Get yourself some braces for yr pants (the velcro ones, Not the ones with metal jaws) put the braces on bare skin and a long sleeve lycra rash-guard top over the top of the braces and pull it down over the waistband of the pants. Then harness up, it's brill - no chippings in the underwater, ever again.

Suzuki Jimney?

CS38/9 doesn't teach SRT (yet). Assessment allows access to the canopy by a technique of your choosing, but the work positioning and AR is double rope and prussic. Unless I'm mistaken.

I dabbled in MuyThai, boxing, taekwondo, combatives. I trained no gi BJJ for a year and a half. Club was too far from me and the physical toll was affecting my bottom line (knackered next day) so had to pack it in. Great sport for someone who has quick recovery or a sedentary job! Actually, of all the martial arts BJJ has the most in common with tree climbing, many of the movements are cross-compatible, like static pulling, joint flexibility, heel hooking etc. I wear BJJ rash-guard tops for tree work.

The angle cut is supposed to "release the tension gradually" apparently.

Just had a sudden hankering for this about half an hour ago, while sitting in my classic 60's caravan (man cave) drinking cans of Becks, chewing nicorettes and trolling teenagers and deadbeats on playstation multiplayer (yes, that's how I like to wind down - trust me, it's awesome..)

Ok, I got an idea! Post the guy's website (the bullshitter's site) and we'll Trøll him for lulz!! I'll phone him and pose as a major hotel-and-golf-course grounds manager in the next town and offer him a lucrative contract - but only if all his guys are certified and the job has to start next week or no dice!!! Edit: I'll have to muster my best Norwegian accent though. Don't worry, I'll study up with the 'Tube this evening after supper. Edit 2:......I'll also have to learn Norwegian...umm.

Is it true that the Nordic peoples have a lower tolerance for bullshit compared to Anglo Saxons? (And Celts) I only mention it bacause I've occasionally been corrected by Germanic type friends for exaggerating or generalising. I think it's quite funny! ?

He lives in Washington (blue state) so probably, yes. But in Georgia you're allowed to use top handles on the ground - two saws at the same time if you wish, one in each hand, in public! No limitation on bar length neither.

Well, my OMG moment is the ten seconds after 2:20, when he rushes to catch a bit of her plank that under no circumstances needed catching - and gets both his hands right up in her sawing zone... absolutely bonkers.

Ok, here's an idea for a thread - lets post vids of people doing dangerous things with chainsaws and then analyse and discuss. I'm sticking this one up as it's just come online this evening. I was horrified at certain points. I suppose most everyone on here will instantly identify the moment of maximal danger in the vid, but maybe give some of the less experienced members a chance to think about it and comment? I don't know, maybe this idea is a late night waste of time...I'd me keen to scrutinise any vids other members can find and share though, but not the obvious fails, obviously.

This thread'll do that to ya - it gets us all in the end, don't beat yourself up...look, your "facts" are Obama side propaganda. A very quick Google yields alternative data and a different view. https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/how-good-is-job-growth-the-chart-obama-doesnt-want-you-to-see/ The wall? Would be built by now if the Dems and RINOs weren't obstructing at every turn. I didn't say brokered a nuke deal, I said peace deal. Right now, there is peace, no threats of war from Kim, communication is happening, all good and much more than Obama achieved. The pictures if children in cages? - fro. The Obama era. Fact. Etc etc. Try looking past the emotional media narrative.

Re the building labourers on 150 a day - as I've mused before, construction is a totally different sector. For one thing it's massive by comparison to arb, with a magnitude more people to draw from. There are certainly plenty of guys kicked off building sites every day for being not good enough, and always more queing up to have a go, so the 150 pound guys have probably won't their wage by being the best out of a big pool of workers. There are also no-hopers waiting outside petrol stations in the rain at five in the morning, looking forward to earning 50 pound for a grueling ten hour day on some godforsaken dangerous site somewhere...like football, it's so huge there will be some who are good/lucky enough to earn big bucks, whereas in a niech sport like darts or polo, not as much money to be made even at the top. That, and construction is aspirational, investment based, and generally financed, so people will spend, while arb is generally remedial and a burdensome expense for most customers, like having a tooth out. I second Jamallio's ethic - it's a quality of life thing. I loath building sites. Don't mind small renovation jobs, shed construction, alterations etc, but full on deadline builds? No thanks. Part of the reason big sites can make use of low quality labour as well is the organisation - it's basically factory assembly, so you can train a guy up to do one thing well, and he will be productive as part of a big team, provided the management is on point. Arb is fluid and analytical in nature, requiring independent thinking and self motivation from everyone involved, it's like a special forces commando squad as opposed to a cavalry batallion.

Have you tried a distel hitch? I just changed the CT Finch lanyard adjusters on my lanyards for 10mm 75mm long eye to eye distels. Very little sitback, this is lanyards though not main line so I don't know. Try tying a distel and see if it makes a difference

No really, liquids can be mechanically compressed. Just not by a lot. I googled it

Just to be pedantic, all liquids are compressible to some degree - just not a lot. Except silicone break fluid which is compressible a lot.

My neighbour has one, its a plastic clamshell model, semi-pro and the latest version of the 039, 390 farmboss, but way more advanced, strato motor, spring antivibes etc. Its heavy. He is happy with his and has had it a good while...

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap...

Hey - I thought you liked Trump? You said he is a true Christian, like you...what changed?

Hahaha!! Someone's been doing their homoeowork!

Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yes, I was challenged by serve/searve - thick as fuck you see...still, we try our best. Climate change? Not caused by humans, natural, cyclical, dictated by fluctuations in solar output. And even if, hypothetically, it was caused by us, green tech and taxing fossil fuels won't make an iota of difference, it's just an excuse for more government control over the energy sector and economy generally. Trump has brokered peace with NK, Russia, resurrected the US economy, sorted out the illegal immigration problem in his country, put a conservative (soon 2) on the supreme court, and is now clawing back some of his citizen's wealth that was essentially given away by former administations to other countries in crap trade deals. The USA was on a path of slow managed decline under Obama, Trump has reversed that decline. He's the exact opposite of incompetent. He did what very very few politicians ever do - honoured his promises. You darn well better believe I'm a backer (said with a southern drawl) Edit: watching "The Apprentice" right now, as it happens! Very astute psychologist as well. He thinks deeply, doesn't always verbalise well, we (the backers) forgive him.

Cool beans!

Trump backer here. Thick as fuck - check ✔ bigot - check ✔.....enjoying every heaping serving of TDS each day as the outraged haters searve it up fresh off the griddle ?

Nice one gents, I'll check them both out, can't find Stihl on diyspearparts but will look harder later. Yes I think a piston will do, the cylinder is slightly scored but, assuming I can rebuild, the 461 will be repurposed as a stumper so it doesn't have to be high performance. Thanks for replies!
