    When i meet the designer of the treepedo at the UK AA trade fair (AA doesn't stand for Alocoholics Anonymous) yeah i kinda thought is this tool really needed? Firstly it seems a lot of you guys think its dangerous? The prototype i saw weighed around 8oz i think but there was talking of being...

    New Boots

    Meindl's tend to come up a little large compared to some, they are also broad. I've always been a big fan of Meindls they are well built boots. My prefered Meindls are the wauldlauffers, the airstreams just seem a tad to bulky and heavy, although the randing seems better. Airstreams are made...

    I prefer a hip bag, i can keep 25ft-30ft of 10mm line comfortably in one. I am using 10mm ocean poly with a cinch for adjustment, also have a micro prussik near my terminal karabiner for isolating limbs without side loading the karabiner, this allows me to then use nearly all the 30ft as a...

    Like Todd I have a Black Diamond haul sack this is large enough for me to keep a basic soft rope bag (that i don't mind chucking anywhere from any height) my harness, silky other bits and bobs plus helmet, its a super tough construction and not to fussy with a simple design. I just bought the...

    hitch compairison

    The VT is a great knot but takes a lot of time experimenting to find that elusive sweet spot, i always used to dress mine very tight with a 4/1 with the top braid always going over the bottom braid rather than alternate, as I climbed this would ease off to 3 wraps 2 braids, fine for my weight...

    Also can anyone explain the phenomenon of why your Friction saver will get stuck on the last tree of the week on Friday more than any other day of the week?

    Southsoundtree there are 2 ways i do this, the first one is in say a tree with tight forks where i'm not 100% sure i'll be able to retrieve it. I take a small throwline mug up the tree with me in the bottom of this mug i'll have an old throwbag to give it a little weight. I'll set my cambium...

    Video: Vertical speed line plus extras

    O.k Tom thats cleared things up, just wanted to make sure is all. As for the 250 I thought it was, just sounds different to mine. I like using my 250 for blocking down also, theres no need to go over board when a smaller saw will do.

    Video: Vertical speed line plus extras

    Good video as usual Ekka, even i'm strugling with the terminology though, the bollard you mention Tom is that the same as a rope brake, or flying capstan? All good stuff though, more info to add to my mental tool box. Ekka you using a MS250 to block down? I'm also curious about this clock hitch!
