Perfect, where is the sherpa to carry the gear.

Hey Pete, Do you have any products in mind for a heavier duty hydraulic pump or do you think it could withstand something like a “cheater bar” to give you some more leverage? I’ve got a very similar car bodywork repair hydraulic pump and i’m very dubious that it can actually put out the force advertised on the box. thanks, cal

Harry Long Straining the ends round the outside of the ladder to fasten them (i,e. the very short length between the last rung and the splice) as shown in some of your footage puts an excessive strain on that very short length of wire. This leads to potential damage and is very bad practice. When I became leader for UWFRA I found they were using stainless steel wire - as advocated at the time. hopefully, no longer in use anywhere. Looking at this I found that I could break the wire by hand with a minimum of effort and thus binned all their ladders! The only really safe way of fastening the ends is by threading one side wire through the coil to mesh with the C Link on the opposite side and the same for the other side.

Thank you, very nice video

Interesting work, great video.

best explanation so far for me!

8:25 Pro tip: Ditch the yellow pulley on the top left. You'll get better mechanical advantage, plus you can use you leg muscle to haul.

Wish id seen this video last Friday 😅! Great system 👍

Another great video Pete, really glad someone is producing these resources! If it's useful, at 07:42 You don't need to remove the pulley when changing from the traxion to the rig, just pull some slack through - reduces the chances of dropping anything!

That's a really well presented demonstration. Very clear and slick - thank you!

Nice - really clearly explained :)

Good clear demo, easy to follow.

Great video Pete. I had seen the technique of breaking into a fixed SRT line using a short sling and traxion but never thought about applying it to a belay system . Thank you!

great explanation.

Nice vid! <3

Great video

That’s a really good demo of that particular failure mode with the Rig/Traxion combo Pete.

Great video Pete. Maybe the go to product if I loose my micro taxion.

Not quite how we used them back in the ‘70’s & ‘80’s lol

Bro's back yard decorations look like he's preparing for the day of the rope.

I need how to smelt locally

How to smelt

I have a lot of galena deposit around my place

I’m a supplier of zinc and lead ore incase anyone knows buyers. I can deliver up to 50 metric tons

Thank you for the info. Great help!! Godspeed

Great job thanks

Plenty of galena in the mine where I work. We're a flourspar mine in Derbyshire. A large mineral vein through predominantly limestone. The lead is collected alongside the flourspar. The galena has unusually "bubbled" up in areas, thats the only way I can describe it, rather than it being a vein as such

Price

Excellent video. 👍

It's available to buy and sell unique lead provides me

Great video

摸完洗手 不然不长个儿

I agree it’s smart to leave stuff in mines for others to enjoy. But a word of caution. Governments don’t care! In Utah and other places in the US the government is actively closing, baring up, or blowing up mine entrances to keep people out. In some cases they’re just demolishing everything historical buildings included. So if you’re in an area where it’s going to be destroyed id say collect what ya want because the government will stop future generations from enjoying mines even if the mines are safe. Some mines are dangerous or unstable and that makes sense to close but a lot are in good condition. It’s sad to see history being destroyed by government. What’s also sad is the hypocrisy. My friend is a scrapper and ships truck loads of scrap. He asked the government if he could clean up a 100 year old dump that’s just on the outside of town. The government said sorry that dump is protected by federal law. Let’s save a dump and destroy mines. I think environmentalists love when mines are destroyed at least in Utah. There’s a mountain range where there were tons of mines and today it’s a wilderness study area. Wilderness protects areas that haven’t been touched by man but now wilderness is used to prevent the use of land even if the land has clearly been mined in the past. I’m jealous of the UK. I read the UK requires people to turn in finds from metal detecting but are rewarded. In the US if you find something in the west on public land and sometimes private the government will just take it with no reward to the finder. So obviously a lot of history isn’t reported due to incentives from the government.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU. THANK YOU! I can now reliably tie a bowline on a bight every time!

wonder if they used lead in weapons.

Can i send u a sample of stone and please check it if is zinc ore?

Thanks for sharing, very good to know!

Very clear! Good to see, i like the reminder about placing the casualty safest and quickest spot for first aid to commence. Big shout out to beard bag too, great acting there!

I have some clog and 'snow and rock' carabiners. I bought them about 10 years ago. I know clog made snow and rock equipment and wild country bought clog years ago. Any idea of where I can find life span ratings for them? They live on my personal rack as i am unsure. Great videos by the way. keep up the good work. HP

Nice video! Is that Buttery Ken being hauled there?

I appreciate there is a bit of white noise from the microphone. Awaiting delivery of a better one for future vids.

Brilliant stuff and a brilliant knot!

Brilliant, thanks Pete. Will have a practice later.

Brilliant idea Pete, you've joined the YT clan. I've subscribed and looking forward to seeing more 👍

Brilliant news. Only video type information out there is either American, dated or only pertaining to rope access/tree surgery

Looking forward to the vids Pete
