Emergency First Aid at Work + F (Forestry)
Haironyourchest replied to Bruce Petty's topic in Training & education
My cousin saved a feller in the cinema from death by choking - Heimlich maneuver, worked. One of the more common deadly accidents that can befall us, all the more so because nobody expects it. Must do a refresher course soon... -
Ok here's another one, another confederate statue, different town. WNCN reports that a woman climbed a ladder and placed a rope around the statue at approximately 7:10 p.m. The statue was a representation of a Confederate soldier who fought in the Civil War. Loan Tran–described as “an organizer”–said, “It needs to be removed. These Confederate statues in Durham, in North Carolina, all across the country.” Here's the link to the article if anyone's interested http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/14/video-protesters-pull-down-confederate-statue-in-durham-nc/ Yes, yes - Breitbart, I know. Just because you don't like the news agency doesn't meant the news is fake.

You're trolling, I see you. Ironically, many on the left, if they were somehow (time warp) to meet their own great grandfathers in their youth - who fought the real Nazis - would mistake their conservative ancestors for "nazis" in the modern sense. I wonder if those posting here about bashing fascists etc as a moral duty, would have the sack to travel to the middle east and fight ISIS?

Emergency First Aid at Work + F (Forestry)
Haironyourchest replied to Bruce Petty's topic in Training & education
Excellent stuff! Can you give a synopsis of how the incident played out and what was done to preserve life? -
No, can't disagree, its a fair enough analysis. I do believe they were trolling to provoke violence though. The radical left in america is so easily manipulated in this way - just by threatening to hold Milo lectures at universities they are goaded into riot - the leftist media supports the rioting and the voting population of moderate conservatives is pushed further to the right as a result. Meanwhile another car ramming in Paris, another young girl murdered. She wasn't "protesting" though, just eating a pizza with her folks. Gov has requested people not to post "images" on social media for fear of spreading "incorrect information".

I just think the word "nazi" is being thrown around pretty indiscriminately these days, its dangerous. In actual fact, its libelous. If those idiots actually identify as nazis, well, fair enough to call them that.
-
Yeah I saw them. You may despise them and the politics they claim to represent, but you don't have a moral duty - or a legal right - to "whack" them - any more than we, as law abiding citizens of civilised societies have a moral duty or right to assault anyone who espouses politically radical views - like muslims, or communists for instance. I appreciate that their antics triggered certain folks, that's their goal I suppose. Personally I just though the whole thing was cringeworthy.

Please define "nazis"

My thoughts exactly. The efficiency of electric is more or less proportional to the speed of travel, as I understand it. You can do twice the milage at half the speed kind of thing, but not great for road travel. Perfect for low speed low gear driving though...nice and quiet in the woods.

My girlfriend buys her clothes online from the UK - she noticed that since Brexit the quality of customer care has gone way up. Whereas before, traders might have taken a few days to dispatch purchases, after Brexit they ship immediately. More responsive on the phone, by e-mail and generally upped their game. She reckons the Brexit has put the frighteners on UK businesses and made them pull their socks up!

Silly red tape. If there is an objection to the rucksack adaption idea it would be that dribbles (there's always dribbles) from filling, will dampen the fabric of the rucksack and the chemical will stay there when the water evaporates. Obviously we don't want to be rubbing up against a chemically saturated harness, but there is a simple fix for this: ware a raincoat. Or just fix a bin liner to the back support of the rucksack to isolate it from your clothing. Another option is to source a fame pack/back board from an army surplus store, less absorbable padding than a regular rucksack and therefore more washable. Purpose designed to carry auxiliary loads. This would have been my choice had it been available.

I gutted a cheap rucksack and zip-tied my 15lt to the "frame". Nice big fluffy straps. Plus a pocket for gadgets, nozzles, etc.

Hi everyone, good to be back - new format looks good, will take some getting used to but I like it already! This is a video of my medical kit. I call it that because it's not really a "first aid" kit - its not designed with really bad injuries in mind, more the day to day staff that just bothers you. I have a trauma kit as well, which I ware in a separate pouch when working, inc. Celox Z-Fold, CAT touniquet and an Israeli bandage. Its a bit long, if you want to skip the preamble it action starts at 3:00.

You could try spooling it on a traffic cone instead of a cube bag. Should have a few cones around anyway for traffic management

I like to think "Doc" was what the tree affectionately called the tree-surgeon who saved it's life in the 1040's. It was eternally grateful and spontaneously generated an arborglyph as it's way of saying thanks?

That's Fallopia Asinus. (Fool's Knotweed) - just messing.... : )

I run a 20" and a lightweight 28". No probs but would not go bigger. The lightweight bar is nice, good balance with the 461

I can sympathise with where they're coming from - but their's is a very narrow and naive worldview, compounded with personal trauma. Nowt s'queer as folks...

Noise pollution and local air pollution definitely a problem with static diesels and two strokes. Woking my friends chipper, used to taste the deiselv in my mouth, just horrible. All the electric stuff is just on the verge of a breakthrough, but the batteries have not quite got there yet, but will soon. Unlikely they will ever make an electric battery powered stump grinder or big chipper though - to get the power and runtime you'd be looking at mains 3-phase surely? Not really practical.

I would just wrap the stem with a ratchet strap a foot above the trapped bar, and fell it with a normal face cut and back cut.

Bought a pair yesterday, 'bout €130. Very inexpensive compared to the higher end offerings - for a part timer seemed like a good compromise. Nice and light too, comfy in the shop but a little tight with very think socks. Today I wore them all day, with the same socks, and they were fine. I thought I would sweat in them, as the day was hot, but no more so than any other boot. No chafing, very comfy. A little concerned at the apparent quality of the leather and cordura uppers, as they look the same as the stuff used to build throw-away builders boots, or "safety shoes" for warehouse, kitchen, factory workers. we shall see. Part way through the day I swapped out the thick socks for thinner ones, and the comfort level improved a lot. There were no chafing or pressing from the interior of the boots, good fit.

Paint them very carefully with super glue. Stops them splitting.

Is the tree on his own land or a neighbouring plot? Is he worried about it damaging a neighbour's property or his own?

SDS Drill vs standard cordless for drilling wood gateposts
Haironyourchest replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in General chat
Depends on the drill. An inline SDS will not have the same torque as a dedicated standard drill of the same weight, but you can finds SDS in a heavy duty variant, with the motor perpendicular to the gearbox. Those are heavy, but very strong.
