    Ahh now I get it. You are the dietary version of an ex smoker.

    Had a Beech in a similar situation. Rolled so fast an escape route wasn't much help. As it rolled a long limb came over the trunk at great speed and just caught the cutters helmet knocking him out, the next limb over had a broken end and missed the unconscious cutter by inches and dug into the ground. Wouldn't have taken much for the unconscious cutter to have the jagged edge of a broken limb straight through his face. Game over! You are a long time dead and all the logs in the world won't fetch you back. You might not have any other work that day, you might not be around the next. Be careful.

    Himalayan rock salt is 95% sodium chloride. Himalayan salt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It will kill you in excess just the same as any other form of sodium chloride. I am all in favour of healthy eating but there are far too many lies spouted by both sides of the argument as regards natural v conventional.

    The big thing on the left that isn't attached is a subsoiler. The bits that are attached look to be for removing the compaction of tramlines/wheelmarks. The other non attached looks a mixture of the two.

    Just up the road from me is where they dig up a great deal of the salt that they spread on the roads in winter. I've got a couple of housebrick size lumps of it somewhere. This is underground stuff that is a prehistoric dried out sea, coloured pink from dusts that blew in from Siberia or somewhere over there. If I go and root a bucketfull of that out of the grit bins I should be OK. I still say you would have to be eating dangerous amounts of salt to get any nutritional benefits from any trace elements in there. Each to their own though, so crack on.

    Are you going to put hot liquids in it? Either way, would beeswax not be nicer?

    Frank Mathews in Tenbury Wells would be the first place I would ask. Other than that, local garden centres. Can't remember the current name of the garden centre near Oulton Park (Wyevale I think), they usually have decent sized fruit trees in stock. Not massive full grown ones of course.

    Exactly what trace elements do you think are in there that do you any good and how much salt would you have to eat to have any benefit from those trace elements? The salt will kill you before you have any benefit from the trace elements (which are found in normal food anyway)

    It's a rat trap Jon. Works well. (Ps. I have a few of them and this one is new and unused. I wouldn't have a used one indoors)
  10. Peasgood
    I like these traps. Very easy to set with just one hand. Place them as in the pic so the rat crosses over them as the run by the wall. Rats have poor eyesight and prefer to hug against walls when they travel.

    Very worn sprocket?

    Unless something changed since they told me about it at college, leylandii is infertile.

    20 INCH 126W CREE LED Work Light Bar Alloy Spot Flood Combo Offroad Truck SUV | eBay Very good, very bright. Had mine a couple of years now I guess and happy to recommend. The 12" version is very nearly as good. I changed to the bigger one simply because it looked better in the bullbar, the brightness wasn't a lot greater as far as I could tell.

    Very rare I see them Jon, Steve has his finger on the button.
  15. Peasgood
    Yep, definitely some strange posts on this forum.

    Biggest issue if you are thinking to sell it is the sap. You get some of that stuck to someones posh carpet and you are knackered! Store it completely open to the elements for a couple of years before processing it and you stand a chance, longer is better. Good wood once dried for kindling or logs. Burns hot and leaves little ash. Downside is it doesn't really produce coals and only the best log burners that can be shut right down have any chance of staying in for more than a couple of hours. Spits so not best suited to open fires but open fires are a very inneficient way of trying to heat.

    The little black thing on the left is what was in the box.

    Mine has to be lit so no coming home to a warm house. That is the luxury of oil that I miss, but not enough for me to want to put an oil boiler back in. When I had oil I just couldn't afford the fuel so the house wasn't warm then either, it is much warmer now i am on wood only. I tell the missus she can have the heating on flat out as much as she wants. Not many can say that is there.
  19. Peasgood
    That's what I do. Apart from light, I do have electricity for that. All heating, cooking, hot water is wood fires. Apart from having to deal with the ash and putting up with sawdust trailed through (hardly any) it is fine.
  20. Peasgood
    Just wondering if you lot ever killed anyone? Damned miracle if you didn't.
  21. Peasgood
    Must be hornbeam grafted into a birch then.
  22. Peasgood
    The boar will eat the rabbits if they can catch them. I'd say that was a deterrent.
  23. Peasgood
    Yes. leylandii. tons and tons of it. The stuff on my fire today was planted about 35 years ago and all we've done is cut the tops off to leave a 12' hedge behind which is still growing. If I live to a hundred I will never burn it all.

    You can get some extra bendy rods for the bendy liners. I think they are made of silicon and cost a heck of a lot more than a draining rod. I have 3 chimneys in use, two haven't been swept in my lifetime and don't need it either. The third one is ss lined and does need it. I do it myself using a 6" flue brush fastened to some small diameter fibreglass rods that are sold for cable pulling. Does the job for me and goes round the bends that draining rods (silicon or not) will never get round. As mentioned, cover someones living room in soot, bricks and jackdaws nests all over their white carpet and sofa and see what you get.

    Maybe you'd get a better response on a secret agent forum. Maybe most of us don't want to tell the world we already have tracking devices in our equipment.
