Definately, before kids came along and I didn't really do any sitting about I was 11 stone 2 and like Zebidee! I understand I'm 8 years older now but I feel like an old man compared to then and I didn't go near a gym. To save me searching the thread, what's your daily food intake.

That's cool, so are you cutting with your natural feeling of where you should with experience ?
-
I need to do something, I usually hit the gym this time of year for getting ready for spring but I'm sick of it, it's so boring and time consuming .
-
Nice 1! Personally I feel done in most of the time. I may give this a try, I would need the house to be irradicated from all goodies though as I get bored in the house and raid the cupboards. How much weight have you lost?

Imo trousers are the most important part of Ppe , get a pair of Type A, 36" waist, 32" long trousers, simples Also a pair of protection wellies are good and cheap. Make sure the saws chain catcher is there aswell. A mask for dust is useful aswell.

That's Liam's grandad! He's got over a million hits on utube I'm sure for his 090 oak cutting. -
Do you type with your phone? I couldn't be bothered using the arrows to do each letter with the TV doodler.

You'll fit a lot more in stacking it.

Glug some chain oil inside it and waggle the levers about . Then I'd stick it in for a service , mine cost £60 at my local rigging shop.

I've got a smart Tv, its in the boys playroom. I've started using it for utube to save my neck from the Ipad. How do you get on the forum with it? I launched the instructions obviously

Imo it should be climber, 2 groundies and chipper 1 day. Then 2 groundies, 1 cutting , 1 stacking the other day. This is if the timber is to be splitatable sizes . Second tree looks like a fell or top out and fell. I'd day it was a £700 plus vat job and I'd do it my way in a day with Mog, hiab and chipper and take me 3 tonner with grab and 1 Groundie . If you can get £1400 nice 1. Do not assume you will get other work without a written contract .

Braces under the t shirt if your a real man Overs a recipe for sawdust in the pants
-
Pour some juice on them, preferable sugar free diluted kiora and wipe them on your t shirt, that's the way I Loler mine every 6 months whether they need it or not:)

I still climb prussik and don't do as much climbing, binned going to the gym and rarely climb without spiked on dismantles . Recently I've started using a pantin and ascender to get me up bigger stuff for removing broken limbs, say 40 ft straight stems. Certainly a lot easier on the right application . Still with my prussik on double rope , its alien to me to prepare so much just to get up there when previously it was a throw with my rope and bag, and hump my way up before the boys had fueled my saw lol

Cairngorm was closed due to wind today . Better forecast tomorrow .

Since Hucks admitted defeat in the cut n chuck world it's time for me to come clean aswell. I bought a stein bollard last week !! I have to agree with Adam, using 7-8 ton ish of Mog to tension a rope off a tree growing out a banking wouldn't be advised. Something will give and it won't be the moggy lol!

Crocodile clamp braces here and never wear safety specs. I Just flick the visor up and down and water will go. When its that wet its the least of my moans n groans

I would say a ton going up, a ton going down. So x2, i sm no expert though.

A customer told me 2 years ago , ' you're not Stephen, he's a young good looking guy with long bushy hair !!!'

Sure is, I have my caravan tucked in the woods 100ft from the beach.

Wet and windy here today. Loads of snow on the mountain, more coming in on Tuesday down to Glen Level. This was last night Loads to do, just grab flyers from the shops, cafes and restaurants. Personally we just enjoy the walking with the dogs through the forests .
