  1. Were you on comms at the time?
  2. My trusty old shin sticker. It’s used for lifting logs. I’m told It needs to be lolered.
  3. You can’t do that with battery saws. The brakes don’t go on hard enough. I’ve tried.
  4. I’ve tested it with known volumes of water. It’s good enough.

    Wrong person. That’s peds. I usually have an army of groundsmen. Or at least kids being shouted at to drag faster.

    I’ve dropped my pole, silky and watch, all without noticing for a while. I’m pretty paranoid about dropping pulleys and saws. Usually have them double clipped so they can’t be. My pole would hurt. An ISC impact block from sixty feet could smash a collarbone or push your head into your neck.

    I’ve never broken a greenhouse with a falling silky but I have been aware of the possibility of doing so. Is your mate CL by any chance?

    I’ve got one of those twizzly chainsaw strops. I hate it. Bouncing saw always in the back of my mind (even though it doesn’t rebound like that), hard to grab and slip and makes me look like a tackle tart. It came in a bundle of stuff.

    Oh aye. Store a load of kinetic energy in a bungee connected to the thing that cuts on the pull.

    Your little finger will evolve that way if you don’t put the smartphone down. Mine often does the same. Addicts.
  11. Good. You usually horrify me by cooking like a school dinnerlady.

    That nice young man Zaccheus on YouTube wears his on his shin. Great idea I thought. Have been too lazy to implement but can’t see why it won’t be better.

    What Mark J said plus another bit of his wisdom I’ve been benefitting from for about a decade. Gaffa tape a strong magnet to the back of the scabbard. Has saved mine falling out several times.
  15. Backplate with visor and ratchet strap tails in the suitcase (I use three ratchets instead of the stock spool). No bar, no bollard. Didn’t tare the suitcase. I can see why you’d think this is pointless when you can just look up the weight but humour me. What’s on the hook?
  16. 7” btw. For if the wife asks.
  17. Were they talking on helmet comms?
  18. Won’t do later. Bolam’s done a good job just now.
  19. Short but doesn’t fully explain what retrenchment is.
  20. As it happens, I am pretty good at that. Will do later.
  21. You didn’t have time to write a short explanation so you wrote a long one. Anyone think they can do it in 10% of the words?
  22. God this is bullshit. How long until the presence of a heater will be enough to classify a vehicle as sufficiently luxurious for higher rate theft?
  23. I did the stump in part to push buttons.
  24. Come forth, @woody paul and claim your prize. 210kg on the nose. @peds. Get in the sea you loose lipped wanker.
  25. Good idea. Could protect/disguise one on a mule too.
