Back down the woods last weekend, getting some therapy. Brought the new dog along to have a look. Birch and larch thinning's in the rack, and had a go on a failed pine that had twisted off during a storm last year.

Good work there Rowan , i like the way you describe it as "therapy" , thats exactly how i find it ...

I like most of the stuff i do , Maintenance , Landscaping , arb work , processing firewood but i LOVE going well down in the woods or miles off the road into some backland area with 3 or 4 sharp saws and not having to talk to anyone for the day ...

Yeah thanks. It definitely clears the head space for me alright. Quite addictive the woods can be as well. Only weekends though unfortunately. I'm stuck in Co. Meath weekdays, conducting field work for an exploration company, logging drillcore and going underground into a zinc mine for my sins. While this work pays the bills ( and in fairness very enjoyable) nothing beats down the woods on your own with a saw and the old 35 passing time.
