Aware you're probably busy with the build (not to mention all the dogging, transgender gimp keeping, vegancentric, sex-positive fruit sports and similar degenerative pursuits) but I indeed would love to see more on this thread.

I've often thought this when confronted with the dogma of the branch bark collar pruning cut. Why not stub off a branch at ten inches and let the stub rot rather than the union? Because it looks shit obviously but otherwise why not?

Tradesmen who buy their children GAP outfits and playstations but don’t pass on practical skills absolutely appall me. Raising generations of poofters.

Is there a thread with more of your machine on it?

On further investigation, their website is shit so the prices could be whatever.

Solway Board sounds similar to Stokbord and is cheaper.

Stokbord if that helps your Googling, Mick.

That’s a pic supposedly showing 6mm. Does indeed look ideal if it’ll take machine weight too. Would bend round shed edges and roofs nicely.

That doesn’t follow. If the conservation press is to be believed, just about all the reds are facing those frustrations of not being able to establish territory.

I’ve been meaning to buy plastic boards for ages. What’s thick enough to run a micro skidder on and thin enough to bend round a house corner?

I’m great at fixing stuff with whatever’s within arm’s reach. Guess how often I do the full fix. My entire life is the bungee cord on the chipper throttle.

I always find it funny when shooters etc are giving it the big one about being custodians of the countryside, killing greys to protect trees and let the reds back in. I bet the reds are just as bad for trees.

Wear crocs until something better or some money turns up.

Stacked well.

You can probably tell I’ve never owned a dual wheeler.

On a dual wheel truck, has anyone put mud terrains on the insides and road tyres on the outsides? Perhaps the best of both worlds for performance and hides the probably unrated ones a bit. Sounds funny I know but so do lots of things that work.

Quite. And how is my 5’ tall, 75-year-old mother going to reach the bottom.

Made this earlier. The machine just about stays four wheels on the floor with my meagre 11 stone on the back. That puts it at just over 250kg on the pallet. Haven’t measured volume yet. Guesses? I’ll make another tomorrow and see how they stack.

You are an impressive legal resource. Theft Act 1968, s 3(4).

I almost always use a big pulley for a main point and a ring for a redirect. The ring adds just enough friction that if you drop the rope, it won’t pull itself to the top of the tree but not so much that you can’t lift stuff. Buy the Pinto Rig as well. You can use it as a predirect somewhere before your main point to build your system into a strong shape. Or as a spare redirect. Or on the base of the tree instead of a portawrap; you put the portawrap on truck/machine and can drive that to lift stuff. Or you’ll find yourself taking it to make a little mini system with an old climbing rope on small stuff. I don’t know what you mean when you say, “16mm shouldn’t take that much friction.” Nice double braid rigging ropes (like Sirius) of any diameter won’t thank you for natural crotching them. Three strand like the white Marlow with black flecks or probably the green polysteel on ebay will just go a bit hairy and make you look like an old school boss.

A mate has one of those. He loves it.

I keep a bowl next to the front door and insist incoming visitors put their keys in it. Most of them are young and haven't got a clue. They soon learn.

Well if he will court disaster...
