Isn't it strange, how the last six years or so, everyone kind of got a taste of their own medicine, in one way or another... Whether it's been taken on board or not, that's up to individuals. 60 years ago this October, the Cuban missile crisis...

Fixed it for ya 🙂

Hi, welcome. I believe in UK the timber remains the property of the landowner. If your right of way is impeded, I suppose you would have a right to clear the way, but you should leave the timber on the land from whence it came. That would be my uneducated guess But if you want firewood you can ask on here for free logs, there's a dedicated section for it.

Most of us get all our information and discussion (about everything) from the western bubble. Fact. There may be contradictory voices within our bubble, but it's still an "Atlantocentric" understanding. I'm trying to get outside the bubble and listen to opinions and analysis from around the world. There are billions of thinking and feeling people in this earth who have a different understanding of reality than us. Maybe they have something to teach me? Been dipping into the Saker, it's a blog/commentary/news aggregator. Refreshing break from western thought.... Putin Suggests Ukrainian Military Seize Power From ‘Gang of Junkies, Neo-Nazis in Kiev’ | The Vineyard of the Saker THESAKER.IS A bird's eye view of the vineyard

List of countries not imposing economic sanctions against Russia (list not exhaustive.) 🔹 Moscow partners in the BRICS group (Brazil, India, China, South Africa). 41% of the world population. 🔹 The countries of OSC (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan). 🔹 Azerbaijan and Moldova have abandoned anti-Russian restrictions. But the most surprising position is Georgia! 🔹 Latin America (Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Chile, Peru). 🔹 The Middle East (Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran). 🔹 The Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina). 🔹 Hungary, yet a member of the European Union.

The ultranationalist (Nazi) faction in Ukraine waged an 8 or more year terror campaign against the people of the Donbass, who are defacto Russians. Apparently they wanted them to abandon their homeland and move to Russia. The Donbass has an open border with Russia, the Donbass people have Russian passports. The speak Russian. It's part of Russia. Ukraine essentially aggressed Russian citizens. Russia backed the Donbass defense (separatists) and the west backed the Ukrainian ultranationalists. It's one aspect of this conflict, not the whole story but an important part, which our media is burying.

Russian isolation exposed in mass walkout from Sergei Lavrov’s UN speech WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Dozens of diplomats, including from Britain, left the meeting... Adult behavior?

Are you sure?

So, why does Putin want to "de-Nazify" Ukraine? He pointed said his problem is with the Nazis, not the regular Ukraine military and people. What did these Nazis do, and to whom did they do it, to provoke Putin's ire? I'm curious.

Who are the "Nazis" and what's their role in all this? Curious to know what others think about this aspect.

The "left" (whatever that means these days, but they self identify as such, so whatever) especially in America, hate Putin more than the right. The leftist media drummed the narrative for four years that Trump and Putin are co-conspirators. So it follows that "if" there is an appetite for escalation, it's coming mainly from the left... Which is weird, on it's face, because Ukraine is a right wing country. Right wingers in Ukraine bullied the Donbass people, an ethnic minority. Russia supported them. But that's ok, normal prejudice has been suspended, so says the MSM. Facebook says it's temporarily lifting it's ban on praising Nazis, so users can praise Azov Battalion. This is not a joke.

No. It's the opposite. You're projecting onto us what you are.

Clown world... Facebook allows users to praise Neo-Nazi thugs now, but only while they're defending their territory, and only if you don't praise them too much.... Facebook Allows Praise of Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Battalion If It Fights Russian Invasion THEINTERCEPT.COM The reversal raises questions about Facebook’s blacklist-based...

Has he reached the adult diaper stage yet?

People in general just don't give a stuff about truth anymore. Everything is entertainment, drama and emotion and groupthink. There's a public appetite for Hollywood narratives, and an unstoppable propaganda machine to supply the product... Maybe it's always been this way, in one shape or form?

I think I dropped a log on the outer (telescopic) shaft. It was around six years ago, don't rightly remember.

Cheers, the first shaft got bent I think, second one the bearings rusted. Current shaft is fairly new. I'll try and grease them.

Interesting. Didn't know the Huskies were bronze. Having pulled a 131 shaft apart I can guarantee the Stihl bearings are a mixture regular sealed bearings and a kind of open race bearing. It was a few years ago and I don't remember if I attempted to grease them or not, it if I deemed it possible at the time. Wish I had kept the old shaft now, so I could check.

C'mon Josh, don't be that guy. With regard to my suggestion of putting the snatch block at the base should be considered in light of the variables of the site. Yes, there is a risk going near the base, you will evaluate this yourself. I would approach the tree from behind, and maybe consider setting the block and sling with the aid of a hooked stick. There's also the distinct possibility of the hanger crashing down on your block and sling. A way to avoid this (maybe) is this: 1. Fire a throw line over. 2. Pull a rope over. 3. Pull the tirfor cable over. 4. Secure the hook end on the cable to the base, with a choked sling. 5. Run the tail of the cable through the block, attached to the base with a long sling. As you tension the cable, the "flying block" should come out away from the tree at an angle, hopefully putting it out of the path of the falling hanger. The cable running over the top of the hanger will produce some friction but also some mechanical advantage. Since it is "pushing" the hanger, it should land on top of it, instead of being smashed into the ground. I'll post a picture. The advantage of this setup is you can always retrieve the cable if it doesn't work.

News to me. Shocking how easily we are spoonfed....

Doesn't look like anything beneath it from the photo. Set a snatch block at the base of the pine, run rope or cable through it, so you're pulling straight down.

How do you grease the bearings, Spud? And what type of grease?
