A man I met on a chainsaw course was wearing an ankle-tag. He told us why at break-time: He'd hurt someone badly in a burglary gone wrong, his dad gave him in as it was an old person trying to defend his home etc. As soon as he was out again he found his dad and shot him, the first day out of prison. Fast forward a few years and here I am, in a wood with this guy who's been handed a chainsaw to aquire some skills to help him fit back into society after his holidays at Her majesties expense... I made sure to not annoy him.

Personally I'd go for a 241 or 261 because they're "pro" saws. Built to work, all the time. and I know you suggested some smaller saws, but it's always nice to have a bit of extra power just in case. The 201 will prob be a nice saw to use considering the 200, but more expensive and less powerfull, more of an expert saw for more frequent use perhaps. If you just want a saw for ocasional use, the 180 was really rather good and I have one that just goes on and on and on.... (not sure about it's latest resurrection though) Good luck.

Awesome, looks like something I really aspire to achieve. But how on earth did they get in the cab? and how will they get out again?

Really? Surely that'll never catch on!!!

Bad luck mate. I suppose you shouldn't put your faith in a Rover V8:001_smile:

Our old pony had suddenly aquired a plait in her mane many moons ago (I'm not old, it just happened when I was very young) and the next day..... It was stolen. The whole mane, and the tail were gone! The useless pony was still there though. There had been an article about horse-hair in an "alternative oriental health" magazine the week before, or so we were told later.

Nothing wrong with your voice mate, it does what voices do doesn't it? It does sound a lot like your reading a script though, rather than actually meaning what you say? Good feedback doesn't lead to improvement, just bolsters your ego.

Nice looking little tractor.

Sorted, not sure I'll make it though.

Same here I'm afraid, it's on the list of stuff to do when I've got some time to spare....

Barley most likely, and yes it is a bit early, but not very early. It's just that the year always goes by quicker than you thought, in a "that time of year already?" kind of way.

you could just do what these buckles are meant for, have them on a bracelet, if you have a paracord bracelet you'll have one of those whistle-buckles and a length of emergency paracord. Or cheaper stil....... learn to whistle.

can you not just replace your existing one with one of these, they cost very little. Whistling buckley strap thingies on fleabay

How is it relevant where the pictured dog lives? 20k is quite easily achieved when you try and calculate the value of replacing like with like in mature trees, include aftercare etc. Dogs can be trained to do lots of things, not just because they think it's fun, try and explain the difference between a vicious guard dog and my house-hound, both Alsatians? My dog is trained to catch sheep without harming them, would a dog do that for fun? No, it would not, it was tought to behave like that. Dogs cause many thousands of pounds of damage to trees all over the country every year. Hang the owners, re-home the dogs.

I envy you, but please don't tell my wife.:lol:

What about using some 2" plastic water pipe around your bar?

Awesome, bet that made you smile the first time you drove it! If you do "a little bit of forestry" why do you need such a big truck?

Do you find it easier to work with than the heifer then?

You've employed a heifer to power your machine park?:lol:

From that listing: It needs to oxidize, to solubilize (I thought the term was dissolve?) and further on, after it's told you to hammer as much nails in the tree as you can, it goes on to say: Cover nail heads with mud, if necessary. The purpose of covering copper nails with mud is to conceal the nails. Copper has a tendency to show quite plainly in the trunk of trees due to its bright coloring. Covering the nails makes the process less obvious with a casual glance and can preserve the look of a yard as the tree starts to die. Using mud to cover them, though, will not completely hide the fact that something has been done to the tree. wich to me is clearly aimed at those with less than honourable intentions?
