    Brenig smock

    Thanks for info sounds good. I have a brenig javelin type pile jacket which is has lasted for the last 10yrs plus but not on there website. They do cheaper a high viz forestry smock also Forestry Smock - Brenig BRENIG.CO.UK A simple garment, but one which works extremely well for tree surgeons, forestry workers and many others.
  7. Anyone tried one of theese? 20″ CLIP-N-TRIM – HEDGE TRIMMING ATTACHMENT – G120B - Granberg International GRANBERG.COM CLIP-N-TRIM 20"

  9. I think alder buckthorn is the gunpowder charcoal species not alder
  10. Ive had the same happen with chains whilst cutting blackthorn scrub jumping off bar. Think new chains are worse as more "snatchy" I think ideal chain for smaller diameter would be 1/4 pitch or maybe an anti kickback type. Bit like a high tpi silky (fine tooth) does a smoother cut on smaller diameter branches
  11. Ideal coppice or hegde laying saw.
  12. Some info here about regs/advice relating to firewood storage : https://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/projects/sites/iee-projects/files/projects/documents/biohousing_firewood_storage_guide.pdf Finland seems strict
  13. How about some kind of passive solar heating designed into building with wood store built into it? Also if extension is really well insulated will be warm enough without burning as much logs etc Alot of logs in house =could be a big adittional fire risk any thing in building regs about it maybe?
  14. Theres some battery combi i units around now also. Being looking at the makita combi cordless one so can share batteries I like my hegde trimmer but not used battery pole saw though I think there was a thread on the husky one being good.
  15. Better infos: Nitrogen emission failings may hit 18,000 building projects: NRC - DutchNews.nl WWW.DUTCHNEWS.NL Up to 18,000 construction projects may be affected by a recent Council of State ruling on nitrogen emissions, the...
  16. Ok but as the dicussion above shows the enviro impact of different methods is'nt straight forward to work out so hard to make informed decisions on limited knowlegde.

    Google says maybe ESCO logging end hooks Thread about them: http://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=58419.0
  20. Would firewood create be better value? Small diameter but alot of tall looking straight trunks could be processed with right set up with some kind of branch logger? MODEL RP-200 Super - WoodProcessor24 WWW.WOODPROCESSOR24.CO.UK RP200 SUPER PRO with hydraulic conveyor INNER WIDTH 300mm INTERLINE SPACING 200mm BLADE THICKNESS... Way too much fiddle?

  25. I think you confusing socialism with communism. Scandi countries are more socialist no mass death yet Nordic model - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Its a continuim not an either or. Socialist ideas are more compatible with eniviromentalism e.g enviro regulation Hence why there aren't many right wing enviromentalist movements. A agree thought that many protesters don't really understand fully what they are protesting for and there is a disconnect between the radical change they call for in goverment policies, and them being ready to make the personal changes to there everyday lifestyle, that in reality they most likely wouldn't want too accept.
