Nothing like sitting at 10 o'clock tea after strimming all morning eating your sandwiches completely stinking of dog shit, lovely

Lanyard/sidestrop mechanical friction device ideas
Kimosabi replied to Sam north's topic in Climbers talk
The real beauty of an art positioner or petzl zillion is no matter how much resin or conifer sap is on your lanyard they are still very easily advanced compared to a knot, bit of a downside is sometimes when you are working at awkward angles the bridge on a treemotion can release them slightly but the pros outweigh the cons for me anyway -
Fight fire with fire my grandad always used to say........which is probably why he lost his job with the fire service
-
Depends what value you put on your life
-
Yep i think i read somewhere its both made by the same company only branded differently, i also had petzl flo orange and nicked it close to the eye splice one day so i just use it now for conifers or pines with a bowline on the end, the yellow atrax is actually much brighter and stands out more than it looks
-
Cousin atrax is exactly the same rope as petzl flo only a different colour, yale bluetongue is ok but it doesn't self tend anything like atrax
-
Cousin atrax 11.6mm absolutely flies through zigzag especially with art ropeguide, it self tends almost immediately, i think buxtons are usually the best for it
-
Yep i would agree, I've had 560 and 562 huskies and the ms400 has a bigger engine with more power but feels lighter and more nimble, for a long time i ran mostly husqvarna saws but all those newer stihls are hard to better

I watched a documentary last night about how ships used to be made years ago.....it was riveting

Don't waste your money the chain speed isn't that fast and they don't leave a very tidy cut

I never new the pope was a cat lover... but apparently he's a cat a holic

For many years my grandad held the world for having the most pigeons sitting on him....... what a ledge
-
When I was a young lad my grandad always used to say to me "selfish boy" "selfish boy" so later in life i became a fishmonger
-
At first i never believed my grandad was stealing from his job as a school lollipop man but..... all the signs were there!
-
Thanks for clearing that up
-
Just asking for a young lad who's thinking about going down that route, I've never had contract climbers in
-
That's exactly what I thought, although for some it seems to be a bit of a grey area
-
Does a contract climber provide his own insurance when working for a company or is he working under the company's insurance

Where do you put the ladder? -
Ct climbing technology helmet, by far the lightest and most breathable, buy as a shell and the husqvarna visor and muffs fit, highly recommended

Kimosabi replied to David Dobedoe's topic in Chainsaws
You are probably right about the way they are trying to start the saw, i always found with the 550 that the first time it fires on full choke it's that faint that people who aren't used to the saw don't hear it fire and continue to pull at it on full choke, after that you have to hold the throttle fully open and pull it over with the chain brake on
