Exactly. The imaginary safety sticker on the ProPush® clearly states that it's only to be used like a felling bar, which is to say, on mild back-leaners. But it will outperform a felling bar on heavy trees, or accomplish the same work as a felling bar with less effort, and, arguably less risk. The forces generated by a felling bar, or pounding wedges, are in the same direction as the stem. The force and fulcrum (hinge) are very close together, therefore, inefficient. You need a lot of upward force to move the tree a bit sideways. You're basically lifting the tree instead of pushing or pulling it. Now, with a rope, your lever arm is the tree itself, the higher up the stem, the greater possible leverage (taking the angle of pull into consideration). The ProPush® is somewhere between a rope and a felling bar. It also allows you to stand further back from the tree, which is good for safety.

Pure genius! I wish for a gadget like that. Would be putting in a face cut first though...

No, but it will have Bluetooth. Are you sure it was the same technique? Forgive me if I assume you missed the ratchet strap (it's hard to see) I'm not pushing with the pole in the vid, rather lifting the pole, just like a felling bar. The strap converts the lifting force into a pushing force. I thought this up precisely to save my back! The beauty of it is you dial in the placement and angle of the pole, and thus the hight of your lift, to suit the situation and your own hight.

Give me a few weeks and I'll sell you the telescopic fiberglass ergonomic £1850 "ProPush®" version...

Q. Did I invent this or has it been done before? Q. 2. If I invented it, am I losing out on my millions by sharing it publicly? Interested to hear your thoughts.

I tried a raw one once. No psycadelic effects...probably because it didn't stay in my stomach long enough. Supposed to be a really nice trip if you prepare it right. Also supposed to be a delicious treat, with no unwanted psychedelic effects, if you boil the heck out of them first to leech out the active ingredient then fry in butter.

I did this to my Maruyama hedger. It wasn't in the machine for long though, just emptied, filled, purged and she was right as rain.

I bought a "Lighthouse" headlamp last winter in the hardware store for €30. Best money I ever spent. Still going strong, bought two more, can never have enough headlamps hanging around. It uses a rechargable and replaceable 16050 li-ion battery (about a fiver) and runs for hours. Very light on the forehead, water resistant, dropped many times, no problems. The beam is pure flood, which I know is not what you're looking for. It just diffuses out and fills a room with light, it's as if the light kind of works it's way into every nook and cranny. One feature that sometimes comes in handy is you can set it to motion sensor, and just wave your hand in front to switch it on or off, instead of pressing the button. This occasionally is useful, if your hands are really dirty/oily etc. Best work headlamp ever.

I don't doubt you are right about the top hat thing, just to clarify my idea is to strike "with" the direction of the pipe. Three strike points would be better, if there is room.

Q QANON.PUB Where we go one, we go all. This is the actual Q "drops". Q is pretty tame actually. Some of the followers have extrapolated the drops into far out theories, like kidnapped human/pig hybrid children in tunnels etc. Q is basically political. Check it out for yourself and make up your own minds.

You just need to pull the stovepipe down harder - with mighty strength and effort. If this is impossible, then you must use physics instead. Drill a self tapping hex head Tek screw into the stovepipe, three inches from the bottom, one on the right side and one on the left side. No washer. Then tap the pipe down with a hammer, by hammering down gently on the Tek screw heads, alternating left and right.

The pandemic ended in May. There's a "casedemic" now. The tests pick up dead viral fragments, and/or antibodies. Some of these tests could also be triggering on a number of other coronaviruses. A "case" is a positive test result. The "case" is often asymptomatic and non infectious. WHO estimates 10% of the world population have been infected. 20 times their previous estimate. The deaths is the thing to track. Last year's flu death's were unusually low, so there were more elderly/comorbids alive than usual. This population got wiped out, in the same manner as a buildup of dry forest material goes up in a wild fire. Year on year, the actual average deaths, though a spike, are not terribly excessive. Marking ever death "with Covid" also scews the charts, as some of those who died died of other things, and just happened to have Covid antibodies or dead virus fragments on there system. The more they test, the more "cases" they can publish, the more fear they can generate, and the more power they can seize.

A few benefits: 1. Make it solid and it will keep you dry in the rain. 2. Open casket still possible if you get walloped by a big one. 3. Use as a stretcher. 4. Lie down in the grass without getting soaked. 5. Add straps and clips for carrying your gear. 6. Mount a floodlight/flashing beacon on the top for working at night and roadside safety.

Regarding the responses to my post about the funeral director: The consensus seems to be "Put him on his ass" - while I concur with this, consider that the jobsworth isn't actually the cause of this travesty - his behavior is mearely a consequence of the power WE gave to our governments, in order to "protect" us. Let's be careful what rules we wish for.

I'll just leave this here. Coronavirus: Man Scolded for Cuddling Grieving Elderly Mother at Funeral WWW.BREITBART.COM A funeral director interrupted a funeral to tell a man to stop...

Also protects against your hyperactive spastic felling mate when you turn you back on him.

Yup, I hear you, that was the only tree I bothered to side trim, just for visibility, I wanted to get the felling cuts exactly right. It was the biggest of the bunch and had to fall between two standing trees to avoid snagging. The others were not so critical. I went with deep faces on all of them, probably unnecessary, but just for peace of mind. With more experience I'd consider going with a more acute angle.

Digger guy is a master operator, steady and methodical, been doing this kind of thing many years. There are guys I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this with. The advantage of the digger, beyond the obvious clean up and access making, is you can leave a fat hinge. Tree is going nowhere, with or without the bucket, untill the digger gives a push - and a hard push at that. Plenty of time to retreat to safe zone and no fine-lining the hinge needed. I was a tiny bit worried about the trees splitting, with the fat hinge and side pressure, but nary a sign of it. Depends on the species as well though, I suppose.

Pushing pines over with a 16 tonne digger. Average 30" diameter, up to 40", about 120 feet tall. Make the face cut, digger positions behind the stem and places the bucket at optimal hight, make back cut and leave a generous hinge, scarper, digger pushes tree over. Way fast. Done about 30 odd trees so for, each one went exactly the same, no problems. Using a 394 with three foot bar mostly. Thoughts?

Police savagely beat anti lockdown protestors.

Dick? Maybe. Deluded? Definitely not. Triggered much?

Anti lockdown protestors charged and beaten by police at Trafalgar Square today. Police were kneeling for Blacks, a few months ago.

"I trust the government..." Jesus wept. "Hey kid - wanna sweetie?"

That's pretty good! I like it. But it's a bit of a false equivalency. The true parallel would be more like "Adolf Hitler is our friend and if we just go along with his, um, needs, you know, give him a bit more room, so to speak...then we will all get along just famously..."

I'd try a new magneto. Had an old consaw that was a bugger to start, new magneto coil/ignition module and it starts first pull.
