Hi guys , any of you guys got the protos helmet and if so how are you getting on with it, do you keep cool enough and how are the ear defenders ?

As I only use my saw at home for firewood I run it on aspen all the time so I can leave it with fuel in

There are still a lot of grey areas and until it gets challenged in court we can only follow what we believe are the right guidelines which is what you have said Mark.

hi guys, i'm looking to get a new saw. I'll use it for cutting logs for the woodburner at home, I get the wood from work as I drive the crane truck so the saw needs to capable of cutting through stuff upto about 16" and will be used for upto about 2 hrs at a time then not used again for a couple of weeks. we use husky all the time at work so i'm used to them but i'm open to suggestions. I can bring home smaller diameter wood, I don't want to get one that's too big but it has got to last a long time and not struggle. any suggestions please.

hi all does 2 stroke oil go bad ? got a large can ages ago but saw is running like crap, I know fuel only lasts about a month but not sure about the oil, no matter what I do the engine either races or dies, done all the carb settings etc BUT it is a cheapy saw and needs a 25:1 mixture. thought I might try it on aspen as I only use it at home for occasional firewood cutting and yes there is still room in the refuse binwhich is being collected tomorrow

running bowline on your climbing line choked below your flipline/strop with your climbing line running through a karabiner or tool hook to stop you spiking it. just done my cs38 and that's what the instructor recommended but they do only teach you the basics.

I,m 50 and just started climbing, got my cs38 this week so go for it. its ok being old and grumpy in an armchair but being old and grumpy up a tree is much more fun !

I'm 50 and new to climbing, just passed my cs38. Most of it is in the technique but definitely do some chin ups, press ups etc and keep hydrated with lots of fresh water, I also use 'iso-energy' drink and 'amino acid' tablets for musle repair. Eat a good balanced diet and you will notice the difference. Your fitness will come as you climb more but dont expect too much of yourself to begin with. You will be fine.
