I just use Aspen 2, nothing else goes in the combicans. The older backup saws I have kept run on forecourt petrol with Stihl 2 stroke oil added, and this goes in a small black 2L container on the van, or a 5L normal fuel can at base, never in a combican. Neat E5 petrol goes in steel 20L jerrycan, and diesel in black 20L plastic jerrycan. With my climbing rope and 2 strops, each one has different coloured karabiners from the others. Now some may say I have OCD, but I agree to disagree!

Morning all, Lazyish day today, 25 degrees forecast, with 30 degrees tomorrow. I’ve moved jobs around to avoid chainsaw trousers tomorrow. Happy Sunday
-
Morning all, Sorry to hear of your troubles Pete. Digging out a few small stumps locally then day of rest. Forecast 30 degrees for Monday.
-
Morning all, Bit of office work then having a fight with the flail mower to change the hammer flails. Happy Friday.
-
Morning all, Light rain has now gone. Doing one of our annual trims. Small back garden with goat willow and beech that have been managed as large bushes for years. Combiladder and climbing up the tight chimney inside the beech. Then passing long reach hedgecutters through the chimney. Have a good day y'all.
-

Would you say this tree is too dangerous to climb and dismantle
maybelateron replied to TreecisionJp's topic in Climbers talk
I am not trying to be smug here, but if you have your own (decent) mewp, would it not make sense to use it? It is understandably easy to argue something is ok to climb if using a mewp involves the hassle of hiring in. I don't worry about idiots in cars etc hitting my mewp's legs when it is on the road. I quote the customer for proper traffic management, and shield the mewp with other vehicles/chipper etc. If customer isn't happy with the cost of this they can get someone else in. -
A bit perplexed by the tax on a new landcruiser. . .

Think it does look gibberish. Rural consumption will always be better than city. WTF? Was the data input zombie smoking strong weed?? -
Morning all, Grey and cool here. MEWP today to dismantle conifer and birch. Rechecked last night and no birds. Near enough to home that it's not the end of the world if I find an active nest and we have to pull out part way through.
-
Morning all, Reducing two cherry tree today. Nice and cool. Have a good day, and don't fall asleep till bedtime Pete.
-
Morning all, Cooler days ahead. Phew.
-
Morning all, Both sons with us for the weekend. About to go for a walk in the hills. Hopefully a bit of a breeze to cool us. Happy solstice.
-
Morning all, Collecting our eldest from airport this am. His plane was delayed, and that saved me from 2am collection. Pottering and quotes for rest of day, plus drinking lots of water.
-
Morning all, Scorcher indeed. Back to yesterday’s job to finish an extra they added. Then crown raises in a car park, but might postpone that if struggling with heat.
-
Morning all, A mere 24 degrees for us today, but 29 due Friday Saturday. Using the mewp today to repeat pollard a weeping willow for a customer who has it done every few years. Hopefully can do it all with silky and avoid chainsaw trousers. Stay safe in the heat.

Morning all, Another blue sky day here. Sorting out workshop now new roof finished and maybe some flail mowing locally.
-
Morning all, Blue sky here, looks to be set for the week. Stay cool.
-
Morning all, Wife and daughter running Glasgow 10k today, then brunch then home.
-
Morning all, Off to see daughter in Glasgow for the weekend. Busman’s holiday as got to prune a cherry tree and may be a holly for her. Hopefully the Aus poles will fit across the rear seat in wife’s car, with dog in the back. Have a good weekend when it gets here.

What the most unusual thing you have found in a tree
maybelateron replied to Henry218's topic in Climbers talk
Complete house brick inside the main crotch on an old horse chestnut. Also had to use 9 inch angle grinder in an old beech to remove steel framed tree house. -
Morning all, Roofer is replacing workshop roof today, so staying home to help out. Looking forward to no more dripping condensation 😀
-
Morning all, Blue sky here. Another regular hedge trim today. Have fun, stay safe.
-
Morning all, Wet here to start, drying later. Trimming Laurel hedges today. Boring, but regular work for decent customer, so I’m happy with that.
-
Morning all, Sorry to hear of your cat woes Stubby. Our 12 year old chocolate lab nearly succumbed to pneumonia while we were abroad, but bounced back fortunately. They melt your heart then break it, these furry fellers. Pruning small garden trees today.

I use my 1975 series 3 Land Rover for all the local non heavy towing work once we are out of winter and not in a heat wave. Avoids DPF congestion in the Hilux.
