    We have only had agriculture for about 10,000 years. You need to be thinking "hunter gather" not "cave" man Milk, spuds and grain are very new on the grand scale of things. I love bread and spuds, but hate the way they make me feel. I lost weight hoping to loose the bloated, lethargic feeling I get, but its was not weight it was diet, if I fast I feel great. I'm hoping cutting carbs will give me the great feeling all the time not just when fasting, time will tell. It may be that some cope with carb better than others, if your happy as you are great, I would like to feel better than I do, so will give it a go

    Every thing looks worse in January, give it a couple of months, the days will be longer, the grass gets greener and everything looks more positive

    Yes, but I think the problems were available quantities of food plus pests and decease. The theory is we are not really evolved to digest and cope with the modern high carb diet, hence celiacs and lactose intolerance.

    Everything that was available before agriculture.

    How can there be different 3/16th files, they are either 3/16th or they aren't

    I would probably anchor into the other tree and then dismantle the crown in small chuck-able pieces, I very seldom rig any thing.

    If its stood up to the recent gales I'd climb it, but that does not mean I'm recommending you do.

    You get a tool that sits over the teeth, you just file them down to the top of the tool, or just do it by eye, you want them 25 thou (thickness of a thumbnail) bellow the teeth, do one counting the file strokes, then give each one the same number of strokes.

    The thing that I can never understand about these threads is that the very first thing I do when arriving at a private call out is agree the price. I'm not cheap, but think I'm fair, I have no idea what the customers expecting it to cost, so I give them a price, they can then take it or leave it. They can't start arguing once the job is finished and they know your not just trying it on, because you gave them the choice to accept the price or not.

    No weight loss is not really the aime, I lost about a stone and a half, a couple of years ago, by fasting a couple of days per week. Its the bloated, lathargic feeling I want to loose, plus I have high blood pressure, and I've read that fluctuation blood sugar can be a contrabuting factor.

    This sounds facinating! I'm going give this some serious thought I really enjoy my food and eat out a lot, what you do with a steak? Get two and drop the chips?? What about beer, is that out, being made with grains??

    Oh I don't know about that Who wants their old man telling how to do things, I try to let him find his own way of doing things (obviously watching to see he's safe) ofter his saw training he told me I was doing it all wrong I'm a big believer in every one having different ways of doing things, you need to find a way thats works best for you, we are all different. When my dad was an apprentice joiner an old boy told him "theres 99 ways of doing a job right and only one way of doing it wrong":thumbup1:

    Just stop buying it and simply use up whats in.

    IMO, learn using a file guide and once you've got used to the correct angle and depth just use the file without guide. Once you get the hang of it you should find you can get a chain like a razor within a few minuets. My son was taught how to had sharpen on his weeks saw course, he is doing just fine and its does not take him long to do his 550. Its a great skill to have and much quicker than messing about with electric grinders.

    There are chip boilers, which require quite specific chip, due to the arguer feed and wood boilers, which cannot burn sawdust, unless you wish to burn your home down (as someone I know did) There may be huge systems that will deal with mixed crap like sawdust and bark, but there not the smaller mainstream type boilers being discussed here. If some one could come with a smallish boiler that would burn mixed crap or even arb produced chip, they would make a fortune.
