Ah ok. I'm in the process of building another log store, so yes, maybe I should focus on unseasoned logs. I can't seem to edit the original post, so I may copy, amend it and post it in a different forum as I'm not sure this was the right one anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

Morning all, Hedge reduction in the rain today, then hopefully sorting kit ready for Loler. I once drove a Land Rover 110 with the family, towing a caravan the the Loire valley. Vinyl seats in the heat. The the caravan fridge packed up. Have fun everyone.

I’m led to believe that’s exactly how it works. You can put whole trees in one end, and if the arse-end is at a garage forecourt you can basically go on holiday for a couple of weeks and come back a millionaire.

The round cabs are amazing, forget all the bla bla bla about spares and costs, who cares. I can close my eyes and take myself right back to sitting in my little U900, the engine noise, the feel of the engine right beside me, I can do this with every machine I’ve ever owned, I’d easily have half a million quid in the bank by now if I just cut trees and didn’t have a love for machinery but where’s the passion in that. It’s the whole story of vehicles. It’s like watching a Top Gear adventure. The drive to get it, the meeting of others, the excitement of paying, funding, scraping together what you need to buy it, selling of stuff you don’t need, the breaking down, the bits you hate about them when you first start driving them but by the end up, you know every quirk to start, to open a door, the gear that’s not happy changing down into but it’s all part of it. If you love that kind of life, buy a mog and Landy and have this job of cutting trees to pay for it. Cook bacon once on the silencer of a mog in a field or wood with your mate at work and a dog running about , that’s heaven right there guys!

What he said!😂

Cannot get the sleep pattern organised this week. Forfar to Glasgow with bits in between today. Be good and be safe y'all! Poe, Ghost, Hic.

Good Morning Why isn't it Friday? I'm goosed. I once drove my LR Series 2A to Reading. If it had a radio in it I'm sure I would have heard about the mobile road block travelling Eastwards on the A322. Then same on the painful return. Still a cake famine round these parts too. Have a brilliant and dry one.

I drove a Land Rover from Durham to Angouleme, all the time cursing myself for buying the bloody witch’s curse. Heater was working in fairness.

Morning all . Have a good one .(pissing down again )

Got an electric chainsaw, that is unreliable enough. To be fair I could nearly get away with electric with the range of some of my work but it's the steep hills that would probably write it off.. the national park were going to get the Isuzu pick up but when they demoed one the range in real terms was more like 50 miles with a trailer. Also the expense of it, I was thinking an older mog, 1960/1970, probably a round cab so not getting up anywhere near the prices of a new motor.

Morning all. Feeling like it should definitely be Friday, to add insult I've done that old person thing of waking up with sore bits for no apparent reason. Not sure exactly what the day brings yet, tree cutting based activity. Have a good one folks.

I thought I'd already checked back in about this but here's my year-and-a-quarter review. It's still waterproof. Material and build (things like pocket corners) are still good. Apart from the zip, which went floppy at the bottom quite quickly and is now a fiddle to do up. The pockets aren't big enough, there aren't enough of them and the top ones are too close to the bottom ones; I struggle to get the ice cream tub of veg scraps into the bottom pocket because the top pocket is bulky and in the way. Biggest complaint is the hood. No protection on the side of your cheekbones and eyes. Perhaps cut for being warry and having hawk-like peripheral vision but still feels like pac-a-mac design on a 300 quid coat. So well made but some design flaws. Or just not the exact design I want. I need a similar, non-waterproof one but I'm not buying the obvious choice of the Arktis B211 Mountain Smock if the hood is going to be the same (and the pockets are smaller). I've only found one brand who do what looks like a decent hood (Lockwood) but they're all waterproof. I rather rashly the other day exclaimed, "Fjuck it. If nobody makes what I want, I'll do it myself." I don't much fancy a 250 piece minimum order of £200 jackets.

The best of luck to him then. I once drove a Land Rover with a crap heater from Suffolk to Gateshead in a cold snap. That was bad enough.

Those orange boxes you refer to are scrollable, there’s a button to take you to the listing page then contact button is in the listing label. Yes you need to upgrade your account contact details, a mere £30 for the year

"Until you want to pull slack into your system for any reason and the device just eats it." Yeah but you just put a bit of friction on the rope, use a foot or a knee against the tree. The bigger issue I found was when above the anchor point, it is a bit of a ball ache to pull the rope through it. IMO the self tending which allows way easier free climbing outweighs the negatives. Horses for courses and I suppose thats why there are so many climbing devises on the market ATM. It would be interesting to run a poll to find out what the majority of people are using. I recon prussik loop would still be up there!

Hi i am trying to use the tip site section on arbtalk. To search fkr sites to tip logs too. But when I try and click on the blue circles it comes up with an orange box with some details for the tip site but no ways of contacting? Is this a service I have to pay for? any help would be appreciated.

I personally think the Reflex looks awesome as a "one device does everything" affair. I'll be giving it a few months while the keen kids are guinea pigs though.
