  1. Or what about reduce it and plant another to take its place, then as the new tree gets established fell the other
  2. Feather stick Superb. Can also be used to sing into, clean the toilet and an excuse to spend ridiculous amounts of Money on fancy penknives
  3. Obviously a tank breather issue, would that not be straining the fuel pump?
  4. my thoughts too.
  5. Carrier bags work well as fire lighters, I like the more Eco friendly pine cone option tho.
  6. That is put very bluntly however, I agree.
  7. Nice little vid thanks
  8. Just trying to picture it in my mind- could you not put the croll on the other static rope then you wouldn't have to touch it?
  9. That sounds a good plan, I will give that a try- thanks. I am quite old fashioned n don't like changing from how i was taught with prussic and double rope and it took a while to try new things like the zz, at first I was unsure if they were any better or not. Its hard to judge at first, but I think the truth tells when you go back to old ways and realise how much easier these devices make it, not surprised my elbows are knackered. thanks for the replies guys.
  10. Laburnum is real heavy when you get a decent chunk and hard as iron. don't think its British as such though, maybe European.
  11. Sorry for the slight derail but can anyone direct me to some threads on using a sling etc to move zz further away from you while ascending. Im still getting used to mine and I added a strop to the zz to help me pull the rope through going up then found I couldn't quite reach the zz. What do others use? a strop that's the right length?
  12. what about the rain hitting the wall under guttering?
  13. Mr d Leigh by any chance?
  14. There must be some mistake? I didn't win the sidewinder thingy great raffle for a great charity.
  15. Well jules I would of totally agreed with that a few months ago and I still beleive it is logical however, more recently I have learnt that the main forms of reactive biological defence mechanisms within beech trees at least are completely inactive during cold winter temperatures. As such the hypha of certain sp of fungi, kretzsmaria for one can grow though the cells of beech wood without triggering any host response at all until temperatures rise. Fascinating stuff.
  16. really? I found lots of info on optimal growth temps for certain fungi but really struggled with temperatures that it begins to slow down. Where did you read this?
  17. There has definitely been an article about it somewhere discrediting it for the reasons Chris mentions above. Maybe an aa journal?
  18. Your spot on David, that's the one I have read about, trouble is I have read so much lately without fully absorbing the info I can't remember what I have read and where I have seen it. Thanks that saves me wasting time trying to find it
  19. Is it Paul? I have used him too great guy, great job. Garenteed to be like new or new carb sent.
  20. Very true,
  21. Isn't blushing bracket bracket referred to as a maze Gill fungi? I recall reading about at least two different maze gills? Heads gone
  22. Thanks for that David, I will have a read up.
  23. Is it saprophytic ?
  24. Is that dyers maze gill?
