    -10 C and 60-70cm of snow.

    Like MattyF said, try hanging something of your climbing line. A good foot ascender will self tend after 2-4 meters.
  3. Ferguson system
    That is true.
  4. Ferguson system
    With systems like Sena you can connect up to 4 devices, and you don't need a phone to use them.

    Here's the spec: Recommended Oil flow (l/min) 10-35 Working pressure (MPa) 17.5
  6. Ferguson system
    I'm not sure what kind of flow/pressure it requires, but usually it's not alot. A 5 hp engine/hydraulic pump combo will be sufficient, or alternatively a hyd. pump powered by a 12v electric motor. I have a 12v/hyd.pump setup that has been used to power a small hiab crane. I have considered selling it.

    A small light weight rear handle saw is not that bad to have on the harness. If it bothers you, get the groundie to send up the saw when you need it. I prefer to use a Stihl MS 170 or 193, unless I need a saw with more power.

    +1. I usually only climb with a rear handle saw. That way I won't get tempted to use one hand on a top handle saw, and it forces me to get into the right position before I start cutting.

    I don't know if they are legal or not in the UK, but the tires are very good anyway.

    I can recommend Nokian nordman suv with studs.

    The same thing happend to my huztl 660. The flywheel loosened and whacked the ignition module. I complained to Arbortec/Huztl and they sent me a new one free of charge. The customer service is top notch.

    That's the kinda system I use. And the video you are refering to, could it be the one made by Timberwolf190?
  13. Ferguson system
    I connect a carabiner to the hook (homemade) and run my rope through it (ddrt). Friction hitch with pulley and foot ascender. I use the back end of my climbing rope or a long lanyard depending on the situation.

    Donaghys cougar blue with 8 and 10 mm armor prus.
  15. Ferguson system
    I'll give it a try, thank you.
  16. Ferguson system
    I have tried VT, distel and knut. All with the same result. The hitch tends to go slack as described earlier in the thread. I think that I will give scwabisch and klemheist a try.
  17. Ferguson system
    Same here.
  18. Ferguson system
    Spec on Donaghys Cougar CE Blue from the manufacturer: Cover: HT polyester Core: Braided nylon Construction: Braid on braid Breakload: 2800 kg CE EN1891:1998 Stretch is around 3%. I use it for both DDRT and SRT.

    Slightly different colour and texture on the bark, silver underside of the needles and darker green. I'm guessing sitka. Picea sitchensis
  20. Ferguson system
    20" bar is the limit on HVA 346xp.

    Petrol V engines rock, just take a look at the new Bandit intimidator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rnp2pnBUR0
  22. Ferguson system
    anchor knot and timber hitch
  23. Ferguson system
    Tear down a saw and rebuild it with new parts. That's the best way to learn how a saw works.
  24. Ferguson system
    Ddrt is not that bad. It is easy to learn and use. Add a few things, and it's effortless. Tending pulley, cambium saver, foot ascender and a hand ascender w/foot loop.

    Dog shit is high on my list as well. I remember with horror a job I did a few years ago clearing pines along a walkway. The amount of dog shit I hit with my chainsaw on that job... Using a brushcutter was not an option as the trees were too big and had to be cut with a chainsaw, so I had to kneel down in the ditch to cut them. Bags of shit had been thrown into and around the trees and was concealed by the snow until I hit them with the saw. To make matters worse it was bloody cold and the heater in my truck didn't work..
