  19. So a few yrs ago I got a hospital bed that has a jack on it I was going to use it for alaskan milling to save being on my knees ,now I dont do that much alaskan milling its not being used so does anyone want it its well built and I do t want anything for it just thought someone might have a good use for it . Cheers Mark
  20. So if I just leave the butt alone will they die ,as I got stung to **************** and as a lot of you have said they are getting nasty even when using the Woodlands I am getting hassled by them ,I am thinking a big bucket of petrol mixed with diesel as I have a load that we syphoned out of my mates sons car I have some of those white disposible suites I will try and film it so you can have a laugh
  21. Hi sorry I think you may struggle on that one
  22. Hi when I first started milling I used my felling bar as it had a hook on it and it worked but wasnt very good so when I got my bandmill I got a nice big Cant Hook what a diffrence it rolls big logs turns square cants ,so if you want to be moving big logs get a propper cant hook I wish I had got one yrs ago.
