I have lolered climbing kit, a Stihl 193t with 12" bar, and a Stihl 391 with 20" bar. I turn up with fuel, food, tea and water so I won't need to stop at a shop on the way to site.

I’ve used rotatech chain on my 12” top handle, 14” 181, 18” 560 and 20” 391. Never had problems after initial stretch. The 14” bar I had in the 181 didn’t last long at all though. The last time my saw pulled / cut on a curve was when I was cutting loads of stumps on the rail and blunting one side more than the other, thus the right cutters were sharpened more which made it curve through a cut.

Get some welders gauntlets for the thorn, get used to tripping on bramble, be part mountain goat for the banking and there are sometimes long walks from access to site carrying all your kit. On the plus there is very rarely a drag as the tracked chipper is near the base of the tree.

I was well impressed when I worked with a multi one owner. There was a pile of logs that would have took a while cutting small enough to handball out. It took very little time with the multi one, and there was minimal mess at the worksite.

I had 2 meters cut off the spiced end as the rope was compromised. I use a double fisherman’s knot, it’s a self tightening knot but once you slide the carabiner out it pushes out easy

Been reading Norwegian wood, from memory They cut the wood to 24” the first few layers are bark down to stop wet coming up. All the nice splits make the sides, then the dodgy cut bits get thrown inside. Top it off with the bark facing up to shed water. Cut in winter, split Feb/March it’ll dry over summer then collapse in on its self as as the timber contracts as it drys then it’s ready to burn the following winter

I'm still on Pussers thick. I managed to get enough to treat myself on birthdays and xmas. There's not many left now though [emoji22]

Nah the customer didn't want the expense of new post but wanted solid run of fence. Initially I though a bit of trellis but the gap was too small to look decent, so I used a few feather edge from the cut down panel on the end.

People rely on PPE too much. A good work position and not swinging the saw around like an idiot should be enough not to cut yourself.

Thanks. Joining the panels above the posts was abit of a nightmare.
