That Marlow three strand is brilliant for natural crotching, takes it far better than posh rope. Natural crotching is brilliant full stop and anyone who disagrees is a philistine. Cow/clove hitch with a slippery half hitch, Mick. Probably cow.

Have you ever used a self-tailing one?
-
75-80mm ish of parallel drum before it flares.
-
Harken 46 from a kosher GRCS. 125mm from bottom of red ring to bottom of lower self-tail jaw.

Do you have patreon?

You don't want it to start up in reverse next time you use it either.

£1200 for an off the peg Harken sailing one. Be sitting down when you look at what Honeys want for a kosher Good one on the backplate. I want to get to the bottom of the drum height thing. A chandlery that cast their eye over mine identified it as 'not a standard sailing one' and in fairness the sailing ones do look a little shorter. Have you got a Harken 46 on your homebrew one? Measure it if you do please.

Eucs and leylandii are like peas and carrots. I did a lovely can-you-just in Birmingham where the client wondered whether we'd have time to also remove ten or twelve, 8-16" DBH conifers in a line. Considering I had just made the last brash cut on a neighbouring eucalyptus with a perfect craning point, we said yes and Hobbsed them all the way to the bank. Did my first proper job with my proper GRCS the otber day. Lovely thing. It'll have to be a rough, rough job for me to get the Hobbs out now.

Blue marker pen. Got to be blue. Makes me feel all engineery.

Beef stew on an army cadet camp. Large piece of aorta.

Is it just an American movie thing where the tearaway gets given the choice of prison or the army or does that actually happen anywhere?

Bar length is largely a climbing/grounding thing. Climbing you're staying clean so sharpening isn't in issue as much and you can't as easily get round the far side of some things so a big bar to reach through is what you want. Grounding basically the opposite. Steep ground that Rich just mentioned is similar to climbing.

Save a few quid by wearing it on the plane.

I assume they've passed MOTs?
-
Are they legal without the the C for commercial on the sidewall? I don't care, just interested.
-
Is there a year or serial number you need to get a later one than?

Eucalyptus Tree dying off after pollarding??
AHPP replied to Julie123's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
That's a good point and an interesting idea. -
Oui, monsieur. Deux milles Euros.
-
Aye. Sitting out to shoot thieves is probably illegal.

Firstly, consider my reply as mine and the other bloke's as his please. Right, read what you said. We weren't talking about good reason to acquire guns on licences. We were talking about the normal law of self-defence. You can do whatever with whatever if it satisfies the normal requirements (reasonableness, proportionality, imminence etc). You're basically right about self-defence not being good reason to acquire firearms, for normal sportsmen. Example: You're a small woman out pigeon shooting with your wheelchair-bound teenage daughter. Five big men with knives burst through the hedge, tell you they're going to rape you both and kill you both and then they all lunge at you. You can shoot them. You go home and apply for a licence for a pistol for self defence. You probably won't get it.

They are.

First day taking him to work. Rather easy. We had the run of a basically empty farmyard. Not expecting climbing to be as straightforward.

The silly title and stubs aside (and in fairness at least some of them are left for a good reason), I found this quite relaxing. Nothing mega mega. Just a guy taking his time on a nice day. Not thoroughbred educational material, just pleasant watching.
