Have a look at barrow bags, they're about the size of a wheelie bin, and designed to be moved about when full by a sack barrow.

To only get 4 or 5 uses out of them, what are you doing to them? Are you loading them with logs then dragging their arse across tarmac? Are they being handled by machinery? I've some bags that will have been used dozens and dozens and dozens of times, and they're still going. I imagine storing them in direct sunlight (UV) will shorten their life. Something else you could try would be wheelie bins.

Looks like a good bit of kit. Will I still be allowed to sleep in the house if I spend £230 on a grease gun

It always amuses me that they are called "eco" plugs, as if they are some how saving the planet

I thought the luck money was the other way round, they (the buyer) haggles you down really really hard on the price, then throws spare change at you when they leave for "good luck"

IIRC they built a narrow gauge railway to Beauly, to get the timber to the mainline. (not from Drumnadrochit, somewhere closer) Ps great thread resurrection, wee Jim hasn't even been on the forum in 3 yrs

Stainless steel flask. Who remembers the "death rattle" from an old thermos.

Don't know anything about the make in terms of reliability, but from looking at the pictures, doesn't seem a good machine for splitting rings. I would want a decent table and log lift

They got an anonymous tip off about a large quantity of drugs wrapped up in cling film and taped to the propshaft (it's the last place you'd look). After 30 hours of the road being shut whilst they search, it was discovered that the vehicle is a front wheel drive.

Not road legal, but you can get self adhesive number plates, stick this on the back of a normal plate https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STICK-ON-NUMBER-PLATE-REFLECTIVE-YELLOW-ANY-TEXT-FREE-POSTAGE-UK-SELLER/113778134879?hash=item1a7db48f5f:g:SFcAAOSwnZFc~lx4

I can see a business opportunity involving 2 lads from Cumbria, megabus tickets to Suffolk, and a pallet of used block paving.

Difflock, have a look at Kreosan on youtube, he has a channel with English translation, mainly blowing things up, pissing about with electrics, living off grid etc https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClUZos7yKYtrmr0-azaD8pw -

If you've got bigger diameter logs (maybe over 1 foot?) You can make 4 bore cuts down from the top, then 1 from the side near the bottom, and lift out the middle part which should be a long square section the width of the chainsaw bar. Then you can light a fire in the middle with kindling, and keep adding small logs. Not very easy to describe, don't think I've got any photos on the computer

There's an old saying “Indian build small fire, stay close, stay warm, White man build big fire, stay warm gathering wood, feeding fire all night.”

Interesting, it's not something I'd heard about before https://forestry.gov.scot/support-regulations/felling-permissions "You may fell: 1. Up to five cubic metres of timber within any set calendar quarter [1 January to 31 March; 1 April to 30 June; 1 July to 30 September; 1 October to 31 December]. This exemption does not apply in native broadleaved woodland between 0.1 and 0.5 hectares inclusive, and Caledonian Pinewood sites." Which seems a bit strange? If a woodland is say 1 acre it needs a felling licence to do almost anything, but if it's 1.5 acre, you can fell 20 cube a year?!

I'm not a solicitor, but without a doubt the hatched area in the pic is a garden.
