Good thread. Where I work the norm is to ascend on a wire core and limb on the way up. Most of the guys don't even tie in twice thinking the wire core is saw proof or some thing... I've found that the only way to keep up with these guys and remain safe is to choke with a biner SRT and clip in...
Im going SRT these days more often than not and I have a 20ft lanyard I Daisy. It is sweet because it works like a mini dbrt system when I need it. I also use a 3to1 on the climb line but I'm still new to climbing and I'm trying to not be lazy and get into better work positions. The other day I...
I've been watching this post for ages. I'm running a hh1 when I go SRT atm. Almost bought a rope runner when TreeStuff had them on sale and before that was gonna buy a bdb. Got a kid on the way so money is tight right now.I just started my akimbo fund. The yard is full of logs the boss just...
I'm also looking for a pair of boots. These vs salewa mountain trainers? How long have guys had these boots before replacement? I'm on 2 years for my pfanner zermax , best boots ever wish I could resole them because they still have life left but I'm almost racing on slicks. Would buy again but...
I can't say anything about the 2000 but we run a 2015 1800xl and it bogs down like crazy on the bigger stuff. Seems like I'm waiting for rpms to pick up or reversing the feed rollers trying to unjam the thing. I used to work for a company that used an 18" bandit that would chip non stop being...
Im with pfanner man on the back being high and tight but love my legs loose especially on spurs with lower d-rings. Just two days ago i had a stihl 362 hanging from my harness. No slip at all. It has taken me a while of adjusting to like my harness. I wish it had the buckles for at least the leg...
Haha sweet. I had a mint 83 hj60 with about 400000 ks. Looked at importing it to Canada with me but wasn't worth it. Still looking for one here it would be cool to do a rebuild.
I used to do line clearance in Australia. We used to have a third party(company) go do the scoping/ bid work then contract out the work. They used to drive around in Utes and do estimates on the work. We were usually paid by the span( power pole to power pole) and expected to do 6 spans a day...
Not digging the petzl micrograb on the flip line. Just used to prussics . Does anyone use a Art positioner on there flip line or can you? It looks like the way to go
Thanks heaps for the advice. Just replacing the one hose and how tight it was trying to pull it threw with the fitting on was a nightmare so i think the coupling idea is ruled out. When i removed the broken hose i tied some throw line to it so i had something to 're route the hose but still...
