  1. What are you wanting to do with the felled trees? Sell as lengths? Process into firewood? Chip? Mill into planks? Something else?
  2. Can you weld?
  3. I know. That’s why I suggested he makes sure he knows how elastic his rope is and plans his pulls accordingly. My mother tells me things I’ve just said myself too.
  4. The polysteel isn’t a recommended pairing or whatever but if it works for what you do with it, it works. The Rolls Royce for static stuff is braid covered dyneema like Novoleen. If you want elasticity, any arb rigging rope will do but try to pick one with a less waxy outer braid. English Braids are waxy and Yale actually have a waxy coating option. I have a Marlow that works nicely on a capstan. I’d investigate Marlow, Stein and Teufelberger in that order for a replacement. On winching, make sure you know how elastic your rope is and plan your pulls accordingly. Sometimes you want static, sometimes you want elastic, sometimes it doesn’t matter.
  5. This has always been a great thread for Aspen Bob’s lads but you’re pushing it towards legendary status, Mike. I’m afraid I’m uncharitably pissing myself at your misfortune.
  6. Shepherds’ warning.
  7. You two have fun.
  8. I've been a Grand Master since the last forum software update but nobody's turned up to fag for me.
  9. I've often wondered whether arbtalkers at the APF should signal their sociable intent with some piece of identifying clothing or accoutrement, much like leather fetishism dresscodes but less spanking etc. I'll probably have a camo bag with a pink ribbon on it. People are welcome to say hello.
  10. An ex girlfriend bought one of those. Fabulous thing. Way better than a Grom.

    STHIL MSA 220 T

    They feel better in the hand than a 160t and if they cut the same as a 220 backhandle, they'll be great. I've not looked into the switches/modes though. That could be a big drawback.
  12. You'll need higher resolution photos for the Logbullet brochures.
  13. I did remove 'try to' from my post before hitting submit, only because it made the sentence cleaner. Solidarity. I have observed the ovine instinct.
  14. Do you let it bush out low to keep sheep away from the river?
  15. I allude to the villainous and insalubrious nature of Facebook.
  16. Someone on facebook was selling four. Good luck. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date.
  17. Sturges v Bridgman is English but is about local characteristics, similar to the Roman urban/rustic divide you describe. It’s just the case that came to mind and struck me as comparable to any zoning that alters thresholds or standards in lex/wrongs/tort. If I was writing about it, I’d see how many different jurisdictions have something similar.
  18. I’m obliquely interested in the law and more interested in how you would discern what the law is. Go as deep as you like.
  19. I see. I’m curious how you would go about finding out? My first enquiry would be Sturges v Bridgman AND some Roman or civic system keyword into a database and hope for a journal article.
  20. What was the little Scots bit?
  21. Thanks. Bore me as much as much as you like. I have a reasonable feel for English law but know very little about Scots. Anything will help get my eye in.
  22. I share your frustrations with Stihl customer service btw. They changed it from Camberley to Greece in the last year or so. The one time I called them, I talked for a good minute, detailing a problem I’d had and asking very specific questions about the fuel injector on a 500i. “So is this a chainsaw you have a problem with, sir?”
  23. Are you forcing it through the cut? Where are you? Some kind, local soul might look at it.
  24. Do you mean time immemorial, i.e. 1189? What's the earliest caselaw that accepts it as the law?
