I'm in!

Much lower than -20 and I lose interest and circulation in equal measure.

I've not used Haix for years,but thought they were good boots at the time. I like "Klima Airs" but usually wear through the Leather covering the Steel Cap after about a year.Squirting Windscreen Sealent into the hole seals it for a while,but once they are holed they are on their last leggs.

Two years is a great Run from a pair of Boots,thats a year longer than any have lasted me.

What are you burning in your stove this winter 2010
Mike Hill replied to firewoodman's topic in Firewood forum
Burr Oak and Yew. No one wants to Mill it here,so in the Fire it goes. Surprising how well Yew Burns,this was a couple of Feet thick at the Base and pretty straight for a few Feet.Not usual at all. -
Nice and Cold. With some Luck it Snows again.

If your pump its not leaking and it runs fine,then I wonder if it isn't the lift pump? If your winding it over and it fires with a big cloud of smoke,then the Diesel is getting there,how much you don't know but its getting there.Then it could be,a number of things.You will have a glow plug relay on or near the fuse pannel,you will also have a Fuse for you Glowplugs.Changing both won't be costly. Might be a place to start?

The colder it is,the easier it seems to Split.I had a play around last week Splitting some Oak in -10,much easier. I don't mind working in the Cold,but anything under -20 can get painful.I don't like climbing in Snow Boots or thick Gloves.So I have to suffer when my Feet and Fingers thaw out in a Warm Truck Cab. Ropes get a bit stiff in the Cold,Friction Hitches can seize,they melt the ice when your decending and then it freezes again.Saws get problematic and you need winter grade Bar oil,or dilute it with an Alcohol.

Ice in November to carry a Truck,best have your wood cut or your going to be ....ed. Thats something I just made up.I doubt it will Rhyme in Norwegian.

Got Expelled from School and was to young to join the Army.

Slow is a National Pass time here in Norway. Don't forget it would take at least three people to use that here as well.

I'm 31,been climbing for nearly 15 years.I want to be out of this industry by 35.My reasons are as much about looking for another challange as much as they are practical. I have worked with guys who have been climbing for 20/30 years and many are doing it because they have to, but fewer because they love it.Both those who love it and those who have no choice were more damaged physically than they would have liked. However the pace of the work in the UK and the relitive small size of the Trees could well extend your Climbing Career.

Yes and have been for years. They are no good to you when someone else needs them mate.

Me and a Guy named Steve used to imagine what our company would be called S&M Tree Services "Beating Prices Black and Blue"

FFS.

I have no Imagination Tree Services. I struggled at School Tree Service. Etc.

I'll book the Curry House this Week. I would like an idea of numbers attending the Meal. Looking Forward to this,well need a break.This was my first weekend off the Tools in seven Weeks.

If your not in your Spikes alot,then Steel offered the best Value and Velcro pads the best comfort. However if your Spiking daily,then somthing with a little less weight like Alloy or Titainium with the Velcro wrap around pads would me my choice.
