    Having had tattoos since i was old enough to get tattoo'd,got my first at 18 and im 44 now,im heavily tattood and ive seen both ends of the spectrum.It was widley regarded that anyone with tattoos was either a dodgy character or armed forces.Im neither but i have experienced prejudice on the fact i have tattoos and i know its cost me work in the past(i used to be a chef 20 years ago). Thankfully those days have gone,tattoos are very common and accepted in mainstream society. I would have no problem hiring a person who was heavily tattood;arm,hands even neck and face,its not how a person looks its how they are as a person,employee or wokmate. I pity people who judge others because of the way they look.

    I use dmm ultra O's,they fit great staying at the end of the carabiner so no chance of sideloading

    Dry days im more prone to use zigzag,wet days i find it creeps sometimes. Ive noticed on slimey wet ropes it creeps a lot too,i use 11.7mm tachyon. Tbh most days im climbing i use the hitch climber,but again some days i cant be arsed tying hitches,gettin my gloves jammed in the hitch so i ll go to the zz. Ive no real preference just i find both have there places in my kit bag-dependant on the job,weather and mood. Sometimes i find the hitch climber can jam up too,which the zz doesnt do. Just my opinion

    Ive no interest in bikes or the iom TT but i saw a video of a couple of bikers tacing in the TT and holy **** they were flying..i had no idea how quick they went. Respect to anyone racing motorbikes- that takes big balls

    I thinks its just with the mk 1&2 both prone to stress fractures its always been on my mind not to put any excess lateral load on to the zigzag-even though its a mk3. Maybe a bit of paranoia on my part

    I still use a prussik as a waist anchor,but i know the setup you mean,i just dont have an adjustable cambium saver is all,if i did that would be ideal yeah
  12. stihlmadasever
    Its common sense,if you put strain on the side of the links they are more liable to break or deform. Im not stating they will break,i just prefer not to use the zigzag as a waiste anchor as i feel it could deform the links into bending or place excess forces upon the links This is not any sort of reference from petzl just my opinion
  13. stihlmadasever
    In that case enjoy the zigzag,combined with a cambium saver or pulley and 11.7mm rope its fantastic. Only thing id say is im not confident using the zigzag as a waiste anchor when chogging down stems,lateral loading can help stress fracture the links.

    I cant seem to switch off,even when im not at work im still looking up at trees,looking at how id climb them,where id anchor in,how id get to the end of a limb etc. Even just tryin to id species im not sure of... I even jibber away to the wife if were out walking the dog,she rolls here eyes,glazes over and goes into the nodding head and sayin yeah honey symdrome. Anyone else do this or am i obsessed/mental...?

    Speak to the neighbour,introduce yourself have a word,if they rarely leave the house theyre probably not aware of the issue.While your there offer your sevices...win win
  16. stihlmadasever
    I dont know why some people feel they have to chose between hitch climber or zigzag,both are now affordable so why not have both and switch between the two depending on your needs on the particular climb
  17. stihlmadasever
    Great,could've watched much more...
  18. stihlmadasever

    Arbtalk on facebook is goin mad with the news of this recall,a lot of guys dont want to give there 2510 back to echo. I hope the 2511 is as good as its predecessor.
  22. stihlmadasever
    Anyone know anything about the 2511 yet.
  23. stihlmadasever

    NPTC is the recognised body,lantra do run courses but usually have NPTC trainers and assesors. NPTC would be my recomendation for training/qualifications as its also recognised abroad. Bet you could tell a tale or two if you've been felling for 30 years eh rog

    Micks just sayin its not rated as a good climbers saw,tickets aside.
