as a LEFTY MYSELF im also as wisewood says right dominant - altho i shoot left - which was beaten out of me in the army - due to no SA*)s being viable for left handers. sadly as with drumming being a lefty means that most things are a pain to start with but once you get passed the early stages and get onto the more complicated techniques that actually we gain the upper hand - plus we are sinister as hell./
-
yep because they are not being paid to do it... doing it out of the goodness of their own heart - and they believe that should anything happen to them it wernt der fault guv/
-
yes but finding the isrealy dressings is a pita ( still got my army issue one in my big first aid kit) - also want to obtain some of the US quik klot wound hemorrhage insta stop gum stuff.
-
just to throw a wrench in - what about on open fires? as surely the fire cannot achieve similar temps - thus would there be more of a significant build up? reason i ask is this coming winter will be my first with soft wood in the mix.
-
forgive my ignorance - TM?

having spent a fair ammount of time on research forom the US and scandi wood users -9/10 times the flue buildup is caused by wet wood - those of us creating less than 20% on the softwood should be A OK - im trialing my first serious batch of softwood this year as i am lucky enough to burn hardwoods in abundance - but i will happily sweitch to more softwood if it speeds up the initial heat ina cold room ,..... as for over night burns - oak seasoned minimum of 2yrs seems to be the badger.

I have a recent storm damaged yew tree (that is down)... dont know if thats any use to you... its wood grown (rather than churchyard/garden) so its more tree like than bushy - so would presume it has plenty of straightish multi stems.
-
buy quality or buy it twice... is sadly a motto i stick too with axes - however the plaky handled mauls you get from most farm supplier style shops - after some basic reprofiling and sharpening are good for a few years.
-
so 30% crown reductions for those big boys in my garden then.
-
currently running a 16 but needing a longer bar for crosscutting as i usually farm out the big trees to contractors - but highwinds/windblow have made it a viable purchase. obviously in a prefect world i would get a bigger saw so thoughts please biggest bar that would comfortably be used by you on one . thx in advance.

ive been thinking the same thing due to shoddy ear defense - and i recall (but cant find) an excellent thread from a few months ago that was specifically talking ear defense - and was working out how to get some that would fit straight onto my budget helmet. just got to arbtalk-fo the hell out of it till i come across it again.
-
may i just add to those very very indepth posts - GEEKs - and i luv ya for it - very informative... anywhosal i missed anice 2lb head the otherday at the oswestry show ground - guy who beat me was going to weld a metal handle on - i died a bit inside.
-
can i ask what the original base was that you purchased?
-
really - yes keywords is a must - admittingly im only upkeeping a site atm rather than making new ones which was my job 4 yrs ago.
-
over take them....or offer to buy the domain. As for SEo - the best thing that you can do for your site is to get back links - that is other websites linking to yours - a mutual backpat seems to work best - such as you linking arbtalk and somewhere on arbtalk they link to you (hell you can hide it invisibly if it needs to be due to being unrelated.

im with grahams first page post - snedding.... excellent stunt felling. chain brake non existant but would presume was carmera stunt - and yeah stups are high - if he was I i would have switched to US style undergob.
-
new sites tend to take a good week to get face time on google - due to how their crawler bots work.
-
i have both a forest axe and a maul from gransfors - love them to bits but would drop them in a heartbeat for decent elwell axes - say a 2lb head on a custom handle. carboot sales is the way to go.
-
indeed - happy st kickass day - i mean david.
-
also due to the break the top canopy is now very poor and will probably not correct itself fast enough to make the base any more stable. - tis a shame. but as just a cutter myself i would be removing it.
-
now that is a crying shame. edit not the vehicle.
-
so is that spliced and .// tied or how are you holding the red and yellow together now?
-
anyone have a jetmaster?

(First post) Planting a native woodland, East Sussex
ShooTa replied to spandit's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
as im now learning form 60 years of mis management on the ground (rather than the planning) you really need to stay ontop of any initial pruning , thinings and bramble/braken clearance whilst the trees are maturing - Also make sure you have things such as planned landings, extraction routes, skid routes and so on already determined prior to planting as in 15+ years you will thank yourself for doing it.
