Great Guy, I really enjoyed watching that, cheers:beer:

MSR are the one of the leading companies in these products, I have one and it has never failed me, made a cup of tea at 6800m in Nepal using petrol. They do a large range of products now. There multi-fuel range will run on any liquid that burns; diesel, petrol, turps, mephs, white gas, aviation fuel. This is very useful as your not tied to trying to find one fuel and obviously petrol is always easy to get hold of. Only issue with them is that they burn very hot and are great for most foods but can be a problem if you want to simmer rice for example. Used mine just yesterday in the Lakes boiled water in under a minute. MSR® Stoves, Cookware, Tents, Camp Towels, Water Filtration, Hydration and Snowshoes.

bought a wire rope for the big leaners that need pulling back with tractor, work feels a lot safer now,
-
I have been using an old 14mm double esterlon the last 12 months, with a SWL of around 550kg and therefore MBS 5500Kg. As you state when pulling with a tractor there is a good reason for it and therefore there is zero room for error. It gets used for heavy pulling atleast once a month so am wondering about the cycles to failure. I would like a rope I can feel completely confident with and not be wondering when failure is around the corner even if I need to buy a huge rope!
-
What rope would you recommend for pulling Large Trees with a winch or a tractor. I was thinking of a very large rigging rope but if continuous strain is placed on the rope or accidental stress is placed on the rope due to an over keen agricultural contractor in his 220hp John Deere before an appropriate back cut is completed I pressume the cycles to failure will become an important factor?

Vicki has also worked for me on several short-term contracts when I have required extra staff. Vicki works consistently hard for any amount of hours and if the contracts I undertook had continued I would have definitely offered her a full-time position.

Has your death grip capabilities come from natural strength or from consuming lumpy mash potato for your lunch I will be excluded from your death grip as I don't care for my English heritage (tumble weed)

I bet no one steels your lunch if it looks anything like

This is located on an approx 200 year beech about 15 feet up, looked a lot more orange when first viewed, photo seems to make it look more pail.

Can I choose the bits to be removed, or is that decided within the management of the NHS

Too easy, the job is for the council so I will get there groundsman on it . Not sure why I did not think of this earlier as on some domestic job felling crack willow I have gone over with a mower a few times.
-
I am in the process of cleaning up after felling 30 large pops on to a football pitch. Timber for firewood and branches for chipping have been removed, and am now left with half a pitch of twigs, is there an attachment that can go behind tractor that will rake them up easily without damaging pitch. Manual labour is on standbye.
-
lucky escape, a few years ago when I worked for local council as a Ranger I strimmed many a log by mistake. Its amazing how many people relief themselves so close to public footpaths or actually on them, I used a perspex face guard for obvious reasons:sad:

Hybrid Pop, 100 tonnes in 3 to 6 meter lengths, 6 to 22 inch diameter, offers please,
-
The bulk / builders bag is the greatest firewood trick of the 21st century, I know many people who sell bulk bags at £50 including me, and like you say when you do the maths it is only 1/2 a cubic meter, looks a lot more though does'nt it. How ever mine is Kiln dried so I don't feel guilty.
-
Mine have done exactly the same thing, solution needed
-

Looking for 2 x chainsaw / chipper operators with CS30 & CS31. Must have own transport . Will be hourly rate up to 12 hours a day.
-
Worked solid for 8 hours with no breaks, mr 3 days a week I love the way people assume things from photographs Brash was cut from logs and immedately removed and chipped when it dropped, logs were left where they fell as grab truck, came at end of day. Whats the point of double handling everything with manual labour when a crane is on its way?? Logs that fell on drive were thrown back on top of wall to leave drive clear. If you have ever worked with Peter for a day you would realise that you don't get more than a few seconds to remove anything as he is so damn fast. . I know you have heard this all before but... the photos don't give the tree justice 4 1/2 foot dbh and 8 foot accross at buttress.

Why is it that valmet and fendt etc are always used in forestry work, obviously you do see John Deere's etc but is there other specific reasons,
