Sorry to have to tell you mate, that's got nothing to to with your weight, unless you're saying you're so light you couldn't descend!
-
Absolutely, and fat people make me sad. Go back to ddrt, and you'll only weigh half.
-
You're also having to pull twice the weight.

Chipper major mechanical failure, warrant???

Best of luck mate, the national view of immigrants hadn't improved much! -
Reading this a coupe of things spring to mind. Three first is that a couple of people on here have watched FMJ a few times too many. The op basically wants to justify having the closest thing he can to owning a pistol to ward off the hordes of degenerates waiting to rape and pillage his household and leave a turd in the sink. The second is that anybody breaking into your house just want some quick cash. Tools, teles and your porn stash are replaceable. why would you present yourself as a target by shooting somebody with a pop gun? Personally if really felt threatened if he using the nearest blunt object for self defence, rather than a barely effective weapon that I've got no training with under pressure. You'd be as likely to press the mag release as pull the trigger. Awkward.

The reason why this country is going to the dogs. People rely to heavily on food and water.

Where did you get the 40 bars from?

Aus dollars

There's a point that's always made me wonder with people who keep workers on a full time self employed basis. If you won't commit to them why the hell should they commit to you?

If I was local and they could be straight felled I'd do it for nothing if I could plank the useable timber and leave the rest. The chances of you getting a tree removed, cleaned up and ground out for the firewood are pretty much zero I'm afraid.

Exactly. How much has that employee made for your company. I wrote off a company truck a good few years ago when I was PAYE. Totally my fault. Friday afternoon and just plain not concentrating. I felt awful, but pretty much nothing was said about it. Maybe because I'd worked hard for that company for around 6 years as their crew leader and wasn't known for recklessly breaking shit.

Balls, I thought I was being subtle. Did an afternoons milling last weekend and now I'm hooked.

Could've done with that a month ago mate before I spent £300 with you! How about buy an ecomill and get a 42" lo pro bar and 2 ripping chains free?
-
This is the best I've found. Cheap, easy and long lasting. Keep a few spare in the truck. Bananas for carbs and then homemade trail mix in a Tupperware. The mackerel has its downsides though. You become unpopular in the van, you have to dispose of the foul smelling tin, and if you eat it off your pocket knife without properly cleaning it you'll discover the winner of viral gastroenteritis vs sleep. The prize is a set of bedsheets.

Keep the file perfectly flat too. I knows they recommend a 10° upward angle but the chain will lean slightly in the bar when filing to achieve that anyway.
-
I've always used a file guide. Very difficult to keep the depth of the cut consistent otherwise. Make sure you maintain downward pressure as well as backward. Most of the poorly shortened chains I see have sod all hook on the teeth. Never understood why people buy expensive pro saws only to do a crap job sharpening them.

Wire rope winch on steep slopes

Where are you based Peter? Sounds like you could solve your problem with basic rigging and mechanical advantage knowledge. I'd wager you could get a decent haulage system for under £200, capable of lifting 200kgs. Quicker than a tirfor too. -

Not the chains fault mate, I blame the piece of human waste that knocked the nail in. I was just a bit upset, I'd hoped to get at least one sharpen out of it. The Sugi bar is much better than the oregon one, but still less sturdy than the full fat ones. You've just got to treat then accordingly

Let's not forget spikes where applicable. Always amazes seeing experienced climbers on dismantles pulling themselves back up a stem.

I've remembered it, its called medicine.

one thing in favour of homeopathy is that it goes hand in hand with Darwinism, and our species gets more intelligent with it.

there's a term for homeopathic remedies that have been scientifically proven. It will come you me soon.
