Today I acquired...........

[Kram]

5 things
A bleed controll kit for my harness
A figure 8
Laces for my saw boots
Some more 2 stroke oil
A dump pouch for my harness as well

My bleed kit must have fell off doing a tree in Croydon last autumn, I should get another. What one did you get?

Is a dump pouch related to dog walking/egg collection or when you really need a no2 in the tree? I hope not

Having a number 2 up a tree?

I got the stein one, mainly because it's the one Sam Turners had in stock, and I have the first aid version, so 2 little pouches, like the photo

Nooooo, no craps in the tree

Keep my friction saver, gloves phone etc in there.

And in other news my old crappy hedge cutter broke, so a new one of them is coming as well

Heck no, I know of a lad who took a n°1 up in the tree, and as he was climbing drt, and his groundie had a basic understanding of how the system worked, his groundie turned the tree into a big old friction device, which is both mean and hilarious.

TLDR - climber went for a pee up the tree and the groundie tied his rope so the climber couldn't get down

Fair enough, mine was a Stein FA with a Celox packet and eye wash vial added to it. No idea how I lost the bright orange thing!

I would find that bag gets in the way. Phone goes in my trouser pocket on a 2mm cord lanyard. Gloves on my hands and friction saver clipped on one of the gear loops.

Tonight I just finished a new friction saver, spliced it a few months ago but never got time for the lock stitching.
I have a 20m spliced eye rope, another friction saver (all Liros Ignite rope) and an e2e ocean prussik loop that all need lock stiching I may attempt to finnish tonight.

Nice, I don't find the pouch gets in the way, but like most things, climbing gear is very personal, so no right and wrongs, as long as you can pass LOLERing

I didn’t buy any Milwaukee tools today but I did get a Festool Midi dust extractor for when I do use them so I don’t have to spend so much time cleaning up after. I had to travel a fair bit to get it but as you see it’s hardly used and was a good price including the Bluetooth remote switch.

This has been a game changer. I spent most of Sunday removing paint and sorting out the plaster in the kitchen with a sander. Yes, my hands were tingling by the end of the day but only bit of dust to clear up was from hand sanding were the electric sander couldn't reach. The pads on the sander didn't clog up either which made the job a lot quicker as well as little cleaning up to do.

Spotted this on E bay for a very good price.

Complete, for under £30

 

[RWD3M]

That's a bit of a steal, no?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

That's a bit of a steal, no?

And bit of plastic.

Not today but yesterday, an Erbauer 18v reciprocating saw from B&Q to cut some floorboards and pallets for firewood. Does the job admirably.

You will find you will actually wear sanding pads out rather than having to swap them due to clogging!

Exactly that.

Lets see if this is as good as people say.

Plus.

I still find odd items from my plastic Meccano set! Must have been given it in the early 70's.

That, Lego, and my Army metal meccano developed my engineering mind I think. Happy memories!

Generously donated this morning by a very nice container driver:



...after mine fell under his trailer wheel a nanosecond before he drove off:



Note to self: £10 would be money well spent on spare reading glasses

My head(s) all rebuilt and shiny after they were examined.
