  1. @5thelement What did you eat the other 6 days a week?
  2. Sure But you are convinced eating so much meat has never been normal at any part of our evolution. I would say that meat was likely the only constant in our diet as animals of some kind were available year round. I live in Norway, foraging is pretty much a waste of time. If you want food, you shoot it or catch it. Farming is more or less a non starter on the West Coast. Fun fact: Wild Reindyr has three times the omega 3 of Wild Salmon. Its so good that it can sell for £130 per kilo!
  3. Only if you order a Jumbo
  4. What did humans eat during the ice age? Ice cream?
  5. To be honest,some of my best big tree reductions were performed after enjoying a "Jamaican Woodbine".

    I found one on the net for him,sent him a pm with the link. Its an off the shelf item in Germany
  7. I worked on one that had eaten a big Rock,it ruined the rotor.
  8. We used to have to deal with North American Hornets at work. We had a bee keeper helmet and would wear ski pants and jacket under rain clothes.Tape our cuffs and ankles ,climb up and swiftly bag the nest in a bin bag and then come down. Normally we would empty a can of spray into the bag and that would be the end of them. Once a customer used a can of aerosol thinner instead,it was a particularly large nest so I wanted to keep it. I put it in the workshop but unfortunately the thinners just knocked the hornets out for a while and the next day we had a shed full of pisssed off hungover bitey flies.
  9. To be honest they might spice things up a bit around here. Especially with their " Saber like" slashing stingers.
  10. Ffs. Once England ruled half the globe,yet now you soil your collective linen at the prospect of some " bitey flies?".
  11. I can't think of much worse for towing than a van. Honestly,you are increasing the wind sail probably 70% to a pickup,no low box and family sedan running gear. Maybe if you are towing your flower stall to the Sunday Market?
  12. How many people use that loophole though? Tree Surgery & Market Gardeners
  13. Do you still drive a Unimog?
  14. Did your listing include the terms " no bark on the logs" or " split dried timber only put it in the shed round the back?". If not,you are missing the largest need for us.I suggest you edit your listing.
  15. I have a Warn 5000lb winch on my Jensen. Had a winch on there since 2010. Hydraulic would be grand for many winch cycles but electric works for me.
  16. @josharb87 had one for years,hope he can chime in.
  17. Pics of my old Jeeps. Sold both to England.
  18. I don't know,maybe they had alot of that too? They took the turrets off them and filled them up apparently
  19. Sure ,but what else we're they good for? They tried to turn them into crawler tractors but they used to much fuel. There are many that were filled with concrete and pushed into river mouthes to try and stop the river from wandering.
  20. In the 1960s my dad worked for a scrap dealer cutting up M4 Sherman tanks.Each one is worth about £200K now.They also cut up Bren Gun carriers,dad bought one for scrap value and kept it untill the 1980s. A family freind still has the Chevrolet truck that dad sold him on his farm to this day.The climate in New Zealand is really kind to steel in Canterbury. I have had a couple of Willys Jeeps,all original WW2 examples,fun toys and miles ahead of a series 1 landy
  21. Some of their recent data skills have been used here in Norway to Rob people via their smart phone. Three of them drive around in separate cars with some kind of device which jumps into your bank the moment you log in via smart phone. The cops are vague on the exact details but it's UKE nationals and judging by how the cops handled the seized devices its pretty secret stuff.
  22. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for D.A.R.T. to spring to the fore! Rumour has it that have been operating behind the lines in Bahkmut driving uparmoured cabstars pruning away low branches from important supply routes
  23. I tell them that Trees cause cancer among children, or blindness. Which ever I think they will most believe.
  24. I earnestly believe you are lying. Your outburst is sad and amusing in equal measure. Now that you have nearly £5k worth of work booked in,will you post a link to the advertisements for the equipment you are selling? There's a good chap.
