  1. I guess it depends on how much the consumer relies on their fire for heating,thus if the wood is green and puts out less heat then the consumer will take objection to the the lack of quality.Around here the most popular wood to burn is Birch,but most people will accept Spruce.We have a list of people who will colect wood from jobs for us and they will travel further for Birch than for anything else,Ash,Oak,Tamarac etc.We don't sell firewood,I'd have to find out all the costs involved.
  2. Seeing the groundie that you have trained can now actually sharpen a chain. The wind blowing over the Tree you were straight felling to "Save time" after you've put nine wedges in the back cut.
  3. http://http://www.airsoftscotland.com/acatalog/Gamma_M33.gif These would also be quite an effective deterrent,but pay attention to the instructions
  4. We have a website http://www.tredoktor.no, as well as giving some students free firewood for distributing flyers.Sounds like a silly idea but it really has worked,as the students parents are/were our target market.
  5. If I was a UFC fighter and wanted to sound tough,I'd be "UNIMOG". But "Cabstar" might go down well at gay pride wrestling matches. No pun intended.
  6. I think that sort of thing is very popular at Gay pride events

  8. Dad used to give me five .303 rounds for an Owl,good commerce considering it usually only took one .22 round and a bit of time with a Torch. Ahhh.....real New Zealand:proud:
  9. www.buckstix.com/howitzer.htm Pin point accuracy no,smoke flame and fun yes!
  10. Problem was of course,the truck was to long.
  11. +1 for the "Defender Center".I bought my last 110 from them,I came up from London and the machine was absolutley as described.I ran it without trouble and sold it for a profit.
  12. Man I do miss a propper Donner Kebab! "Chips with that mate?" Brilliant!
  13. I target shoot once a week and work out often.I will be doing more fishing as the days are getting long,wellI hope to be doing more fishing in the weekends anyway!

    big saws

    Run a film of grease around the inside of your air cleaner cover,it will pick up the fine dust before it hits your filter.Check it and wipe off the grime and recoat as needed.We are only talking about a film of Grease,not a layer like peanut butter on Toast!
  15. Are the people in their "R&D" department always on LSD?
  16. Been snowing on and off for about 24hours,the fijord in front of the picture has enough fresh water on the top that it often freezes untill mid day
  17. Dam! All these years I've been using brake fluid and sand,is it available in the UK?
  18. I can't see the front portals wearing out faster than the back ones would,should a chipper be mounted on the rear linkage?
  19. Its a sad fact of life in the Uk that your hard earned gear is constantly at risk from theives.Sorry to hear about that theft mate
  20. I sank my unimog to the chassis rails when the chipper's vibrations caused it to sink.All the while I was feeding the chipper with the excavator thinking that the feed tray was getting lower because the hydralics were creeping! Lesson learned:heeeelllllooooo:
  21. Kill joys! When did this start to happen?
  22. Speaks for its self really.[ame=http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxX9-dcJ7NA&feature=related]http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxX9-dcJ7NA&feature=related[/ame]
  23. I think they are the Tree most often found growing on "waste land" road verges and poorly maintained areas,thus they along with vegetation around them considered weeds. It not that often that I have come across mature Sycamores. Be a shame to fell the Trees you talk about though,hardly fit the "weed" bracket.
  24. Man I used to love Wal mart,but I think they spray some kind of weird consumer LSD into the air con? You go in to buy some fish hooks and leave with ten pairs of socks,a garden hose and a alarm clock.
  25. "We don't need no bling..all we have to do is sing" Oh dear.....
