  1. I would have armed Geese that exploded once they were out of ammunition.
  2. Congratulations! I hope the position becomes a perminant one!Now that you have your foot in the Door,keep it firmly wedged there!
  3. I would buy one or two of all these.
  4. Nice idea mate.But there was a stone wall in front of Mog about 5 meters high.
  5. Today we Zip lined out about eight ton of timber using a zipline.The trees were straight felled and the bush chipped with the tracked chipper. We were able to zip the logs straight onto a trailer for easy egress. Pic one.Mog used at ground anchor and Turfor used to as safety device.The Turfor will slip before the Cable approaches breaking strain.Thats not really an issue when dealing with small timber,but it can avoid embarrasment. From beginning extraction this morning,we were finnished in a total of seven hours.Not bad for two blokes and some gear.

  8. Estimate the time it will take plus any dumping fees and multiply it by what your hourly rate is.
  9. Black Poplars are always easy to "Boot Prune".Wether intentional or not your Boots seem to find the branches that nature dosn't seem to want the tree to keep:ohmy:
  10. And the word "Front" written on the feed tray.
  11. Getting into a Helicopter at the break of Dawn and flying into the Southern Alps.Getting dropped off on a ridge at 4000ft and sitting down,listening to the Helo's engine noise fading into the distance.Making a quick brew and starting off on a weeks Thar hunt.
  12. Nothing is fool proof to a sufficently talented Fool Dave. I,like most of us have met people who challange Charles Darwins theory on a daily basis.
  13. Haunch of Venison with a few chunks of Garlic pushed into small cuts,along with bits of cracked pepper.Roasted in a covered tray for a few hours. Served with freshly baked bread and a robust Red Wine.
  14. Sounds great!Make sure you get some pics up

  15. Propper job mate! Maybe consider a Humbolt Notch next time you are recovering the timber? Leaves any waste in the stump and makes for a flush Butt.I for one appreciate a nice Butt.
  16. We have a 7.5 ton flat bed with a 4.5 Ton Hiab on it.Its no timber crane,but for lifting large lumps its pretty good.If like you say the access is good then that might be all you need.
  17. Looks Grand! Is it your Mog its mounted on? I took my Mog fishing today,we like to go fishing.
  18. Yes,but my Gills are drying out:001_smile:
  19. Here is my veiw from the Breakfast table.
  20. Found this Qualified nurse refused residency because of weight - National - NZ Herald News
  21. I only have a 30" waist.However my pockets are usually stuffed with cash so that stops the Weaver from falling down. "Weaver harness,choice of the cash job climber"
  22. Very nice indeed! What progam are you using to edit your footage?
  23. I am very excited about going. Not much happens in Norway. *Sigh*
