    Type c is pole rescue on your own system. Type d is pole rescue setting up a system for the casualty

    Could do with some more detailed pics of the fungi. The guttation droplets make me think Inonotus dryadeus. If you can get a slice of the fruiting body that will aid a positive ID.

    Conifer from last week. Shame it ripped out a bit would have been a bit better!

    Go a bit gentle while it's cold but once it's warm then treat it as normal

    I was working in a bit of a tight corner in the workshop. Tried t step past a brush round the corner of the workbench and didn't realise how wide the brush was. Full weight on it and thwack right on my cheek below my eye. That was 2 weeks ago. Left a graze and light bruising. Still tender now. Reminded me if a cartoon seeing birds and stars

    iPad mini. Don't need retina display, bit over £200. Spend £60-70 on a lifeproof case for them and you'll be laughing. If you have an office 365 subscription (120 for 5 devices) you can get Microsoft office on all the iPads and an office computer/laptop and everything syncs, can put it all onto one drive and it's all online backed up as you save it.

    i went from airstream to zermatts, both great boots, zermatts a lot warmer in the winter. Lot chunkier though, may go back to airstreams once these wear out! I replaced my airstreams once i started tripping over the flappy sole, 2 years but the first 9 months were light use!

    cheaper to fix

    I wouldn't say thats a landrover problem, seems to me a low maintenance problem. the 300tdis are pretty good engines on the whole. We own a landy and an isuzu, a navara before that. They have all had their own problems, the isuzu is the new d-max, but has had minor problems already. Each to their own, land rovers are cheaper and easier to fix, japanese you need to plug them in before you get close to fixing. Then parts are expensive generally. Overriding all that, regular maintenance and having some mechanical sympathy should prevent a heap of problems anyway.

    The GTW can't be mixed and matched. Ie if you have a 3.5t truck and a 3.5t trailer you can't put 2.5t on the trailer and 4.5t in the truck.

    You would get a perfectly level hedge though

    It's cold and wet?

    About 27k now. Done a mix of work and plenty towing. It is a good towing vehicle if a little low and light on the back end.

    I find it can take a bit of clutch work to get them moving when dragging some weight. You'll get used to it. Plenty revs and gentle but steady with the clutch. Don't want to ride it too long but it needs a bit to get going without stalling!

    Depitox 200ml to a knapsack and glyph 400ml to a knapsack will clear a lot of stuff.

    Did a job at a steel works today. Bit of spraying in exchange for some sheets of steel. Asked if they had any off cuts to keep in the workshop, I got shown to a skip full of all sorts of odd sizes and shapes and told to help myself. Now have a nice pile of different sized sheet metal.

    Pay someone else to do it?

    Does anybody hire these out? I have the need for shifting lots of logs and brash on a long drag so could do with a micro arb truck instead of just a muck truck. Cant quite justify an arb trolley just yet. Anyone near me with anything?

    i got some clear cans a while ago, i think they were oregon, the stihl anti spill spouts fit on them and the can is half the price of the stihl one
  23. RobRainford
    Let me know when your gonna be nearby and I can sort them for you

    That elm is fantastic. Although I have been given a table that's already made. So a milled slab will have to wait

    Does it help if he doesn't wash them first?
