One of the best I've seen, was step ladder vs dockyard forklift. The rails were flat as a pancake in the middle. Although grossed out value, has to go to the case of dog food vs forklift on a hot day. That really was smelly, covered in flies within hours and I'm glad I didn't have the clean the truck, (as I wasn't driving it at the time).

Is 60cc overkill for coppicing and a bit of firewood? MS 261 but keep the clutch bearing well greased. A good s'hand MS 260. If you want light but still capable, maybe the MS 241. A good Husky 346 but will most have been thrash? Husky 550 XP Or an offering from Echo. Not so light but you get a lot if saw for your money.

Get a non- stretch strap that is attached via Velcro. About 50mm wide should do you. You can get buckle ones but they can be awkward to fit one-handed. It doesn't matter whether you wear it next to the skin or over clothing; but it should rest just below the elbow. Not so tight that it's overly tight but snug. The simple way of looking at its function, is to effectively shorten the problem muscle/tendon. Don't bother wearing it at night but try to wear it during the day. Healing will take at least a few weeks to many months. Depending on how soon you start treatment from first symptoms. When it's healed, don't get rid of the strap, as at some point in the future, you'll have a re-occurrence of the condition. Could be a few years in coming but it will happen again. For the first few months after healing, keep it in your kitbag or 1st Aid supplies... just in case.

I still think it has its place. For many, the countryside is just that place between town-A and town-B. A place where rich townies go to retire. And where farmers do weird things in fields and get paid by the government for doing that weird stuff. It's also a place that that looks great in the background of your latest selfie, as you stand at the edge of the car park or layby.

Well if he ever had been, he would have had to be an extremely quiet man. As she would have only been 9yrs. 1mth. old when he died. I can't see it myself.

Blowing and wet - good if you're a whale but not much fun to be walking around in.

Ah ha. A beekeeper who's more interested in just knowing the bees are alive and doing their thing. I like it. One could reasonably argue for not treating for Verroa, as ultimately, this may lead to the surviving bees being stronger. Plus if you're not extracting honey, there's far less likelihood that the colony would run out of honey and then require fondant or sugar syrup.

Top Bars are more in line with what bees do naturally and harvesting honey combe will be easier. You won't get as much honey as from a National or Langstrath but you don't need to buy foundation. However, you'll have problems siting a TB on steep ground. If money for honey isn't your primary aim, go for the Top Bar.

On paper the 261 sounds like a good saw but it does have a habit of eating clutch bearings. Keep an eye on them and keep them greased. The 211 should do you proud. Know someone who's go one, who regularly cuts firewood and also for the occasional small fell. Got him through a CS30/31 plus 2-4 years of use.
