    I can imagine the Italians would need to import them as well for sure because they are a very sought after and eaten a LOT! almost everywhere you go you can find something with porcini. Francesca (my other half) just said you were to stop talking about them and just bring them here so she can do a lovely risotto:lol: if i was you i would cos that girl can cook:thumbup1:

    ok i am fed now so i can talk food hehe. Your probably right gerrit but i have on more than one occasion been to a "sagra dei porcini" in italy which is basically an eating party which the italians are extremely good at, this one of course being a celebration of porcini. At these partys there is local guys selling the porcini freshly picked by their own hands so i know its from italy and very local. Supermarkets are always getting their stuff from everywhere else except the local suppliers and thats where your scandanavian ones will end up.

    David Goss replied to bareroots's topic in Climbers talk

    I watched a colleague get splattered with rat blood and guts, while he was shaping the ball of a palm just as the rest of the rat family decided to make a run for it across his shoulders, down his back and out of the tree. He didnt look happy while i was stood laughing my ass off at his blood splattered face.

    I saw ray mears once use a bivy bag wrapped around the cable when he was pulling a landy out of sand once, maybe if you saved up all your old cutting trousers you could use them instead

    tell the truth mark you have been sniffing around that mothers forum again eh:001_tt2:
  21. David Goss
    No pics sorry, only been using them for the last 8 years or so when i started using the poles on utility lines, then i have been in Italy for 5 years. I have only been back for just under a year and to be honest i wouldnt be able to remember which cuts were made by the pole pruners and which by my sweaty body and a silky. cant be using them right then mate:001_tt2:
  22. David Goss
    very true but if you do it right then you will have one person on the winch doing the lifting and another on the lowering rope taking in the slack. So there wont be any dropping of the load. Also for the whiplash of the cable you could set the winch horizontal (attached to another tree) if possible, redirecting the cable with a pully at the bottom of the tree, with some kind of whiplash stopping thing (technical term required) on the cable. this being said you wouldnt overload the cable anyway if you were clever about it.

    Great idea Dilz but we got pipped at the post by sjarthur:thumbdown: We need to find out his prices and undercut him:thumbup1: Seriously though that would be such a cool project to be involved in and my experience and expertise is always for sale at a budget price if the project is this cool:thumbup1:
