We're talking about a small piece of amenity woodland, not a prison camp or large block of commercial timber. Rather than adding razer wire, trip wires etc I'd take a good look around a prospective plot as problems are best avoided to start with. So, in no particular order: Check for foot paths or public access nearby Check for any public access on the land, even permissive footpaths. Check the state of boundaries, damage etc. Check for properties nearby, try and talk to people to see if they know of any problems. Look around the woodland, check for signs of dog mess, litter etc. Check for signs of fly tipping, rubbish invasive plants etc. Check for signs of livestock, sheep especially leave fleece on brambles etc. Try to speak to neighbours When speaking to people try and work out if they might cause problems - for example one woodland I looked at someone felt it was his right to shoot foxes in the woodland but there was nothing written down. Check for sporting rights etc. I found visiting several woodlands for sale gave me a good idea of what to worry about, one didn't have any problems but access was terrible which is why noone went near it.

Late to the party today jase 🤣

He can go back and defend himself in court then 👍👍

That’s such a cool truck! Tree shear and mulching an access track for a comms tower yesterday as there were complaints about wing mirrors. They’ll not need to worry about that for a few years now.

I have already looked into purchasing one off Seddon's Plant..

Correct name is a heart cut, generally used on biggish trees where you felling cut is more than twice the bar length, ie if your using a saw with a 20" bar you should get able to fell a tree of 50"dianeter,

Not for a few years now mate, I should probably change that 🙄

Did did you get it sorted ? I’ve looked through my 325 manual and can’t see any guidance on spring settings.

You can insert sideways, yes

The X logo appeared together with updated ignition module (the one with active idle control). Carburettor changes were non-essential.

I have already covered this, compliance with a statutory requirement (condemnation by the Council and an order to fell them) is an exemption. It is not necessary also to prove risk. But even if it had to be proven, the legislation merely says "prevention of danger". It could be said to mean immediate danger but it could also just mean 'danger'. It could mean slight danger or serious danger. It could mean danger to property or danger to people. Contrast that with the Scottish legislation which says "necessary for the prevention of immediate danger to persons or to property,". I expect that's what FC wishes it says in England.

Mind, I reckon there will be some AI bot at it sometime...

There should be a consultation, which will take several months, and if enough people reply the results will take longer to produce. (If it's like the other resent ones they'll ignore most of the replies). So it shouldn't affect renewals for a year or two. The negative news around it will affect the 2nd hand market on shotguns though as even more people give up. I've already got a cheap spare safe for cartridges so ready for the changes.

The excuse for that is to cut down emissions for the residents isn't it? The fumes from all those EVs must be deadly
