Some are magnificent

 

Please don't take me seriously Blackbriar, all in the name of trolling Jdon.

And for the record, when climbing is concerned I'm far from magnificent!

Lol, ok.

I have worked with a couple of climbers that made the job look as if they were born to do it. I could have dangled off a rope for decades and still never been able to work that smoothly, hence why I did what I enjoyed most, felling

I remember that sinking feeling as coffee with glitter poured into the cup. I migrated to SS flasks, they don't stay quite as hot for so long but at least a warm drink before the drive home.

Bought a Stanley one today on Amazon. 45 quid, says in the description it's withstood 4k ft drops and bullets. If I break it they'll write a book about me

I know how you feel J, ran over my coveted travel mug with a tracked chipper not that long ago.

 

Were you working up Ettrick? Must've been windy with you, we were mewping near Bowden crossroads and it was a bit hairy, hold the saw positioned ready to cut then wait til the limb comes back in range.

They won't but you'll be forever known as Burst Stan.

Was out Langholm ways today but back there for the next few days. That video above is all to winch so should be grand for a change of job. Get some videos of it all as well, it's mainly just small larch. Diseased

Vids would be good to see.

My mate put his Stanley flask down behind my trailer wheel, didn't leak but never really held heat again once I'd made the outside can touch the inside.
