Listen to what Mark said below.

While i agree that's the smarter move, the milf client never wants to blow the groundies, so hey ho.

Yes, you can use a dmm ring to avoid rope on rope contact, if you prefer. Apologies, just realised the OP was intending on using it solely for base tying. Just adding more to go wrong.

You're still ring a knot with a quickie, dickhead. What's your preferred retrievable canopy anchor?

Just get a Quickie. Simple and works.

You know we're in agreement Bolam, but when you were "full time climbing" you were using an 020av. Don't bullshit us.

You've got the gist of it, that's exactly what happened. Why don't you think it will be any better? Anyone who's ever used the stock setup vs the stihl one agrees it cuts quicker and smoother by a good margin. Try it. It's not a massive expense.

Evening Mick, I'm so glad that I can be the one to enlighten you. This type of situation requires a certain level of special. I was field-stripping a saw that wouldn't oil. Suitably a 2511. Traced the issue back to a worn worm drive, which required removing the clutch to diagnose. To check that if I'd rectified the issue, i span the clutch back on and hand tightened it best I could. Didn't bother putting the side cover back on. I wanted to see if the oil was coming out of the oil hole in the clutch side. Started the saw up and revved it, with the clutch pointing upwards. The clutch promptly span itself back off and into the air. Instinctively i tried to catch the spinning clutch mid-air and burnt/sliced hell out of my palm/fingers. When i dropped it the sod span off over a car park and into oblivion. I put the outboard clutches back on differently these days.

Agreed. Where does the liability end though. Can the new owner be held accountable for the previous owners choices? AFAIK the only way the council could enforce a replanting is through litigation, which they would have to prove to be a justifiable use of taxpayers money. They would have to be damn confident they would win and that litigation would be in the interest of the general public. Horrible optics if not. Personally I wouldn't have mentioned and thing, and wouldn't volunteer anything further. Don't do their job for them.

How does it feel to know you'll only have achieved the first one?

Reckon their pretty safe in your wife's handbag

Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough mate

Get some carrot sticks involved. Solid snack

It'll be worth it to see your willy again though.

Power line: contact DNO and they'll either drop the line for you or do the work for you. Phone line: buy a couple of BT junction boxes, snip the line inside of the tensioning wire, unwind and stow. Reconnect after. Make sure it isn't fibre before you snip.
