Its not a forestry thing at all,, its all areas of using a saw and any instructor worth his salt should be telling you thumb round that front handle as it will give you approx 50% more control over the saw in a kickback situation and that could be the difference between a saw hitting your head or not,,

Understood. I was indeed taught it on the first CS31 I did; it's just that it wasn't mooted as the big deal it should be except since that day and both times by foresters!

I think as nat made the comment on social media , the scale of damage here wasn't shown on any main stream news , people didn't have power for weeks in parts of Northumberland ... if it had been any other part of England there would of been outcry, the prime minister didn't even declare in a national emergency ffs.

Fair do's that does look bad, damage to the buildings you've milled the timber for must be heartbreaking too.
