Surely, "Never walk back to the truck empty handed" has to be in there somewhere?

 

Thought it was run back to the truck:biggrin:

Don't feed the chipper from directly inline with it.

Learn how to hand sharpen a chain & and keep the chain sharp. A touch up now and then takes minutes. Leaving it until it won't cut butter on a hot day, takes a hell of a lot longer.

Don't throw tools, especially someone else's.

A random one, but worth its weight in gold on a hot day or when you've got wet feet. blow air through your boots with the blower, it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

Buy two pairs of trousers, if you get wet through one day, you'll need the dry pair the next.

And repeating, never make a journey empty handed.

Try to keep an eye out for your climber & work mates, keep the brash off the climbers ropes etc, & keep a wary eye on kit.

When riding in bosses truck avoid rabbiting on to him about football,recent punch ups,weed,or last nights liason with some young lady.

When exiting truck dont slam door like youve got out of the cab of a fordson major.

When starting saw/hedge trimmer/strimmer,dont pull starter cord so far out that complete recoil assembly is nearly wrenched out of its mounting bolts.

[Hodge]
