Crossbows are for guys doing 200’ trees regularly, which isn’t us, let’s face it. Practicing until you’re half decent throwing by hand is one of the most valuable skills in arb I reckon. Setting lines, pulling hangers, deadwooding, setting remote rigging, it’s all good stuff.

Brian james plant trailers , better built , chival librte as a horse trailer Small ifor as a small single axle trailer . Hoping to buy and m&e trailer at some point .

I used to disappear up my own rear end trekking around the country to quote for works - then had a light bulb moment, started asking for spec/tree removal reports and offering up estimated time and costs based on that! If we were in the range I’d then take a trip to site and fully inform fees. Saying that I still get house builders telling me they have a budget of x amount (based on what exactly 🤣) and then get asked if we can start the next day….🤣

I have 365 and I have 2 of them , can’t believe it can drag 28 inch properly , even 24 is at the edge with full skip, both my saws is modded , mufflers and port cowers grindet! Best bar for them is 20 inch or 18 in my opinion.

We get the picture Kram, you're tight and think you can reinvent every wheel. I can relate, going through 9 of the falteimer knock offs in a few years before buying genuine which has lasted me to this day and many more to come. By all means feel free to disregard my experience and crack on as usual though 👍 Ah, you went full retard... don't do that.

10/10 post for multiple reasons

Kram, probably more lounge wear.

Cacti! Pure gold.

The older I get the less I give a hoot. If someone rings up and they are 30mins away I have got to be feeling extremely motivated to go and look at it! Seem to get enough in my village and the small local town to keep me happy. Quite a number of second home people round these parts. They get in contact for a quote but by god are they difficult to pin down. Seem to give you a very narrow window when you are obviously tied up elsewhere. One lady I have been batting emails back and forth for three weeks. Think that is going to kick it in the bin, shame as it is a local one but only so many hours on the day to deal with these cacti 🌵

That’s a worthwhile walk in my opinion!

The simple answer is no, av system not up to it, nor is the oil pump, 28” has to be on the slippery edge.

Yes you could. Resin printers are better for detail tho. I now have chain storage boxes And this little gadget to stop my phone getting lost in that gap between the seat. And a battery holder thing

Which trailers are better (actual models like-for-like)? I have my own thoughts and experiences, very interested to hear others.

I wouldn’t choose either, the 4 series saws are not the best, however the 435 gets .325 chain as opposed to 3/8 hobby , they are both composite crankcase and clam shell design, they share many components, do yourself a favour and get a 545.

PJ's at 7pm? Are they special arb PJ's? I want one of these. The line is stored on a fishing spool and should wind in neatly between shots. A shame those crossbow murders happened, they are now outright banned as offensive weapons? I cant get over £80 quid for a folding bag, if arbs are willing to spend that, no wonder harnesses, friction devices, spikes and every other functional item is 400 quid plus.

If you need a demo of Morrisons, disruptive debut into arb, throwline bag then you'll have to wait, I am not braving the rain out to yard in my PJs even for the loyal followers.

My mother in law went mad one year making all sorts of wine, not sure why she hardly drinks at all! Made me some good slow gin in the past.

Drinking rain won't sooth the itch. You seem to have a stock control issue.

Bastards. Rain it is.

I have been using a Morrisons bag for life for the last 10 years, might be on my third bag now but they do the job. I fold the bag down and it goes in my climbing bag. I don't throw I just big shot everything. Yeah I know a cube should be better but the bag for life doesn't go manky looking and can easily be replaced. Probably not the sort of knowledge sharing people are wanting but you have got it now.

I was going to revive a home brew thread, but this will do since we're here. This is the first stage of some Hawthorne wine that I'm experimenting with.

It'll probably be fine I reckon. Cider is pretty easy in my experience. I made a few barrels in the past, and they all turned out well. Can be deceptively strong though. It lulls you into a false sense of security as it tastes just like apple juice sometimes, and then you've got no legs when you come to get up. So you'll probably get the better of your two options!

Hoping it works out and I will go for a larger amount next year. Made 300 bottles of apple juice this year. Will be able to sell it as organic as of January, well you pay your money to the organic people so that you can say you are organic. They come back to you and say "if you want to sell direct to the public you have to pay extra." FFS!

Well that would be the jackpot for sure!
