This happened thursday, last thing. The irony:lol: Needn't have happened, my bag, but after many big shot misses and snags, another climber retrieved it in anger....resulting in an 80ft high impact clash v brick paving. At least, the baloon held up.

No need to answer my last post. It doesnt matter. Lots of friends here mate, just stop repeating yourself. You know what Im talking about. Everybody gets it.

so, the bag is feeling hurt ?

Please dont edit/add to your post after Ive already replied to it. Start a new post, aye. So, what truth do you refer to and who is hurt by it?

Truth hurts who ? What are you talking about ?

Sorry Tom. I know your heart is in the right place, but you've gotta know when to stop sometimes. As well as being a little less dismissive of other people preferences and points of view.

Like this shit right here. Just stop it. The hard sell. Its like you cant help yourself. Relentless, and inappropriate.

The is wild assumption. See you just dont listen to what anybody says. You do a great injustice to working climbers, employed or self employed.

I left a ropenight on a job, when i came back to get it it was gone. I didnt throw in a tree i wasnt even aiming at, get it stuck and then said frig it. Theres a difference. Its not about truthfulness, I just want you to elaborate on some of these absolute claims you make. Straight question...

I'm not talking about diapers Tom, I'm talking about throwbags. Can you not jus answer the specific questions that I asked you previously ?

Well who are these people ? You say most Arbs. I dont know any. Most Arbs I know are very particular, and will go crazy about losing gear, any gear....be it a wedge, spur guard, bar wrench or throw weight etc. Losing a bag in a neighbouring tree you say. Pretty horrific shooting if you miss...

Thomas, where are you getting this information ? When a throw bag gets stuck in a tree, you don't just quit the job and go home. It stands to reason that you still climb the tree and retrieve the stuck throw bag at the first opportunity. Its pretty difficult to lose once you know where you got...

Ive only split 2. One I continued to use with the split for about 6 months....the other split on the very first day because it was just garbage I believe. On both occasions the led shots never escaped because the balloon stayed in tact. The other 10 I just either lost or misplaced. I sure...

Thanks Stig. I don't feel so bad about myself now.

I do lots of pruning also, always have....because I'm good at it, and quick too I'm a qualified Arborist as well as a removal guy. But carry on, no worries mate.

I've probably had less than 12 throwbags in 25 years. Last year I spent more than $5000 gas alone to transport me to tree killings. If bad karma coming my way Im guessing it won't be for using led filled throw weights.

Tommy, with respect, you're are running gas/deisel powered trucks, chippers and chainsaws on a weekly basis, sometimes daily basis to kill or wound trees, for money, as a business. True or false ? The RK is a tool used to help facilitate these operations. The RK is also a business (not charity)...

Tommy, not looking to be confrontational, mate, but we kill trees for money, most days. So that people can get more sunshine on their pool....or put an extension on the car port so to fit the cummings in there. Theres always plenty of green waste, I'll say that. Lead shot in throwlines...

Sorry Tom. I was just looking to see where this thread was up to and noticed your question. To say FAIR price is perhaps unfair to you, as I'm sure your mark-up is tight enough as is. To put it another way, if the price was less that $100 I think you'd more than double your annual sales. Depends...

Ok Tommy. Just remember to be smart mate, and put yourself and your family first. Yo owe the industry nothing at this stage, and theres nothing to prove either. Funny you mention Jerry, and ironic how he's called time on the fundamentals book, just....because its run its course, time to move...
