Disagree totally. Your asking your peers. That does not mean you are incapable, It means you are giving full and careful consideration to a complicated scenario. Most of us have dealt with complicated scenarios and ones that would never come up on a climbing course. You are doing the right thing by asking. Go into it sure but always with the edge of caution and willing to change your mind if the situation merits a change. Be confident and sure. Best of luck. You will feel on top of the world when you nail it.

It is true that round wood lasts and burns longer than shown grain. What you look at as a 2 inch round wood log last for as long as a piece showing a 2 inch split faces at right angles. The grain shown is greater but the heat output will always be with the larger piece (mass). The heat is in the wood, the amount of time of the output differs. The 2 split sides will burn quicker throwing heat into the room quicker even though the round wood may still be burning.

I have a load of Elm 8x4" various lengths for sale ASAP At least 5 cubic metres, maybe more. Originally cut for Fire Surrounds. Best offers would get it. They were cut 2 years ago and have been dry stored with good air flow. I have moved to France but the timber is located near Forres, Moray. My father is in Scotland (doesn't know info about the timber) and can arrange viewing/collection His number is 07544666201. Happy Crimbo

Just did a search for that clark one. Got this link RAM Wedge Hydraulic Felling Wedges | Logging | Clark Forest A big outlay for a non permanent piece of kit. I am impressed with it though. Would be keen on a second hand one, the only way I could justify it.

I saw this scrawling through some french felling clips. You need to wait till he's finished his back cuts. Liked the way he put in his gob cuts. slightly different to how i was taught. takes experience to know that you've got it spot on from one side. Think it is time to try that method. Practice makes perfect. anyways enjoy the vid. PS shout out to Euan Doig, Melvin, John the Chipper King, Kevin Holt, John Mckail Steven Mcfarlane and Jeremy Thornhill, Nick

I got really bogged down into what the "person" means and laws surrounding the "person" and how relevant it was to the human being. Blacks law dictionary 1st Edition PERSON. A man according to the rank he holds in society, with all the rights to which he holds the place entitles him, and the duties which it imposes. A human being considered being capable of having rights and being charged with duties, while a "thing" is the object over which rights may be exercised. Persons are divided by law into natural and artificial. Natural persons are such as the God of nature formed us; artificial are such as are created by human laws, for the purpose of society and government, which are called "corporations" or "bodies politic". Deep but once you get involved it gets really interesting.

Beautiful wood. I love Elm.

Doh was never very good with numbers.

I can keep it in mind as we sometimes travel down to England and in some circumstances we travel back up light so there could be possibilities for a meet up. At least it's not south as that would totally kill off the idea.

Thats qute an interesting idea. I had never thought of that one.

Wedidn't get taught the recovery position on our training course and when it came to the test i had to rescue the assesor as an unconcious casualty. I climbed up and brought him down safely and shouted to the groundsman to support his back when he came down with me. Not knowing i assumed that was it over but the assesor remained "unconcious" (fortunately having done my lifeguard certificate i had done the recvovery position) i proceeded to put him in the recovery position thinking that would be what i would logically do in the circumstances. He opened his eyes and climbed to his feet scraping all the leaves and twigs off his back and said "the jacket, you forgot the jacket", i was however happy that i did at least get him in the recovery position he then turned to talk to the then groundie who was doing a rescue next and he had a big turd on the side of his helmet, i didn't have the guts to tell him but fortunately the groundie did. Both myself and the other candidate struggled not to piss ourselves laughing but did so because we didn't want to put the assesors back up. My advice is remember the jacket just in case of turds.

Well, I have been fortunate with the first Garage that was needing firewood because they are more like a family run business than an oversized shell garage or the like. They seem to understand that it is a time consuming operation. I have done my maths and I don't want to sell them for less than £3.00/bag to the garages - does that seem unreasonable, I know they are sold on for £5.00/bag. I have profited from the lack of competitors being able to get there supplies out over the cold spell. I want to keep up momentum and also make my deals attractive.

Likewise as David Oakman has asked. How does he work it on a logsplitter?

Do you have min buy quantity for that price and any ideas on postage to Morayshire north of Scotland? That seems like a decent buy if the courier costs don't max it up too much.

Hey Folks, I've expanded over to supplying garages and one of the ones I sell to has requested I supply Kindling. The concept is simple ans straight forward enough and I have a couple of lads who work for me that have been attacking the softwood stack but I am wondering if you guys have learnt any good tips that you're willing to share? What prices do you sell bags to garages/public for? With out the use of a machine how many approx bags do you manage in an hour? All info greatly appreciated.
