Dr Storrick, i have just been to your website and its hard to believe its you because your not a mortal like us are you? Absolute full credit to your achievements!
Ok if we are going to get into this, then i think we as arborists need to identify what we actually want, not even Dr Storrick can read our minds ay TM
Here are a few simple straight foward things i want out of a piece of equipment that hasn't been invented yet;
- A smooth and controllable friction device, a device that allows you to descend quickly, tend slack reasonably easily and apply friction smoothly also. = A perfect world
- A device that can be used in a DRT system or a SRT system, is it possible? One or the other would be ok though, are we concentrating on SRT?...
- Something thats not too bulky and heavy, for example the unicender is too bulky but the lockjack is about right.
- It has to adhere to the arboricultural code of conduct for climbing equipment.
There is a start, who is next...
