Going to be 3 of us driving down if you wanted to hitch a lift -
So In this nonsensical logic, if you pruned a tree then a car crashed into it and the tree fell on a house you'd be liable !!!!!!! I'm sure your post must be with a hint of tongue in cheek

I'm worried this type isn't going to have the pull that I need. Going to be shifting big elm stems about 5ton

Any advice where to get one 2nd hand ? Can't see much on the Internet except a place called tractorpool and there all Europe

Forestry skidding and I have the option of either. I have front linkage and hydraulics

I'm looking to buy a winch to fit on the front of my MOG. Around £2k budget so probably 2nd hand. Does anyone have any recommendations ? Cheers

Do you need to seal the end grain if it's drying outside or is that just for kiln ?

This monster Banyan in Vanautu was one of the biggest trees I've seen and upside down.

For those who were eager to know.... It does. Also got a free wire thingy on top !!

Of course everything is situation dependant. Hence experience and a high level of training is the most important bit of kit. Just be aware that when you put that tourniquet on and leave it on they could lose everything below that. You could be a 2 hour wait for a heli vac in some remote forestry block. Or pruning trees outside an A+E. As said before all situation dependant. If there leg has been cut in half and there's blood coming out like a hose, get that tourniquet on first.

I was always advised by a surgeon to not use the granules cause of difficulty in removing them. I changed my mind when I used them. If you have a severe bleed in your pelvic area ,neck or stomach i.e somewhere a tourniquet can't be used. The granules are life saving. I tried it on a deer I shot, cut a main artery in the inner thigh/groin, no where to apply tourniquet, very difficult to apply pressure. I pour in a sachet and within seconds all bleeding had stopped. Waited a while and I removed the granules in one scoop. If that were a person it would have saved their life. I know carry granules.

Yes tourniquets are back, however there are some slight changes. The drill is now to apply 1 large dressing (Israeli), if it bleeds through that apply another on top. If it is still bleeding then apply the tourniquet and a fresh thin bandage. Release after 7 mins and if no fresh blood on the thin bandage keep the tourniquet off. If fresh blood appears reapply the tourniquet and repeat. Tourniquets are good if you know how and when to use them and are trained. I've been in a situation where a guys leg has been cut to the bone with a saw but no blood came through the first bandage. There was no need for a tourniquet. The guy was begging for a tourniquet to be put on.
-
This is a misconception, there really not that good. Only 40% of what there meant to soak up is actually blood, there fiddly as hell to open and try to apply. They don't hold nearly the same amount of fluid as a dressing. There not sterile either.

I have got a 10x8 shipping container to move 60 miles. If I remove the sides of my 7.5 ton Daf can I load the container and then ratchet the container down ? May sound simple to someone but not sure myself if it'll be legal/dangerous Pic for ref - Cheers

Lots of big trees to come out of a site clearance, easy moved with a 30t rubber duckie ! Then In the afternoon Milled up a beech that was felled earlier in the week
-
After 20hrs of milling, one of the bolts that holds the nose of the bar in place came off today. Not a huge drama, put a longer bolt on and an extra but. You do get what you pay for!

The heading says refresher ? Is this different or the same to the actual course? I'll book it up if it's the same
