Yes,took the Meat home to Norway.Its no hassel taking a gun around Scandinavia either. The Forest is not so remote,where we stayed it was just flat and forested for Miles.Its like the reverse of Rural England,instead of Feilds you have Forest.Think of it like that.

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to go Hunting in Sweden. We hunted for four days and took a total of 10 Roe Deer.I was fortunate enough to shoot two.One with my Shot gun (and a Cartridge that turned out to be older than me) and the other with a Rifle. The Hunting was done by having the Deer Driven with little dogs.They chase the Deer round and round and if one Runs past your Stand then you shoot it.

How about Terminating the Winch Rope with Replaceable Ferrules and using sliders and Chains.It looks like you have knotted the Ends of the Cables? Replacement Ferrules

Stripping your Saws daily is a waste of time IMHO.Its a bit like changing the Engine Oil in your Truck every Week. I clean the Bar Rails and Flip the Bar each new Chain,Check the Air Cleaner Weekly and clean as required. I have alot more important things to do than fettish about with my Saws.

Haha! The Bricks are Red Oak arn't they?And the Morter is of course Lime.

Exactly.The more time you spend worrying about clowns like these,the less time you have to develope your business.

What Engine does it have in it?

Yes mate,same thing.well worth the Money.I have a Gas burner for it as well,but to be honest the little Meths burner it comes with is better for Cans of Stew. Storm Kjøkken is what they are called here,but your right they are made by Trangia.

I have a little spirit burner called a "Storm Kitchen" I cook up Tinned Stew when its really cold.No hassels from the customers so far.

I lived in Kilburn for a couple of months. There was an Elderly lady who used to haunt the Buss stops claiming her Bag had been snatched and she needed a fare home. She got me once,and the rest of my flat on the same night:lol:

I have a minimum charge of about 160 Pound.This weeds out the little jobs or chancers.

How did he waste your time not choosing you? If he had followed you around the Garden wearing Bra and Knickers Pinching your Bottom you likely would have not wanted to work for him. Choice goes both ways mate.

Does not get enough Oil usually.The needle Point that comes with some Grease Guns will work when Greasing the Tips of Bigger Bars,some Big Saws have a manual Oiler too.

Drill the end off the Rivets with a Drill larger than the Rivet Head.Punch out the rest of it,then slide off the old Tip,slide on the new one,then Hammer the Rivets Home using the new Rivets supplied with the new Tip. Its a good idea to do the Hammering on an Anvil or other suitably Stout Surface.

All very good advice.Especially when it comes to Customs.

Let your fingers do the walking Find Local tree services in Vancouver, BC | YellowPages.ca I just called everyone around where I was staying.Worked for me.

Shame,I'd be well up for that if I was over. I even have a fetching shooting vest in Powder Blue.Save it for next time.

I was told that Sthil Hand made these Bars,wether its true or not I don't know.
-
Nah it was Pants. Long Bars usually run Full Skip Chain,Full House Chain is to much even with a 088. Here are what the terms mean. Chainsaw Chain, Sawchain information for Chainsaw Mills from Procut Sawmills When I was Logging in Canada we used Full Skip Tri File,it was the Muts.

Consider bringing it to the job for the Clients use.Then they bring it back fueled up?
-
Fair enough. But six days in a City you don't know,vs the Pacific Coast and the Redwood Trees? Car hire is stupid cheap in the States,accom is reasonable.I'd rather see small town USA,have a few Beers with the locals and see the only living wonders in the World.

Looking at a first Unimog - Advice please
Mike Hill replied to northumbriaforestry's topic in Arb-Trucks
The best advice I got before I bought my Mog was.... "If your not mechanically minded or you have a trusted mechanic used to working on them a Mog is not for you" Sounds like you would be better served with a Tractor and Crane Trailer,you won't have any stress with Vosa by the sounds of things and Tractors are hard to break and easy to fix. Having said all that,if you must ,your money will go alot further in Germany.Or buy from a reputable dealer. -
72" in the biggest I have used.

On the up side.You are now capable of "Extreme Spocking"
