  1. You can't afford rough hands Rupe, think how many pairs of stockings you would ladder. Heel balm is also good for dry chapped hands.
  2. Here's my fire, all conifer and willow, even my dopey Labrador has had to move away cos it's practically melting the glass.
  3. I don't understand this business about burning with little heat. Comes up regularly regarding poplar or willow or alder or whatever. I'll build a fire out of alder, and you come stick your hand in it and tell me if it's hot.
  4. Apparently there are resistant trees in fowlmere.
  5. Only kind to wear! I'm telling you, the pink pound is the new grey pound!
  6. I like the colour, I'd have my company name done on it in gold sequins.
  7. The Dixon Bate is the best design IMO.
  8. Glad I wasn't there mark, I would have died laughing. On the bright side at least you didn't land on your groundie.
  9. That's about 2 logs. What do you need all the machinery for?
  10. 1. Is the customer about to brew up, and is it worth waiting for the tea to arrive before gettin up the tree?!
  11. If its piped for a breaker or similar, then yes.
  12. How do you mean to the back? You can put a standard grapple and rotator on an 360 excavator.
  13. 6. Although I did climb 5 large cedars today without so much as unsheathing my handsaw.
  14. Fenland: That would be cool, I think I have seen your trucks around locally.
  15. 1. Lack of oil, usually from clogged pump, either causes overheating, or the links of the chain to kink up. 2. A very worn sprocket.
  16. There are 2 Albee stockists in St Helens, you dont need an account. Approved Stockists - Helium / Balloon Gas - Air Liquide
  17. Big Bolt, where did you get the brash grab from?
  18. As Steve said, google Albee. Half size, 3.5 hours continuous welding on one bottle. If you need more than that buy 2.
  19. Hilti breaker all the way.
  20. 2 wrenches one above the other?! Only one way to find out Gibbon!
  21. Do you mean rescuing a climber who is on the wrench, or rescuing a climber using the wrench? If the former, can't see it making much difference. You could either transfer them to your system or just descend on both fairly easily. The one scenario that might cause problems is bringing two climbers down on one wrench.
  22. Leaving them felled but whole for a few weeks will drag the water out via transpiration. Whether that will actually work in your rainforest environment is another matter.
  23. That is a common way of doing things in some middle eastern countries. Gets around religious difficulties with credit.
  24. Drive it to Tesco and back for the weekly shop? As good a reason as any!
