    Quite right, or wait for the verdict before getting all ’woke’ on him.

    On light stuff it’ll be harder work cranking rather than just pulling it up as normal. The size crank needed to pull up a 660 would be prohibitive (I would have thought!) If I’m pulling up a big saw and need a rest I’ll place the rope over the top of the stump (assuming I’m ringing down)

    Clients who (when pricing a job) don’t know what they want, point to a tree and say “what do you think about that?” I think it’s a fricking tree! I can top it, reduce it, fell it, put a dress on it and call it Susan for all I care, but throw me a bone here, what do you want?

    Mind you his avatar was a bit of a clue.

    Check belt tension.

    I read that book, illuminating and disturbing.

    I can’t really make sense of the photo tbh. But if the flywheel (especially if it’s a replacement one) has really fallen apart then I can’t see an argument. Bear in mind my opinion is worthless! Does look a mess!

    You’ll have to tell us what actually happened. Blade came off, bearings disintegrated....

    I’ve seen lots of good climbers do just that on video. Never had a silky myself mind.

    This is me last week, mission accomplished!

    Verging on the high side for a six year old mid range saw.

    I know Steve did a thread like this but I cannot find it. Pre digital ones, rarely taken, hidden in a draw. Here’s me around 97/8 Ford P100 plus homemade trailer taking away the hedge tops, no saw trousers, helmet, chipper or a care in the world by the look of me, pleased as punch!

    iPhone maps these days, Tom Tom collects dust in the glove compartment.

    Can’t speak about the drive but your pockets are getting sloppy, replace them so the finger teeth sits nice and snug

    I can’t be bothered to look, but a couple of years back there was a female climber in the US who was using a base tie in on srt, she was attacked by hornets up top, managed to get down to 30 odd foot above ground. Her groundy panicked and cut the base tie to lower her down manually, the rope got away from him and she freefell the rest suffering life changing injuries. Some peeps are good in a crisis, some make very bad decisions under that sort of pressure. Sadly I think I’m in the second category.

    On the side, outside the roller box, not there!

    Same as the Forst? Very clever design.
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Ok, thanks. Personally I’d have got on and done it, real world scenarios and all that.

    Well it is a silly amount, and Eggs was absolutely right to turn it down.

    10k !!!!! It’s not often I go multiple exclamation marks, but blimey! That is a serious bet.

    I was recently at Carvoerio (spelling?) must be terrifying. Best of luck to you and everyone there.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Just so we’re clear, what’s the op’s employment status? Are you a freelance self employed climber?
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Get stuffed!

    Don’t believe the narrative of him being anti poof, that’s just a headline maker, probably no more than he’s anti bouncer when he’s pissed.
