  1. Good call on the cryptomeria Yorkshire Brummie, it's been confirmed! The cones are about 25mm, AJStrees. Thanks for looking, I haven't encountered C. Japonica as often as C. Elegans, so although it looked familiar, I couldn't confidently ID it!
  2. The picture is 2 days old! It's definitely not juniper and I'm relatively sure that is not cryptomaria.
  3. I should know, but I don't. Pretty sure that it's not cryptomeria spp. Thanks
  4. Will check out AirGunForum. Cheers for the pointer.
  5. Can anyone advise on night sights, specifically the Digital Night Stalker? I don't want to be changing the whole sight setup so have been looking at these as they attach to your normal sight, and take advantage of the existing optics. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated, or suggestions for alternatives to consider. Thanks Adam I'm using a .22 air rifle.
  6. Thanks, will look at those today, before it gets dark....
  7. What options do I have to improve the standard headlights, anyone with experience or knowledge? 2014 model Barbarian. Thanks
  8. Hi, looking to hire a small machine <1.2m wide (restricted access) with hedge cutter or flail, to reduce a hedge to 2m height, from 3m. Can anyone help or advise? With or without operator, job is one day, located near Aldershot, Hampshire. Thanks Adam
  9. In line rescue or industrial access single static lines are the norm. Rescuing a conscious or unconscious casualty is done by attaching the cas. to you (the rescuer), lower them onto your system with their system until they are completely reliant on your support. Then you release them from their system and descend. There are tiny haul setups available (casualty pully system) to allow one person to lift the cas. off their descender and allow a more managed transfer, but you need to carry this with you. Worth training for it as it is quite different, especially if your with people who don't do SRT.
  10. All sorted. Turned out to be the Dentex coupling doing its job, failing in order to prevent damage to the hydraulic system. Thanks to Dave at Overland, for his rapid and accurate diagnosis.
  11. Hi, infeed rollers have stopped, proximity sensor is working as is everything else. Has anyone got any experience of this or advice to help diagnose the fault so I can get it running again? Before Monday....? Thanks in advance. Adam
  12. We used food grade veg oil for a number of years but have now reverted to 'normal' bar oil. This was due to caking (like you get on deep fat fryers) and the resultant resistance clogging the pumps and knackering the nylon worm drives. This was with Stihl saws.
  13. Cheap dog lead, works well for me. (Dated pic I'm afraid)
  14. Thanks David. My suspicion was lead by the black parts on the sample. It is explosively brittle, ie push a pointed implement in and it shatters. Not sure what the small grian like things are either? They are approximately 2mm long and separate from the surface on which they're located, as individuals.
  15. Ophiostoma ulmi (fungus) carried by scolytus scolytus (beetle).
  16. Same tree; this bit came from decay on the underside of a root buttress. I suspect that it may be kretzschmaria but I'm hoping to be wrong.
  17. ....except the first picture.
  18. Ash tree. Epicormic growth was not present two years ago. All pictures are from within .5m of ground level, which has not been changed. Thanks Adam
  19. I know little about bandsaw mills but saw this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263158522009 All the best
  20. It should be no different to a good splice, just less bulky.
  21. Not much help for climbers or groundies, but if you have a dog on the team these are worth considering imo. https://www.fruugo.co.uk/seresto-flea-and-tick-collar-for-large-dog/p-17197545-37528761?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9p-d87_b2gIVK5PtCh3CNAWzEAQYASABEgLj_fD_BwE My dog didn't get one tick last year, don't think it was all luck. Just ordered a new one.
