  2. Welcome to the website of the BIOMASS Energy Centre hope this helps
  3. i guess so bud, i could ask the boss at the end of the week. the only thing is that it cant contain rubbish like coke cans garden rubbish etc as theyll reload the chip and dump it back off at your yard and charge you for the truck fuel etc. we use eddie stobart
  4. there great bits of kit, theyve been around for a number of years, for vehicles bogged down in sand etc. would be an idea to bring into the arb world if not all ready
  5. i maybe completly wrong but couldnt you start up an animal charity. a bloke i worked for a while back lived and ran his business and had his wife run the charity ( ducks rabbits etc) sold logs and chip and lived next to a farmer. Basiclly she had resuced animals and sold them on with huts straw feed etc. just an idea
  6. i saw the doc on tv a couple of weeks back, from start to finish. they had to stop work a couple of times due to high winds ,above 40mph i think it was and that was just halfway up. would be a great thing to have on your cv. being 1 of 3 to be at the top finishing the job off lol i think i also heard that so many lower floors are open to the public or the top i for get now and each apartment is in the millions!
  7. At work we keep all chip out doors, and i think its once a month, a couple of arttics come and collect it for the power stations
  8. lol that spider can take some abuse

  10. aye seem the right bit of kit, but have another look around im sure theres other cheaper bud
  11. aye the strap is just to secure the pad on to the wound, instead of trying to wrap a bandage around it. think there use of the word tourniquet is to be use lightly. but what you bought would do the job for everyday injuries bud
  12. Thats why i said not to bother with a tourniquet unless uve recieved the correct training, and to just apply the gauze and ffd
  13. http://www.rei.com/product/770185/z-medica-quikclot-sport-50g something like this, have a look around as i got mine for about £9
  14. the etd or ffd (first field dressing) will hold up to a pint of blood. by the time youve got your self together and started to apply it you would of lost a fair amount already. the gauze that i have is pretty much the same size as anormal gauze, the only difference is that it clots the blood aiding you some more time. placing the ffd on top would be enough even for a severed limb til you got down on the ground place a second dressing then the emergency teams should have feet on the ground to sort you out. If you was to hit an artery it would spirt out like water from a garden hose on jet mode. for those moments id have a quick clot gauze and ffd if i havent already gone in to shock. and from what you linked, a tourniquet is to be placed above the wound not on or under it. itll do no good. anything above an inch (unless its been changed) will also cause more of the limb etc to die. if you havent done a course in how to apply one id leave it alone, as applying it can cause further injury or death.id and just pack the wound stemming the blood flow. a good and cheap quick clot gauze would be from Z-MEDICA a quick clot sport mesh bag that is for temporary external use. You only have to control the situation til the medical professionals arrive. i guess theres others out there but its just a case of looking. o dont buy any military quick clot. its far stronger and if not applied directly into the wound it will burn through skin, giving you more problem

  16. get the gauze bud. u apply that 1st then the ffd
  17. lol and isnt it out of date. i did my 34 not to long ago and im sure it was a later edition
  18. its the same with 020/200/201t's because you need the tickets to buy there able to go for half if not more of the price of a normal 201. ive been scouting around and the amount of sellers discribing that a tophandle is great for logging up your fire wood ready for winter etc is unbelievable and a massive miss sell of the equipment.
  19. to place the cat it must be at least an inch above the cut, and to recieve training on this ud have to go a first aid course that surplies this. going on a 1 day/3day course wouldnt cover this as ud only learn basic 1staid. try st jhons course. ive not heard of any civvi courses teaching the use of this. I was luckly enough to go on a team medic course and MRA (medical regimental assisant) in the military ie i could apply cat, drips, deal with shot gun wounds missing limbs etc etc if i ever get my old laptop working ill post all relivent info. just remember that when and if you need to apply compressions etc that the governing body changes the amount evry year or couple of years. at the min you dont have to give breath if you dont want to, just continue with the chest compressions til emergency help arrives.
  20. ive unscrewed them so i can place 2 rings on the bridge. it already had locktight in the threads. so once i was done i simplly replaced the locktight. everythings great has ive had 3 loller inspections on it aswell as all other kit and its passed with ease. its a great lil harness for me and havent had any problem. i wouldnt worry bud
  21. If youd want to save more weight only have the side walls halfway and 3/4 back board and have a water proof fabric as the roof
  22. no im fairly new to the area bud
  23. Yes bud,oadby way, I currently work for lcc, do my own private work and setting up a tree section for a landscape buddy.
  24. ill ask when i see him at work bud, hes just had a plate put into his skull so its good and bad days. and no hes not on here. from what ive seen its the same out come to artruck. whats it going on? transit 4x4 etc
