she could speak to my bro in law in stowmarket, he loves them, well loved them. he was driving his camper a few years back, had a head on crash and his legs were the crumple zone, nice! 2 years of pins casts and surgery and still has problems. can no longer race bikes or do motox as if he comes off and breaks again, his legs will be well and truly screwed

heres a thought about alcohol, here you can only by alcohol over 3.5% from special shops run and owned by the government, the government controlls the price, the tax and ultimatly makes a killing selling booze, the alcohol shops are also open day time only, close at 3pm saturdays in a bid to kurb alcohol abuse imo things that arnt good for us should be highly taxed, junk/fast food, alcohol, tobacco should be highly taxed, making them more expensive which should lead to either a healthier country, or a richer government

thats a tricky one, i'd quite like to try canada or the states (has nothing to do with the friendlyness of the girls ive met from the states . . .) but next stop will hopefully be somewhere warm, with a beach so maybe NZ

Pollards, the forgotten art-discussion
josharb87 replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
is there a minimum and maximum height at which a pollard can be called a pollard? i know in olden days a pollard was a way of producing coppiced produce with the new shoots out of reach of deer and cattle, but is there now a modern 'rule of thumb'? some modern pollards are called pollards at 30+feet, some modern pollards can be heavily knuckled formativly pruned limes, or are we using the term out of context now? -
ditto, 660sings! its light enough for use in the tree all day, snedding and felling, handels a 30inch bar easily . . .but stick an 18inch bar on, wack the depth gauges down and get ready to :biggrin:

youre kids going to need a rope, prussicks and carabinas too. for rec' climbing, you dont need the steel cored flipline, this is only really used when on spikes taking a trunk down with a chainsaw cutting near (ish) to the flip line. if youre using both ends of the rope to climb on, and are only rec' climbing, you could get awaw without having a side strop, aka lanyard, work positioning strop ect what are you using the split tails for? you will also need a throw bag for the throw line (a weighted bag which you chuck up over the branch, bringing the line back down) maybe a couple of helmets too? get youre lad into good habits!

yeah ive found that too, i searched for 'redtube', but it took me to 'you porn' instead, well annoying

or me . . . both times. id much rather agonising intence pain for my next near death experience than the fear and panic of being trapped underwater . . . fractured skull, broken bones, being in a coma, , , all much much nicer than choking on water, not knowing which way the surface is, being dragged under. still love the water though!!! the rspca have gone ott though

if the address you pick it up from is '3rd caravan on the right' then it may well be too good to be true

damn, i knew the answer too! when felling for the rspb, we felled bankside willows, and with the brash had to make otter holts, although we also used terracotta drain pipes dug into the bank at an angle into the water, straight up into the holt, then used chicken wire staked into the ground, over the brash to keep it all down and tight, then covered the whole lot with turf to help keep it cool inside, and eliminate any light penetrating

had a chain snap on a 660, whip round and wack the back of my bare hand, only the slightest of scratches

if its an inconvience to you, and because of the sized bits, id be happy for someone to come and collect, do everything without me lifting a finger and chuck some beer money at me Suffolk Forestry, welcome to the forum, whats youre name??? i was dragged up in leiston

seriously cool tommy!!!

thinking about it, no, no specific pests or diseases, possibly because of the harsh winters??? dead or dying trees we have come across all have physical factors contributing to their decline, mainly landscaping work, raising of soil levels (which is very common), compaction, root damage ect elms are fine, no DED apparant chestnuts appear fine so far oaks all healthy, bar one we pruned but that i put down to landscaping havent even seen tar spot on mapels! the only fruiting bodies ive seen have been deadwood saphroytes (sp!!!) i wonder if a lack of regular pruning like in the uk leads to a healthier, stronger tree stock? its certainly eyeopening to see the trees here, roadside trees that in the uk would be considered for an emergancy fell, still standing, still going strong, trees on the whole seem healthier too
