  1. Someone put a link to petzl website early April regarding information on this http://www.petzl.com/files/all/all/communication-zigzag/ZIGZAG-information-080414-EN.pdf
  2. The 'gym nut in a vest' would have got the bananas then left the others to tidy the skins while he strutted around tensing his muscles
  3. Sounds like a good project. Good luck and hope there will be pics
  4. There's always 'that monkey' who end the day a bit browner lol
  5. It's been said by someone else in a different thread, but do you want the whole Internet knowing your security arrangements? Im guessing there must be loads of members that are watchers, not every member is as honest as they should be and some of these members are into trees and relocation of kit business it might give them a heads up. You could have a secret top spec security bunker to store your kit, if 'they' want your stuff they'll get it or make a mess trying
  6. Been stitched again. It was roman day before half term
  7. Had a go at making a spoon
  8. There's a tub of wet wipes at work, got pine resin off like a dream. Main ingredient was isopropyl alcohol
  9. I've read the meat book and it really opened my eyes. I have his fish book to read as well as river cottage year
  10. No worries. It took some finding as I have several of his books.
  11. Here's a pics from my Hugh fearnley-whittingstall meat book See the fire baskets either side of the spit, that stops burning. He suggests wood or charcoal as a fuel. A pig of 40-50kg will take at least 8hours. Maintain the fire bigger at rump and shoulder ends as the thinner loin and belly will cook quicker
  12. If when you mount it you have the stomach open the heat will cook it from inside too
  13. We have a winner. 👏👏
  14. Guess where I am today
  15. I know someone who got the grenade maul and hand axe combo from screwfix. They said it works fine. Depends on the quantity if splitting you have to do
  16. Sounds bliss. Either you are fibbing lol or you are the lucky ones who got the balance right. I've heard so many stories of people working all hours and burning themselves out
  17. Just found some seeds on eBay. Looks like i'll be dusting the propagator off
  18. Should you want carting off to your grave like Dell boy. I saw a van advertising only 'fools and hearses' it's a yellow robin with a robin trailer for the coffin
  19. I've noticed railway thorn is more vicious
  20. I'm on railways
  21. My favourite are the white bone biscuits
  22. I don't believe for one second the media will exaggerate the story to sell papers etc lol
  23. Got too much to take back. Anyone want it?? theres about 30 trees worth, in Great Coates. Could do with it gone today
  24. There's nothing to say a rear handle can't be used up a tree. Strap a lanyard to the rear handle of 181etc then sling it over your shoulder, you'd hardly notice it. Surely you have appropriate security measures for the rest if your kit, just keep the small R/H with the rest of the kit. If your storage facility (truck or unit etc) is that small you can't fit a 181 or equivalent I don't know what to suggest
  25. Fr jones sell a Stihl MS 181 chainsaw £165.62 + VAT (£198.74 inc VAT). Not much in the grand scheme of things, compared to a £500 fine. And as said before a few carvings would soon pay for it. I put it into my business plan as a chipper saw, to fake off them annoying branches that won't fit through.
