i went to work in the woods when i was 20, i was super fit as i used to train all the time, was used to grafting all my life with my dad and i had even completed the marines 5 day trial at lympstone. but i have never been so knackered climbing over brash in huge chainsaw wellies trying to carry a saw, wedges,hammer,lever and lunch box. it was a nightmare. it didnt help that i had just passed my tickets and thought 'i am going to be a lumberjack' i used to spend all my time running up and down mountain sides going for another saw to cut me out, they thought i was like a mountain goat. i lasted 5 weeks, what an experience though. thats why i became a climber, but i learnt so much in that time although i didnt realise it at the time

well done mate, i looked about for you but couldnt find you to say goodbye. take your time with the vt and stick with it.

foresters, its obvious mate, that is why there are so many tree surgeons:001_cool:

i was trying to copy it today for tying off my pulley, even with the pic i struggled, so a big wrap around and a timber hitch did the trick lol

nice one andy, very rarely i do anything with an 88 except cross cut windlown stuff. but years ago i did a lot of roadside oaks, the bar was 36inch, it was always choking up. i was felling above fence line, so it was a struggle for me to hold the saw so high tbh. i wish i knew that little tip back then mate

i would charge 500 quid and get a team of firewood heros to clear my site for me as we worked. and if they are good boys they can take the sawdust aswell. so i would get 3 men for free and a truck and fuel thrown in aswell.
-
100quid TIMBER!!!
-
sweet idea mick, i would go for the woodland idea. if you are making a recycle centre or woodstation then there will be a lot of paperwork and money to spend, and you will end up with everyones crap and fly tipping everywhere. buy a wood and run arb events like richard did at the weekend. look at the contacts that you have now at the touch of a button
-
if i hadnt sold my mog on here then i would be banned aswell, make sure she knows this is business aswell as pleasure:lol:
-
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!my missus is always looking over my shoulder:ohmy:
-
it would be hilarious if that little person had curly hair:001_tt1:you are right, we did all head off about 11.50pm. the fact that i had been awake for 43 hrs might of had something to do with it:sad:
