Ive always loved border collies.I remember watching them on one man and his dog sheep trials and loved how smart,athletic and loyal they were.Some time and a good bit older i saw collies performing in the flyball competitions at a highland games show,i loved it! 13 years ago my wife and i adopted our own collie from the local rescue centre.We just went too have a look...yeah right.... We came across a little collie pressed against the wall looking very timid.Aww she's lovely the wife said,as i bent down to look at her she licked my hand.Right there a love affair was born.We eagerly went to speak to the receptionist who informed us the little female collie was a male collie called wallace...being scottish that name means alot to me. 3 days later we took that little collie home,he was mental. He ate our new table legs,he chewed the door frames,scratched the couch,wrecked the carpet and gave both the wife and i numerous injuries. He climbed more mountains than most people,not just big hills-im talkin munro's-serious mountains. He absolutley loved the car,i think he just assosiated it with goin to the beach,or fun walks or on holiday. He warmed the iciest heart(my mother who hates dogs) but not wallace he just turned on the charm. He ate like a labrador,worked like a spaniel and farted like an elephant. I absolutley adored that dog even though he tried my patience every day for most of his thirteen years. Wallace got sick a week or so back and today with a heavy heart and many tears i had him put too sleep. I dont write this for sympathy or sadness,he was suffering and i had to face up to the facts that he was an old dog in pain. I know many of you have dogs,give your dog a cuddle right now for they have such an amazing impact on our lives and theyre gone too soon. I know i'll see my boy again

Stihl semi chisel

Yale xtc or hendra are good ropes available in 13mm. Why 13mm ?

Princess leia's gone...too soon only age 60.

He was amazingly generous and philanthropic.I liked his music,he-like all of us,had his problems and demons but his talent and generosity will be missed. RIP big man

The marlow rope is pretty pants imo,ive had the marlow gecko which is almost the same.Its a pretty decent starter kit but i wonder if you could get a similar kit cheaper and slightly better just by buying seperatly and shopping around.If you do go for this kit id get a ring or a swivel on the bridge of that petzl harness

So many variables here,really depends pulley placement.

Just reading up on some of his charity work,he volunteered at a homeless shelter every month,donated regularly to various child charities,helped a strangers by paying for hiv treatment,payin for another strangers fertility treatment and paying off the debt of another. Just some examples of his fantastic charity work

I liked his music,i liked him,he lived his life in his own way. RIP big man

Ive got treehog spikes,dont think they do velcro straps for them though. Ive never seen them on any of the arb retail sites. Perhaps the gecko or bashlins spares would fit...??

I like the dmm ultra o's on my zigzag and ive got a revolver.Ive never had problems with my dmm biners,just a blow out with an airline. Still struggling to think of a good scenario for those durolock biners...chockering around a stem maybe good or at tie in point for srt.

Nope,the biner should always snap back to the locked position whether its being manipulated or not.

Treequip is bang on-if your serious about climbing,my advice is to climb the scariest,slipperiest piece of **** tree you can find.It will build confidence. Of course you could go low and slow,which is what i did then i climbed in the real world and it scared the **** out of me,massive common lime on a pissin wet day...reality check.

Uncomfy

Tried em,dont rate em-although i didnt have any issues with the straps.Cant beat bashlins imo Hear lots of good things about geckos too

Have you checked the exhaust? If its jammed up with crud it can prevent running properly at full revs

Frivolity at its finest

How ya doin mate-aye yer right...wouldnt be fun otherwise..

Why would i expect anyone to do the same,everyone has an opinion and you've voiced yours.I do appreciate your input,even though i dont necessaily agree.I dont think there is a right or wrong answer here just thoughts,musings and opinions

Come on were all big boys,im sure you can take it Sometimes we all get a bit heated from time to time,doesnt mesn i dont appreciate everyones thoughts and input

Of course its related to the use of any cutting implement or why bother with the 2nd bridge at all,the point i was making is it was implied that my chainsaw technic must be flawed if i was concidering an added safety measure which just is not the case. I an by no means perfect and admit i still have lots to learn but to imply the 2nd bridge is becaise i am weilding a saw in a dangerous manner is not true.

I really dont think any experienced climber is going to start wielding a chainsaw wrecklessly because they have a 2nd bridge attached to theyre harness. You seem to be failing to grasp that this addition to the harness is in no way a relation to chainsaw use.Its simpley an added safery feature. We use triple lock and now quad lock biners yet ive never had an open gate incident,does that mean triple locks are unmerited...

Although i understand the logic of people assuming im thinking of adding a second bridge due to poor work positioning can i just add ive been climbing almost 6 years and im more than a decent climber.I can acheive good work positions and ive NEVER had any incidents involving the saw coming near my bridge/main line or lanyard. This is purley a safety feature i wad concidering and has nothing to do with my abilities as a climber
