    another notched spar descent accident

    [ QUOTE ] I don't agree with you AxeKnot about using the tag line to get to the ground. I've done it hundreds of times. I alway keep my lanyard around the tree but loose enough to move downwards easily. If the tag line were to break I'd still have my lanyard......even though it may be a rough...

    New Arborist tool

    Contract, Absolutely brilliant! Well done! That guy at the start talking was so funny man! Seriously though...... I dont see why this device should have to go through any sort of safety tests or down any similar legislative paths? It is just a rigging aid. Like a wedge. I cannot...

    Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree

    Re: Anne Frank\'s Chestnut Tree [ QUOTE ] I would wonder what Anne Frank would think of spending that kind of bread on a tree? Perhaps she'd rather see it go to help victims of other war torn countries? [/ QUOTE ] I think the tree was important because people could see and read about it...

    Handsaw preference

    The main problem with the leg scabbard is that it allows the handle of your saw to get caught up in small branches. Sometimes the small branches pull the saw out of the scabbard. Silky Sugoi is terrible for this problem. Also the leg scabbard gets in the way when clambering through branch...

    I take your points allmark. But i certainly would'nt be sending my kids out with a bunch of sweat ridden tree surgeons! They could have put in some nice pictures of happy kids and disabled people in wheelchairs going up the trees. Its just so typically male isn't it? I bet they made the...

    Splice Autopsy

    Thanks for posting your findings nick. Are you saying that if there is no whipping on an eye splice then it should not be used? If you are I wholeheartedly agree. You'd be amazed at the number of climbers that dont bother about the whipping if it unwraps itself or disappears mysteriously as...
