope between the first and second limb from the bottom on the left side, and he is in proportion to the one at the bottom.

     

    I take it he's coming back down because there's a giant at the top???:lol:

  6. A good rope, a harness, a good helmet, a prusik, 2 crabs and a Silky.

     

    Learn your knots and learn to footlock and that will get you into the tree with very little extra needed. I still do quite a lot with just this set up, but if I were to do it as a living rather than a hobby, then things start getting more advanced.

     

    I'm lucky, in that what I do in trees is very rarely anywhere near the general public, houses or footpaths etc... I usually have plenty of space, and quite a lot of trees nearby should I need to take the weight off my standing tree/limb.

     

    If you're used to freeclimbing, and most of us did it as kids, the added security of a rope is massively comforting, but don't get too cocky with it before you really start to understand the system and how it works, most of all, know the limitations of your kit, and yourself.
