    On Saddle Blood Stopper Pouch

    I use on of these - not sure if they are available over the pond though. Pull the red tab to access the tourniquet and blood stopper. Silver Bull is the manufacturer

    Plunge cut tear out

    I remove the bark at the back of the tree before I bore the back-cut. Makes it easier to judge the size of the back-strap especially on thick barked trees

    Lanyard Setup

    It is used as a 2nd climbing line if the ocasion arises, but most of the time it is employed as a trad 6ft lanyard. Very flexible system

    silky saw vs rope

    Messing around the otherday. Promised myself i'd film this ages ago but never got around to it. Bit serious and testing not exactly empirical, but at least you get to see me bite the dust :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd2CH2tMdL4

    climb line pulled into chipper

    This is a real fear of mine. As a result I train my staff to carefully mind my lines and also reflect on my choice when purchasing. I use line such as verlocity hot and blaze which not only offer the performance but also sufficient visability within a brash pile
