  6. i was having a conversation with some mates on the gamekeeper course at college annd we came to the conclusion that no gamekeepers and foresters get on professionally not just for scarring the birds but how they want the woods managed its fine if one or the other are in charge but if they are both under an estate manager it will just cause arguments as both want what is best for them

  8. we use an articulated ferrari at college and is perfect for this same size as 20hp kubota but 35hp and ways a tonne it has no trouble pulling out anything wwith in reason even huge lumps of cord that u wouldn't expect a llandy to touch and it being an arctic means its more manouverable in the woods and less prone to tipping

  19. we are taught to light fires at college with a coke can full of petrol soaked sawdust however i have set myself on fire many a time playing with petrol i find the best stuff to poor on an already going fire chainoil as it takes more to ignite and lasts longer
  20. if u have wooden sides theyll just come through them to get the small stuff our container had the covered expensive padlock and they just took a disc cutter straight to it and if you make it to hard to open the doors they'll just oxcy a whole in one of them this hhappened to a local scrap marchant
  21. storage containers may be bomb proof but certainly arn't pickey proof i know someone in horley who runs a self storage wherehouse which is in the middle of town so plenty of people to keep watch and someone near dorking who has a whole farm turned into self storage which is very secure as most the units are purpose buiilt if either are of interest pm me and give you there number
  22. the engelbert straus one is great it has a zip out lining for the summer far to many pockets and it even has slips in the side to put gloved hands in rather than the top entry pockets and its only £19
  23. i would recomend an alpibne tractor over a quad as they have more weight to put the torque down and have a fair few horsies under the bonnet also the centre steer versions can drive into some ridiculously tight corners and are so easy to reverse a trailer with over a quad plus they have rops
  24. someone i know supplies all his guys with them to be kept in a kit bag and writes out a risk assesment to say they don't need them then every time they get audited they are there if the auditor has a go at them and they don't have to stop work to go and get a pair
