These are the Burners I use in the yurts. Top doors an oven and since we've had a flat surface put on top for kettles or pans. They go like a rocket. Made from old gas bottles.

didn't start climbing till i was just shy of thirty. now half way through. just keep fit and supple. stop doing it if you don't love the job.

what is it that causes the irritation. Is it a lichenous dust on the bark or is it the dust created when cutting/chippingthe wood? Rec climbed these loads you see and i've never hada problem. awesome moves, the branches and all so long, twisty turny and strong as hell. Used to call them the bungee tree.

How do you cost after hours work, emergency work costings?
bareroots replied to mine's topic in General chat
I got called out to rescue a cat a month back. I was there for an hour and a quarter. charged £65 quid. It's what a plumber charges for an emergency call out. i though it was fair but my wife thought i was a thieving git. It was after work. getting on to twilight. fire brigade and RSPCA had both refused to come out. Cat had been up thee for two days and was only a few months old. As i got close with treats and cage cat got scared and went out on some tips above a road and wouldn't come in. i got the owner and some neighbours to get out my hedge trimming tarp and hold it underneath. shock the cat out the tree onto the tarp. Now that was one pissed pussy. still it probably won't be climbing a tree any time soon. I think if i was called out in the night I would charge £200 straight up even for a tiny job and then escalate it from there depending on man power, duration, risk etc. -
now then mr turnock. how have your days for mr lee turned out? any more road traffic collisions wih plant? good luck next week with CAT.

what's regarded as a good winch to go for?

as has been said already PREVENTION is the best way. Swimming is even better then a massage for getting aches and knotts out of a screwed back or neck. (although massage is often more fun ) If you're a bit too late on the prevention malarky then try a vibrogym / vibration plate. They aren't an exercise fad. I have seen them turn around several backs in a terrible way (primarily my wifes - probably saved my marriage). What others have said about stretching pre and post work is important as can regular yoga / pilates. As for pain relief, you can mix paracetamol and ibuprofen or paracetemol and asprin since they are from separate 'families' and don't interact. (my sis is a doctor - it's good advice) and it's a good non prescription approach. On prescription you can get 24hr release one tablet ibuprofen which dose you up well and good for a days work. Good luck
