Mr. Squirrel

I found a deer leg 10-15m up a beech tree once.

Could try one of those clothes drying/dehumidifying tent things? Might help contain the smell and avoids putting all that moisture back into the flat. Otherwise a dehumidifier in a spare room, if you have one, is a game changer.

Dork.

With TBE at least there’s a vaccination available. Unsure if it’s effectiveness however when I worked in the Black Forest, a ‘red zone’ for tbe everyone I worked with had the jag. Only heard of one fella who got tbe and he was of course unvaccinated… can get the jags through the nhs but have to pay for them. I’ve had Lyme disease twice now and tbf the docs were great at admitting their lack of knowledge around it. Handed them a load of info on it and they were happy to go with my preferences then

I was quoted 4k for my hilux and sprinter van this year by trust. Shopped around and Aviva came in at 1400. Managed to talk trust down to match but went with Aviva anyway because trust were ripping the piss.

Potus… he made a real c**t of that one didn’t he?

Exercise caution doing that, you’re creating week points mid line, and obviously the 14mm Sirius is significantly weaker. As for the novoleen, also have 100m which has taken a fair thrashing. I’ve been pretty happy with it though and would say it’s comfortably paid for itself. Most significant damage to it came from the Eder winch itself, a sharp edge, stupidly. In future I’d buy something a bit higher spec though.

If you’re going to get into the ethics of it, then I’d suggest the ‘clone saws’ are themselves stolen IP, manufactured worse.

No, I don’t like the akimbo either. There seems to be a fair amount of resistance when tending, and, from my brief fondling, it certainly didn’t seem very smooth on ascent.

I had a look at one of these last week and it appears to be a bit like a bigger, worse akimbo. Looks like would make an effective anchor or such though.

Further to my last post, I drained my blower of the husky fuel and refilled it with aspen. Seems to be running fine again. Would strongly recommend avoiding the husky alkalyte fuel.

I think that, but he’s also thick as f**k. So he’s thick as f**k, but thinks everyone else is so thick they’ll believe the same sh** he believes.

I got one of those at a comp 5+ years ago, glad it was free or the £10 they cost would’ve been a waste of cider money. Only any use for stopping pieces sitting on a saw, and a small stick works just as good. Another thing that the world really never needed.

You have any luck with this Jose? My 800 has faired far better, i think its about 3 years old now, but it just started running like a bag of crap last week. I’m tempted to blame fuel - all of my machines have been run on aspen for about 5 years now, zero issues. I couldn’t get hold of any so had to buy a tank of the husky xp alkalyte fuel. Within the week my t540iii’s spark plug burnt out, my 550ii was running odd and my 800 is basically useless. Big saws are fine though…

I’m pretty sure Germany is especially bad for this, always thought so when I lived there. I remember on a pissing wet day in Germany this guy ran through our taped off site, grabbing one of the tripod folding signs, and flung it in the river. I bombed out the tree and chased after him, but what would I really do? I got back and a groundy had found his keys. He came back 20 mins later, still in his running gear, still raining, looking around on the floor. I said excuse me a few times, he ignored me, then I said ‘excuse me, have you lost your keys’ holding them up. His eyes widened, a look of pure relief, and I tossed them over my shoulder into the river. He nodded and left. It was wonderful.
