How did the two interested party's fair ?

I enjoy the science of tree work, biology and mycology side of things, and I miss the team work and a good climb but I don't miss being wet through and with fine saw dust stuck to my face in the pelting rain or chipping all day (talk about robotic non intellectually challenging!).

Working for myself has upped the enjoyment definitely, working for someone in the tree game is a young mans game, getting put through the ringer day in and day out for a tuppence out the other end is an issue this industry needs to get a handle on, there's no job longevity as an employee.

 

My observations.

I would agree with that ...

Many factors , financial , job satisfaction , poor employee/team relationships etc can quickly sour your passion for the job . This gets harder the longer you spend in the industry and as you get older . There comes a time when this will have to be addressed or will end up hating the industry .

This sounds like a very good description of what it was like in Vienna . Way over the top , uncontrolled and dangerous. The narrow streets and high rise buildings compound it even more . There was a stupid woman across from me just lighting bangers ( and these weren't no amateur ones )and just chucking them between parked cars , on the road etc without a care .I honestly thought my windows were gonna cave in and my 15 months old son was terrified . I'm no killjoy but it was ridiculous ..

Perhaps in your country. It's barbaric and you should move with the times.

 

Drag hunting is the way forward and keeps everyone happy and legal. 👍

I agree ... Unless it's for dinner 👍

Yep. Keep up, hunting with dogs was banned. Years ago!

 

Fox hunting is included in that.[/quote

What ? Hunting with dogs is perfectly legal ? Didn't you know that ?

Great post mate.

Take comfort from that Stihlmadasever.

Thanks Mark ..

Who said this was "fox" hunting?

What !! What other type of mounted hunt is it ? Drag ?

Beautiful words and a top post .

Sounds to me he was a lucky boy to have such a good family .

Best wishes ...

Ah I see....then it is totally justified:001_rolleyes:.

Of course it is ...

As a decent , kind , hard working , law abiding citizen from whom do I seek justification ?

Because I like semi automatic weapons and enjoy cutting trees ..

I so want to do this ...

Nice work Wallis ...

I certainly know there is a bit of an outrage about the clearfellings in the Carpathian mountains, Ukraine.

Hi Dom ,

I've been working in Bavaria since August and all in all its a pleasant place to be. it is without doubt the nicest part of Germany I have worked.

Let me just debunk a popular misconception about Germany only using Mewps right off .... If you are a climber , you will be climbing make no mistake. As the masters of proficiency and logic it stands to reason they won't pay a trained climber to stand in a bucket if they don't need to .

Language is a massive tick to have I cannot overstate how impressive this would be if you can speak German.

I could go on and on but to summarise, it's a very nice place to live , beautiful weather, people etc but for me Germany is quite pedantic and VERY controlled ( I had my passport checked 3 times within a couple of hours last week on a simple bus journey) although I understand why they need such control. Great experience but no real inspiration for me personally. Good luck

Maybe Khabib Nurmagomedov , he's from a part of Dagestan with Muslim heritage.

McGregor looked immense but the hot topic has to be that flying knee by Yoel Romero on poor Chris Weidman . Really devastating as Weidman was coming forward for a take down. Romero is a real scary dude !!

Disappointed ' wonderboy ' got beat to, although technically a draw ..

I'm doing it atm and it's driving me crazy ... generally a people hater here also

Renault kangoo and trailer or similar.

I'd second that , it's astonishing the amount of kit you can get in this vehicle..

Put cottonwool in its ears ?

Matabi , cheap , lightweight , slimline , perfect .

Cooper pegler , big , bulky , expensive , it stands to reason ?

Could you elaborate any ?

I'm spending a few days in Woodhall Spa in Lincs & yesterday whilst sat having a pint of cider something tried to carry it off, I guess it must have been a hornet. I've spent a day on and off googling, it was a good 1 1/2" in length, quite passive & there was no buzz at all which I thought you got from hornets? The only thing I cannot find anywhere is the fact it seemed very orange in its midriff.

 

It flew off & then returned but I wasn't quick enough to get a photo being too busy running away, definitely the largest I've ever seen.

They are not passive at all if you step out of line . ...

I got stung 3 times, once behind the ear and two on the knuckle of a finger . I can confirm it's definitely a buzz and more like getting an electric shock ( which is how they kill their prey ) than a sting . I reckon more than a dozen or so on the same area could be quite serious.Something i won't forget in a while

PS .. I noted that they fly straight rather than hover about so to speak ..

I love limes just need a silky ?

Nice one , watch out for them kiwis mind !

Great work, nice photos , looks like proper graft ...
