    Years back working in Cambridge for a scientist who was on one or many spectrums- “any chance of a cuppa tea?” ”oh, er, yes, I’ve only got red tea, is that ok?” (Diddnt know wtf red tea was) “yeah sure” “I’ve only got goats milk, That ok?” (again never had goats milk) ”yeah ok, you got any sugar” ”yes! Brown sugar….” I took a sip, and tried to hide my disgust my colleague took a sip spits It out “THATS FCUKING DISGUSTING, WHAT THE FCUK IS THIS SIHT!” (followed by vomiting gestures)! in front of the customer

    quite ok for a retard to make mistakes 😉 husqvarna backhandle, can’t remember the model maybe my sharpening is just so awesome it’s no effort for the saw?!

    Good for you. luckily for me then all petrol saws I’ve had the oil outlasts the fuel tank

    From one retard to another, the battery outlasts the oil

    A battery saw would probably be great for hedgelaying, I’ve an older husky battery saw in the van, used for pretty much everything but tree work though 😂 it’s very “convenient” to use. Just need to remember to top up the oil.

    The thing is gender doesn’t matter. It’s that catch 22 of no experience at this stage. just need luck and persistence, small things help like heed the advice to ring rather than email -harder to ignore/say no! (but yeah, I’ll agree with doobin and excels1or, it is embarrassing how these threads go)

    Impressively, I reckon your meme bank is bigger than my vvank bank!

    Go for it! as long as you’ve got a unique selling point or specialist niche be it being a frigging awesome climber, unique equipment or something else that only time or a ton of money and risk buys to set you apart from the million and one other established, experienced tree outfits in your county you’ll do fine otherwise I’ll echo what the rest have said, and be happy scrabbling around fighting to be the lowest of 10 quotes for a mornings hedge cutting

    Tbh I diddnt realize vanlife included caravans, I thought it was more people converting regular panel vans to campers, maybe ready made ones like a transporter California at a push or is “vanlifer” used as “traveler” is generally associated with pikeys? not interested in buying your own plot of land as a base?

    That’s not living, that’s existing imo fair play if you like it though

    Whichever you get don’t scrimp on attachments, get a few straight away
  15. josharb87
    Yep, get something for sure! why’d you think a digger would be better?
  16. josharb87
    Can’t have your cake (living cheaply in a van) and eat it (permanent place, skipping contributing to society etc) eggs, naive to think so tbh. good for you for doing the van life, but you’re on wheels for a reason
  17. josharb87
    What’s the avant/multi one equivalent?
  18. josharb87
    Check out park4night some places are official sites, others are nice spots people have parked up and got away with it if abroad some countries it’s perfectly legal to park up for the night somewhere public

    Just buy direct from Scandinavia, the pounds strong, better quality timber easy to put together (done it a few years back for a mate)

    ”The cheaper guy”

    I liked the stihl, even brought a second when the first died, then when the 2nd died I got the echo fantastic saw! it’s what stihl should have produced. get the tesc model and it’ll come with a narrow bar and chain, which as joe said is a must. 99%sure it’s just a rebranded sugihara bar.

    You sure the engines running flat out? my old one the rollers would be spinning 5 times faster than that. I do seem to/want to remember that the rollers crept with no power like that when revs weren’t all the way up.

    Banks are money grabbing barstewards who definitely do not have their customers best interests at heart. Even their customer advisors are geared up to earn the banks money rather than advise what’s best for their customers. but that’s another subject
