  1. The answers simple jon....you need more coats mate:001_tongue:
  2. Hope that wasnt on porn sites...2nd thoughts..
  3. How does jon get any work done when hes a compulsive threader on these forums...thanks jon
  4. It was reversed for me,email,banking 1st ....porn later
  5. For me its how quickly we've become dependant on modern day gadgets.I lost my fone a while back and it was pathetic how much i missed it.We seem to spend more and more if our time browsing on fones/ipads etc than actually interfacing with those around us. I embaressed to say ive pulled my fone out and checked it whilst in tree when the boys are clearing the drop zone. Sign of our times init
  6. No worries mate good luck with your course,enjoy it.
  7. I would just add,i see on your picture you have a pinto pulley already,if you decide to combine that with a eye to eye hitch cord,put the ends of your hitch cord(the eye loops)inside the pulley with the biner going through one side of the pulley then the two ends of your hitch then out the other side of the pulley. Oval biner works best Hope that made sense...
  8. I think ive got a 75cm ocean polyester teufelberger on my secondary right now.Im using a dmm pinto pulley to advance the hitch. I dont like my eye to eyes too long but again its a personal thing. You may have to play around with different lengths and cord types to see whats best for you.
  9. Sometimes people on ebay advertise elsewhere,and forget to take the item off ebay when its sold elsewhere. To be honest it sounds like hes pissed off at the fiver sale and is being a knob about it. Open a dispute case with ebay,ive done this in the past and got what i paid for. Good luck mate
  10. I think i was taught the swabish for lanyards on my cs38,im not 100% sure though
  11. I prefer a eye to eye hitch cord on my lanyard rather than tying knots which i find are too bulky,buts its no major thing just my personal preference. Try a distel or swabish hitch on your lanyard,i find those work well with a pulley to advance
  12. When i did my course the instructor informed us that there was a very high pass rate, its really not difficult.One book id recommend is this one below. If you find yourself struggling just ask the instructor to help you,i mean your paying him to teach you so im sure he/she will be more than happy to give you a bit of extra help.We had a girl on our course who was an ecologist and had to learn to climb to get to bat roosts,she really struggled but the instructor and assessor got her through it. As i said before just practice in the evenings and look through your books. You"ll pass no worries Oh and learn the 5 steps of risk assessment,that will def come up.
  13. As all of the members have said practice the basic knots and hitches,you'll pick it up quicker than you think. As for the course dont get too worried about it we all get nervous and question ourselves and have doubts,once you've had your 1st couple of climbs with the instructor and start to trust your equipment you'll start to enjoy it. We all have to learn sometimes and pushing yourself into doing new things is character building and breeds confidence in your own abilities. Dont sweat the small stuff...just take it slow and enjoy it. All the best
  14. The bohdi, bo or sacred fig tree according to buddist beliefs,buddha attained spiritual enlightenment under this tree.The tree is sacred to both buddists and hindus and is grown close to sacred temples.Some have been aged at 2000 years old.Information from natures guide to trees. Very intetesting tree thanks for posting that...i love an ID quiz.
  15. Bo tree..looks similar...could be
  16. Looks like large leafed lime but with the elongated tip maybe osage..
  17. Tried the zig with a revolver biner at the anchor point today on a small tree,it works with 11.7 mm rope but not as smooth as a pulley.
  18. Looks like it has woodworm infestation,may be terminal
  19. We still use 044's at work.Theyre great workhorses
  20. :thumbup:Leave nothing on the gym floor but sweat Puke is optional though...
  21. I gonna try it and get back to you all.im not hopefull just wondering
  22. Ive seen a revolver biner used at the t.i.p instead of a cambium saver with a pulley,same effect i would think,just interested if anyone had tried it.
  23. Bang on...enjoy what you do or its just another chore
  24. Ideally train within the fat burning zone,roughly between 100-150 bpm's.Numbers vary as to age,sex fat percentages etc but 100-150 would be optimal steve. Be careful you dont ruin your joints,a good healthy eating plan rich in omega oils is just as important as exercise for good results mate:001_smile:
