Not my photo, this is apparently in Pennsylvania, USA Seems safe!

Beautiful spot hidden away in the woods, camped the night to finish it the following day, went for a cycle to the chip shop and a pub, it's like a busman's holiday. All the timber (Scots Pine) came as thinnings from the surrounding forest.

Just to bump an old thread! Cheers for the suggestion. I bought 2 Haemmerlin barrows brand new in 2022 That's the first one now, the tyre has cracked/perished and sprung a leak. Now replaced with a Kenda 6ply trailer tyre and tube Cheers mun

Over the years I've been on and off with both AA and RAC, often you get a cheap price as a new member, then a year later the renewal is a lot more, and you can cancel and switch to the other company. (and even get cashback too) Broken down plenty of times, always in vans, usually sign written, sometimes with trailers, and it's never been mentioned about me not having the "commercial policy". Maybe I've jinxed it now!

I may have told this story before... A guy I know had an old motorhome, think it was his first time going away in it, he was heading up north somewhere. He stopped at the garage and filled it right up, think it was a petrol engine in this thing. He keeps heading north, fuel gauge is showing empty, thinks it must be faulty gauge/sender. The bloody thing runs out of fuel and cuts out on him going across the Dornoch Bridge!! https://maps.app.goo.gl/RY5kY1VWNWtx2tTa8 So he thinks wow this thing has terrible mpg, he's not long filled it up. He decides to thumb a lift to a garage. Gets 5L of petrol and thumbs his way back. Takes him all day, he looks pretty dodgy stood at the side of the road thumb out, jerry can in the other hand. Finally he gets back to the van and pours in the petrol. Just as the last drop goes in, he spots a sticker next to the filler cap saying "water". He had been filling the camper water tank up with petrol!! In the end he phones up a family member to give him a lift to get more petrol!

Sadly not 3ft, but worth watching for the headwear alone

2-3ft diameter wood for firewood, Husqvarna 365 https://logsandsaws.co.uk/product/husqvarna-365-power-head-only/

From memory, the Husqy 435 and 440 are near enough the same saw, the 440 is just a bit higher tuned. I had one, think it was the 435. It was fine, fairly plasticy as you would expect. Got replaced by battery saws which was a big improvement.

Simple, hold the work piece in your crotch. And hope for the best.

Looks quite heavy duty, but doesn't look very ergonomic to use. I saw one in use, they had 1 lad operating the controls, and another lad loading logs and putting his hands in by the wedge!

That was close! ‘A miracle’: Tree traps man inside a machine, misses him by inches WWW.WSMV.COM A Lawrence County man walked away unharmed after a tree crashed through his skid steer windshield and pinned him inside the machine during a land clearing job over the weekend.

It's 4yrs old but barely been used as it was a 2nd charger for when the main one was busy. Smell of burnt electronics. The main charger is a QC500, 6yrs old, has been used a lot, and still works fine Plenty of stories online of QC330 chargers dying. I wonder what is wrong in the design, they seem to have a very high failure rate.

Time flies, been using this for 5 years now, great strimmer 535iRX

You any good at plumbing? My mate in Edinburgh has a wee job for you
