  1. Short term outlook indeed.Price it lower and lower and then push themselves out of business when they realize it's not worth the effort. Tried the cut to custom length game last year,but most my customs log stoves so always ends up six inch to 8 inch. All we can do is supply driest wood at best price for largest load.I don't sweat it too much now anyway, my families been around since the thirty's in this game so we have seen It come and go in fashion for donkeys. Just been spliting larch for past five hours and without gloves can safely say those little spliters sure are a pest lol.
  2. oh heck no lol be nice if we could tho.i meant that basically theres few people round our area selling hardwood for far less than its worth selling themselves short,thus making it hard for the larger suppliers to charge decent price for it without losing custom.
  3. Be cheaper to get extra pair of hands and lift them.Or hit the gym lol
  4. What's that got to do with anything?Do explain further
  5. your all rich up kendal way tho hodge haha.If I do any loads hardwood £75 is highest I ever got.Me and dave could easily raise our prices however we know fine well what other merchants are shifting it at round here and unless they match prices with us we would Lose custom to them everyone ends up working at a low rate because of this.Everyone round here needs to up there prices together then we all may start making better wage from it.

    Larch

    I'm down in barrow may soon be up in lindal tho.
  7. It's why I dnt bother with hardwood anymore dave I got so angry at customers wanting it at rock bottom prices only stuff I have is off takedowns I've done and that usually goesto my old man .Us cumbrians should be preaching softwood more as we have an ample supply up here.I always have loved larch evn for burning at home.
  8. Sadly so,I'd love to charge more but I'd never get customers.It's a sh1t sarnie really.Average price for load of hardwood round here is £60 a "load".Think I'm in wrong area of country.
  9. update so far shes comin together real nice,now to refurb wheels black and carry on with roll cage.

    Larch

    been preaching larch as firerwood for donkeys.Don't fear the softwood folks!.
  11. its fair price per cube here in cumbria that!.If charged 70 quid cube for softwood get laughed right out the door. And yes you can easily buy larch for that price with right contacts Alycidon.
  12. pm sent
  13. all my mates who went to uni are still flipping burgers
  14. where you at in northwest ted?
  15. Pulling a grand a week lately.should be an interesting winter.Was dirt poor last year.How's everyone else doing? Hope sales keep booming fellow loggers.
  16. i do alot of the big ones like in the last picture,great party pieces.Problem as raised above people are selling them too pricey.Softwoods dirt cheap and takes few mins to make,no point over pricing them and selling none.
  17. Haha taste dosnt even factor into my life.Food serves one purpose to me,to fuel me thru heavy ass work outs and gruelling graft day in day out.I eat luke a caveman. Thumbs up on monster! My one sordid addiction haha.Works absolutly amazingly great with creatine.Watch out for cramps tho.2scoops of creatine mono hydrate and one monster,Used that last night and hit an all time high bench of 165kg without wrist wraps or bench suit. I recommend any gaspari products there size on. Is absolutly fantastic stuff can't preach about it enough
  18. Haha got it in one lorry.Nasty **** great for maximum fat loss but sure can screw your body up Defo on the right path there mr Blair,chuck bit of honey in with the whey and water shake,some quickly digested carbs of the natural variety are best for repleneshing lost glycogen levels and help aid repair.Plus can't preach honeys benefits for health enough.

    Weight loss

    Spot reductuon may no longer be just a myth,somthing to do with the muscle using localized fat as fuel rather than fat fom other areas,and somthing about the higher blood flow surrounding a working muscle gives of slight thermo effect(I was never a believer personally lol)I'll have to try dig out the science papers it was from. And visceral fat or fat surrounding the organs is actually one of the harder ones to lose sub Q being the easiest. Damn at four percent at work you would be incredibly ill bodybuilder have gone into shock at such levels,lowest I got was 6 percent and I could hold a coin in the cuts in my thighs when I flexed at that weight.If measuring by calipers they are incredibly in accurate. Carb cycling I found incredibly effective.And even gave zero carb a shot,items to react better to fats,and at the end of the day fats don't actually mKe you fat it's all about those carbs.Remember folks no such thing as an essential carb we were designed to live off fibrous greens, lentils, fatty meats and protein.Not oats wheat rice pasta or sugars.
  20. Whack a few I.U's of GH into you and watch your nub grow haha along with skeleton,gut,internal organs etc etc lol
  21. You want cheapest one which mixes with zero clumps,the clumps don't get absorbed properly. You want a fast digesting protein such as whey Before and after workout with any form of simple carbs,I am a honey fiend so always have a whey shake with water and tablespoon of honey after workout.During daytime and nighttime you want casein protein,much slower digestion. I found Aloot of shakes had Nasty flavourings and sweeteners in so any which hasn't got these in is good in my books.Avoid egg protein and milk protein powders as you just shat it out again.And keep away fom soy protein as it encourages estrogen production. If I want egg protein I just boil 20eggs and mince the whites up with some yoghurt and honey in a blender.I prefer making whole food shakes personally.I'm trying to get to sub 6percent fat again so at Moment my shake is handfull ice cubes and either two chickn breasts or lump of steak mince in blender for few mins and knock that back haha.Add fruit juice to flavour if needed,two or three tins tuna water and orange juice was once a Staple of mIne haha.
  22. Apart fom facebook I don't anymore I've given up I cannot keep up with demand.What got me there? Good old word of mouth! Sell a good dry product at a nice rate (not too cheap tho) and you will do okey.
  23. bump.Anything considered full days, half days, weeks, weekends and evenings.
  24. That's why its all i sell bud.it seasons alot faster as well i find, i can put more in yard as well as cheaper to buy in. its generally easier on my equipment too.Softwood to me means more profit.And i see it as being more sustainable for firewood purposes.
  25. Tis all we have ever supplied.
