  1. It’s Saul Goodman !
  2. Not post Brexit for me. I did make the move to Norway 6 years ago. But my missus and kids are Norwegian. Well the kids are Half and half. The rules changed post Brexit, there are ways around the rules but it certainly isn’t as easy as it was when UK was in the EU. Good luck. there was a guy in here looking for climbers to work in Germany.
  3. Nice bit of work for my mates Avant last week. Felling dead Spruce and Pine in a woodland and extracting them with the Avant. IMG_7573.mov
  4. Spent the day skidding logs out. Easy day with the Avant and done by 1300. IMG_7573.mov
  5. Decent sized knacked ash tree today. Riggigged of what was necessary and then took a big top. client clearing up. Then off for an afternoon decoying Norwegian pigeons. nowhere near as many birds as decoying in the Uk. Still we got 11, so a couple of dinners.
  6. Walking in the woods today after a pack walk with 3 other Jämthunds yesterday. The big boys pull like a train. After todays walk she didn’t want to get out of the truck.
  7. When I was working for SL Treecare. Steve had one of them chainsaw winches fitted to an old 044 saw. Pretty capable machine and we pulled some pretty heavy learners back into the woodlands around Brands Hatch and West Kingstown and local villages. The job was for the cycling road races for the London Olympics. The trees had to be gone for the helicopter tv coverage. It was one of these.

  8. Whats wrong with using it 2 handed... apart from the fact you are an Eco rebel?
  9. I've been high clipping for eternity. Sometime I leave the saw running, (CB on of course), other times I turn it off. Never burnt my arse yet. The only thing I have every done like that is burn a hole, just to the side of my nether region, with a Petrol hedge trimmer.

  11. Horse Chestnut.
  12. I just use a fat old bina. I can clip and I clip one handed very easily.
  13. Good afternoon. Sorry sir, I slept in.
  14. They do look pretty smart. I was on site with one the other day, fully wrapped in company livery.
  15. They are all over Oslo area. Due to the fact they are electric and all the perks which accompany EV’s, loads of tradesmen are renewing their 3 year old transporters with the ID Buzz. I see multiple ones daily. They are pretty cool looking but I haven’t driven one yet.
  16. I’ve been stepping up things with Kira. She getting bigger, as they do! Got hold of a Moose leg from a hunter friend and have been setting trails in the woods next to my house. She has found it every time. Got the missus to set one in the dog park and and her at it. She found that as well. happy pup.
  17. Thanks for the suggestions. Been a very rainy period here in Norway and we haven’t had many real hot days since. Any other suggestions or confirmations from other members?
  18. Morning, I was round at a friends house last night and they have a number of plum trees growing beside their driveway. The trees look generally in good vigour and have very little deadwood. She prunes the trees regularly and there’s a decent harvest of plums. The owner asked me why some are starting to go mouldy? Is it a form or fungus affecting them? I am far from an expert in pest and disease in fruit trees, so I thought I would pose the question here. Any help is appreciated. I have taken a couple of pictures. Some leaves are starting to wilt and the fruit start by initially going purple before the mould sets in. Any ideas on the cause and the treatment going forward. So far she has been removing the affected fruit when she notices it. The had a half a bucket full a couple of day before I was there. TIA.
  19. Not sure where that myth comes from. Most travellers in the area I lived and worked for 17 years, drove around in the best vehicles and charged way more than some of the legit companies. Nothing was cut throat about it.
  20. Hey Erik, Welcome back. That CT foot ascender you sent me a few years back is still going strong. Cheers.
  21. No. He will be on a covert mission searching out Taliban leaders in his Series 2 Landrover.
  22. Wow. Thanks for posting them. I had to have a very long look at the first picture to try and make out what was/had actually happened. Modern medical techniques are amazing. I wish you all the luck in the world for the rest of your recovery. If you don't mind me asking, where you a member of Arbtalk before the accident? If not, what prompted you to start this thread? Good luck.
