Clarks Supertack here

Love it
-
Thanks for that mate. Well explained. Sounds like the Ventura gauntlets thrown down!!
-
Absolutely a difference. Geckos all the way here too.
-
Easy. Can clean stuff over the weekend... Bit like a mot, don't want to fail cos I missed something obvious... Thanks
-
As above, anything I should bear in mind for this. Don't want kit to fail for stupid reasons?! Or is it as straightforward as it seems? Thanks

Hi Old Mill Starting to look at jackets and wondering about the ever popular Cut and Climb or something else. From another thread I saw you had one and now you have this new Pfanner one. Why did you change and is it that much better? Cheers Stew

I would agree, don't bother with CE lanyard, do it yourself. Learn on a Prussic or blakes KISS, but move on quickly to hitch climber type system. Mechanical, so many options better to climb first and then know what you want from a device. Get spikes, I didn't bother for a while but most likely you'll start on the easy jobs - dismantling conifers and it makes the job so much easier, and throw some money at them, one day on decent spikes and you'll forget what you paid for them! Flip line is personal choice, I prefer, but if short on cash then lanyard is ok, but not best practise. Get more than 25m rope, so it gives you more range. Proper climbing helmet and some decent gloves like those £3 Pfanners. Bungee strop for the chain saw? You'll probably need more than 3 carabiners too. Have fun

Proper Devon rain here too -
I only lasted about two weeks on treebay before it left me cold. Actually couldn't believe that people would bother to be like that. Arbtalk is a safe haven ;-)

Agree adding a match winning situation to the options available to the ref. It's the last kick of the game. Get it right. Some players won't get another chance to play in a RWC. I think Scotland played above themselves that day. And that's how it should be. It's a World Cup, and players and teams should be inspired to reach new heights. Did ANY of the other northern hemisphere teams do that? You can argue about the ref all day but we did make a bad decision to throw to the back of the line out and in real time how could anyone see it didn't come off a Scot?
-
True true. Just all the other fabrics I have too!!
-
Yeah it could be new harness time. From what I gather some inspectors will say it's over 5 years bin it, others will inspect and decide if it is good to go or not...clearly age is a factor in the whole picture but it seems crazy to me to chuck a harness that is still good just cos it's older than 5. Cheers fellas
-
Spoke to Aran and yes nice bloke, but my harness is over 5 years old now and I think it'll last a bit more, but he said no to fabrics over 5 years old....so I'm hoping to find someone who'll at least have a look at it.

Tony Lane - Cullomtpon way?
-
Any suggestions for loler inspectors in South Devon for me? Thanks in advance
-
+1 for the red pfanners. Best I've tried 👍🏻
-
Whereabouts in Devon may I ask?
-
Did this ever happen? Thanks

If you want to replace soles - you could try these people - Walking Boot Repairs, Hiking Boot Repairs, Resoles and Refurbishment - LSR I got them to do my Meindl walking boots and they came back looking brand new...it does quite a bit to resole so you have to be sure you'll get another year probably out of the rest of the boot. I have the Meindl WoodWalker boot and they have done so much work its ridiculous and they don't owe me a penny....looking to replace them now, not sure whether to go the same or go for Airstreams....
-
from this straw pole....Sounds like a mixed bag.....perhaps I am thinking forget about the anti-spill and just get a bog standard 5l can that'll last for (more or less) ever
-
The fuel spout on my old style Husky combi can broke again today after filling up at the pump...the thing is starting to do my head in... So wondering about these new ones - now people have had them a few months are they still in one piece? Still reliable and not leaking etc.... thanks for the opinions.....
-
Probably should use equipment rated to the job - rigging slings and rigging krabs. But old krabs been fine for me.
-
Thanks Hopefully I'll get some time today to have a go... 😃

In the handle?
