Good find! Fascinating stuff. On page 2 it mentions modern sail power, I read a thing about oil tankers experimenting with massive parachute style sails to cut down on fuel costs. Don't know if it caught on.

Net zero means one of three things: 1. 90+% of us live like medieval peasants. 2. 90+% of us live like 1984 peasants in cities. 3. 90+% of us die from vaccine injury. 4. We also have to nuke China, Russia and India before 2030, because they're not living like peasants anymore and don't seem to want to go back. 5. What's your beef with climate refugees? Diversity is our strength, and we will need them to work the soil anyway. 6. Profit??? 7. Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!!?

Fear porn nonsense, pushed by the same fake scientists and funded by the same lying cabal that pushed the Covid panic - and for the same purpose: global fascism/communism.

Virtue signaling. The cost of this CO2 reduction will fall on the private sector and bankrupt people. I'm paying an extra fiver to fill the tank of my very efficient wee van now. An extra 50 cents to fill a jerrycan for the saws. Next year it will be another fiver and another fifty cents. Electricity bill is set to rise €300 next year. At present, this is absorbable. Five years down the road, it may not be. Many of my clients are fixed income. I either have to raise my rates and pass the cost on to them, or eat the cost, or split it. If I raise the rate, I lose work. If I don't raise the rate, I earn less. It's all fine for the Davos crowd. Not so for millions of peope like me...and that's just the fuel/energy costs, the knock on effect to the economy is rising costs across the board. The economy is already frigile enough after Covid, debt ridden, unbalanced. This will bankrupt people, make no mistake. Meanwhile China, Russia and India thumb their noses at this nonsense...and what changes? Nothing. I have to eat therefore I have to work, therefore I have to drive, therefore I have to burn deisel. Still going to burn the same amount, just going to be poorer every year... Still, at least I'll be "doing my part" or whatever, to save the lives of hundreds of millions of people yet to be born in the third world, I suppose..

Nice to see Olight and Armytek mentioned. Seems botique torches are finally getting down to the mainstream... Olight have some savage throwers by all accounts.

Better hope it's all talk. Serious action on global warming will cause you to own nothing and be happy.

Problem solved.

You can't make chainsaw safer. Can't be done. The inertial chain break and, I would argue, vibration damping, are the practical limit. Any other safety features only retard the utility of the machine, which causes frustration and leads to unsafer work style, wiping out the gains. You can make the chain a bit safer, but at the expense of utility. The safety margin with modern saws is 10% saw 90% user.

Another way you could do it is weigh a cubic meter of logs, as prepped for sale. Then establish the weight of a 10cm x 10cm cube if the same wood. Average of several samples. Then from this you can extrapolate the weight of a solid cubic meter of that wood. Then subtract the first figure from this and you have the difference in wight from solid to stacked. What you can do with this, I don't know....

I'll trade you a pair of kevlar jeans and a Florabest 55cc for the 660. Will throw in a helmet as well.

You're gonna wanna head on down to your local outdoor equipment place and try on a few pairs. Chainsaw pants are heavy, work better with elasticated braces.

I pull them off. Thought everyone did?

Let us consider the mechanics of the inertial chain break: If we open it up (goggles!) we find that different makes/models have the assemblage constructed in different ways. Whether one way is better who knows, but they all follow the same principle - a spring keeps a trigger cam primed in the "open" position. A tiny bit of pressure on the plastic break handle, rotates this trigger cam to the closed position and allows the spring to "fire" pulling the break band tight around the clutch drum. This action requires the whole mechanism to move freely, without undue friction. Build up of wood dust and oil can gum up the works. So it's essential to regularly clean out the mechanism and lube it with silicone spray. Also consider taping a weight to the top of the break handle, like a bit of lead flashing. This will increase the inertia and make it more likely to trigger in a kickback.

Run HP Ultra. And never worry again.

Also, are we talking about air between the logs? Or air incorporated in the molecular structure of the wood itself? Or both? If it's air between, I would place the logs in a cage and forcibly submerse them in a known volume of water. The water level will then rise, and thus the volume of the logs themselves can he extrapolated. Now subtract this figure from the approximate volume of the stacked logs (1.6 cubic meters) and you have the air volume.

Is there a multiple choice answer option?

There was a time, don't know if it's still the case, that Germans automatically qualified for a sub 7 tonne truck when they passed their car test... valid in Ireland, though some had never seen the inside of a truck can.

An American friend told me there were three settlements in the new world, of the very first settlers. They established themselves some days journey apart and each group of settlers adhered to a different social ethic. Kind of experiments in communal living, with no safety net. One group was firmly about private ownership, another owned everything in common, and I forget the third. Upshot was, the communists starved.

No, it's the wee bottle that comes with the saw... It's a gimmick. If you're going to be using so little fuel that a 1lt bottle would actually be useful, then you would be better off with 5lt of Aspen (red). It doesn't go off.

Yup. Brilliant series shows how and why. Six spoiled Brits work sweatshop jobs in Asia. This was the tuna one. Other episodes they work on a prawn farm, plant rice, sew blouses etc. The only one who could really hack the pressure was a young farmer guy. Enjoyed gutting fish with the lads in a slum shack over a sewer in Bancock so much he stayed the night and worked another shift the next day! All for a pound, or something...
