    srt redirect

    How about the Direct, Inline, Loopie, Directional, Operation. or Dildo for short...... :) It could be called a CJ for short (of which i prefer)

    srt redirect

    No, your srt line is dependent to this redirect, if you use one line then yes but i use a 3m bit of rope tucked in my strop pouch. The reason why the dDRT one got bad press is because its one line, this is 2 or 3 components to form the redirect. Hope this explains it a bit better, Ian

    srt redirect

    I did ask him 3 times if he was sure he wanted it to be called it...... Its used a lot to back up on double footlocking if you require retrieving the hitch or work unit. It pays to make the first one tight and as long as you do a minimum of 7 you'll be fine. Personally id of called it the CJ.

    Climbing in The Gambia

    The one in the video was a Grey Plum at around 25m. The guys climbed a mahogany tree which was huge. Mainly though it was Kapoc trees which were like climbing razors, ropes got quite damaged but we tip tied to reduce the wear along the ropes.

    Climbing in The Gambia

    Mainly during my time as a hand model ;) Matthew Shute asked me after i was asking about zipline work in Panama. This seemed an amazing project so i came along. The project has the goal of creating sustainable tourism to give the locals the chance to earn a living from for instance a zipline...

    Climbing in The Gambia

    Hey everyone Just a quick snippet of footage from our expedition into The Gambian bush, pushing 39C in the shade and well into the 70C's in the sun. I'll be doing a documentary but it will take a while. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9uUO3eqgSJo"...

    Rope Swing

    Weve been putting our head together and have worked out a way to get even higher!! Were going to set a high pulley and a low pulley on a tree the opposite side to what we were pulling from this should easily get us to around 45-50ft before we well scream like little girls.

    Rope Swing

    Hey everyone, glad you enjoyed it. So we climbed the 2 trees and threw throwlines out to pull the line up. Already on the line was a tandam pull linked to a isc paw rigging plate the 2 crabs to a skywalker pulley which had the swing line through so we could get up and down when being dragged...

    Rope Swing

    So we went up these to 80-85ft wellies and decided to make a rope swing at 70ft . We made it self leveling and got a swing length of 40m, on the 1st two pendulums you got a bit of off the line time. Great fun, high winds and snow. Hope you enjoy <iframe width="560" height="315"...

    Hello. Tight removal for you

    As i said on your facebook, tighter than a Jewish priest (its a joke so i aim not to offend). Nice work Benn can you imagine how much of a PITA it would have been to climb instead.

    Honestly its amazing, Light and easy to carry over your shoulder once a ropes through it. We had it bouncing off stumps, stems and log stacks and when it got stuck it flexed but never cracked. Since that job ive winched some 40ft black pines down a garden, Now without it i could of been...

    Horrid, stunk and the water was around -6 to -8 BUT very much a good laugh when someone either fell over or got stuck and had to be winched out. Boat to work rocked though.
