Very nice J, the one with the watery sun 👍

I watch it twice, once to re-live felling, then a second time to appreciate the scenery

Would make a great promo vid for Scottish forestry. For a moment I envisaged a life away from posh coffee and biscuits, sorry I mean Arb!

Why I never went further into arb, I must of been doing everything wrong,  I just ended up with cramp and discomfort rather than char and biccies

I find the discomfort is forgotten soon after the team get an envelope with a tip in it, but you get a bespoke thank you card with your tip, written to The Climber.

 

It's because climbers are magnificent you see. Does anyone ever bring a card containing a tip into the woods for fellers?

Good to see you're finally embracing the fact Logan is double the man you are. 
 

They've made flasks for a good wee while now. It's pretty barbaric working conditions but it isn't that bad 😂

Few photos I don't think I've posted. 
 

New chain grinder that I'll be doing processor chains and hopefully scaling up a side hustle from it and see where it goes. 
 

585 melted the exhaust cutting firewood.

Just trying to give some balance J, you know how you like to make it look all romantic.

As for Logan's manliness, that's genuinely news to me!

Some are magnificent, worked with a few prima donnas as well.

Had a determined bloke walk in to find one of the cutters (not me) and serve some papers on him. Bloke could still be walking around in there somewhere, fairly sure he never found who he was looking for.
