Useless hairdressers car Put a jumper on! They are no good for towing, apparently you can only tow one horse with them. SAm

I'm a cold weather chap like the above. As long as my ears are warm enough then I'm all good. Two pairs of gloves to rotate at lunchtime, if its melting and soaking your hands. Happy days. Sam

Hi mate, I did actually, infact I thought it was the best COD until the second one! I dont know about the cheats and things, to my knowledge I didnt come across them, but I might have done I suppose. I would say get MOD2 when you are finished with BlackOps, IMHO its a much better game - especially the multiplayer stufff Sam

Thanks guys. I will go for the TCD approach I think, it wont hurt will it, and I dont need the saw for work straight away. If you read the post then you would know I dont own the saw yet, wouldnt you? All the best, and thanks lads Sam

Terrain? - Low lying wandering? Cheaper boots. My preferance is for High hunting boots though (Meindl Dovre Xtreme) - Hill/Mountain? "Mountain" Boots, 3-4 season, Meindl Glockner GTX. For me anyway, try them on first BushWear - Outdoor clothing shooting and stalking equipment for Meindl boots. Sam

Yup, Have been for a year Thinking the same as the above. Sam

Ray Mears has forgotten more about living off the land than most of us will ever know. And he can shoot Bears Grylls is a tool for more reasons I care to divulge, but here's one for you 'Mors Kochanski' now there was a bushman. His books are amazing, he has been there do it, invented stuff to make it do-able, and got the t-shirt. Living legend What have I do? Two weeks solo canoe camping in Scotland for the past three years. Grew up in the woods as a kid, hunting, trapping and rearing pheasants. Deer stalking in NW Scotland in January every year (COLD). Survived being English last saturday in a Scottish agricultural college. Sam

A Stihl/Husky etc will be better. But if your trunk is 1.5m (I think I read that right) across then an extra 3" of bar won't make a huge deal of difference. I would try and get a proffesional with a MS880 or similar out, or try and find a saw of that size (48" bar or more) to have a play with for a few days. But hey ho, thats just me Good luck to you, theres no better firewood than free firewood Sam

Hello Chaps, Looking into buying my own saw rather than stealing the old mans Having used both of them at college I'm having a tough time trying to choose between the two above. It's going to get used for pretty much everything but mainly commercial felling,soft and hard wood, coppice work and all the snedding etc. that goes along with it I think it boils down to the weight V power issue again. I'm not really sure what I will end up doing with it, and I can't afford multiple saws for different jobs so this saw has to cope with it all. No climbing work but felling (forestry stuff), coppice work, snedding, cross cutting firewood, and maybe some arb work too if I get the chance I know its a close call and I'm not being very specific, but your rumblings would be much appreciated Cheers lads, Sam

The RSPB turns the public against "evil" gamekeepers/landowners/farmers, and yet has people shooting crows, foxes & Red, Roe, Fallow and Muntjac on the very nature reserves it verbally attacks thoose actions! Sam - Conservationist who eats things.

Ten years ago a crack fungi hunter was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the arboriculture underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...The Hamadryad. DUM DE-DUM DUM, DUM DUM DUM, DUM-DE-DUM DUM DUM DUM, DUM DE DUM-DUM DUM.

He is a legend. "It’s the closest thing you can feel to being kissed by God", some guy, he will be missed, even by the likes of me who only surf when they can, and thats not often enough. Sam

Thats it. All thoose "log miles" are pointless. We need to be keeping British firewood merchants and British woodlands in bussiness Sam
