There used to be Reindyr as far south as modern day Germany. If European's could have sustained themselves on risk free fruit,vege & cereals I think they might have stayed put. Genetically we are identical to them,it's just we convinced ourselves on what constitutes a balanced diet or really what some companies can make a buck from.
-
So should you. People migrated North to Scandinavia following the Reindyr herds as the ice retreated northwards. Genetically Europeans ate alot of meat. They became farmers in more temperate regions to secure a steady food supply as populations grew. Interesting the UK hasn't produced enough food to meet its needs since middle ages.

God bless diesel

All of that wasn't available consistently for humans 10,000 years ago. Unless we all lived in Equatorial regions. Did you grow up in a Hippy colony? Was you Father called Neil?

@5thelement What did you eat the other 6 days a week?
-
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!

Only if you order a Jumbo

What did humans eat during the ice age? Ice cream?

To be honest,some of my best big tree reductions were performed after enjoying a "Jamaican Woodbine".

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.

To be honest they might spice things up a bit around here. Especially with their " Saber like" slashing stingers.
-
Ffs. Once England ruled half the globe,yet now you soil your collective linen at the prospect of some " bitey flies?".

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?

How many people use that loophole though? Tree Surgery & Market Gardeners

Do you still drive a Unimog?
-
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.

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.

@josharb87 had one for years,hope he can chime in.

Pics of my old Jeeps. Sold both to England.

I don't know,maybe they had alot of that too? They took the turrets off them and filled them up apparently
-
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.

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
