Found a great one. UK Map Yes it's not free but less than a tenner. Loads with 1:50,000 as standard. Downloadable 1:25,000 and 1:10,000. All OS maps. Accurate GPS locator no phone signal required (just as well, 3 is shite) recordable searches, post code finder too. Just if anyone is interested. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Cheers guys. Just like to cover all bases

Guys this has probably been done to death. I'm looking for a decent mapping service that will link me into the GPS giving a 10 or 12 figure grid reference when I'm out of signal on my iphone. im thinking in emergency situation here. Something that gives straight OS co ordinates instead of wgs 84. What's out there lads Cheers

I've done a few stoves in the past and this is really just a grander scale with an additional few bits. The difficult bit is getting enough flow and heat into it to support a secondary burn. Not impossible but **** me it's hard with a forced air system, fan/hair drier etc. The the raise in air pressure And heat in combustion at primary and secondary, the increase in volumetric efficiency pressure also increases. Just like an engine more fuel air etc more exhaust. Like an egr. But this ****** burns hotter. Not really something that should be tried domestically, EFW sites require additional fuels/additives to get a decent burn on the go and the cokes up badly. What's wrong with a standard log burner? But if you want a rocket stove then consider changing it slightly and use oil, then **** me you'll have a stove and a half. Even without a forced induction it burns hot and pretty much clean. Add a blower to it and you'll be glowing a cast in no time.

Peanut butter in a barrel that they can't get out of, Give a day or so. You'll have a **** load of them. Or poison the butter.......... your hoice

There a company in Dalry Ayrshire that's does a lot of horse logging.

I'm a tight jam, old fashioned WD40, furniture polish (not for anything you actully touch e.g. Steering wheel) silicon grease. If you're panicking about the rubber degradation....don't. The winter salts, grime grit, temperature, emissions etc etc will destroy rubbers quicker than a temperory smudge to stop sticking.

Cheers. Waiting to be added to the group and I'll find the post.

My first aid ticket is about to run out in Feb. Does anyone know where / who's good for a 1 day or 3 day EFAW+F or FAW+F course. Preferably within commuting distance of Glasgow. Have found a dedicated first aid training company first-2-aid-u.com £70 and £210 respectively. Does anyone have any experience with them? Price seems good to me. Any suggestions?? Looking doing the course (either 1 or 3 days) with the mrs, so would be a dual booking. Cheers

👍🏻 cheers happy days guys

Had a new 550xpg arrive...... Christmas prezzy to me. Haven't ran her in let alone cut yet. But thinking about the world of porting and polish. I understand the theory etc about it. But having never used a saw that had it done. I'm concerned about real world gains on a 50cc saw especially with the electronic fuel control etc. What are the various pros and pitfalls? Reputable workshops? Cost involved? Looking at running it on Aspen; would this make a difference? Would it really make a big enough difference to warrant the work?? Cheers guys

FRJones had a massive sales on before. Ten done a Black Friday one. Doubt they'll be having a sale soon. Forestandarb have boots on sale at the moment and a very nice deal on 550xpg in 15" + (a 15" bar + x2 extra chains) for 560 quid. Decent deal inthink

Picked up 5L bottle at MacGregor ind supplies in Inverness for £18. I thought WINNER! But I'm back in Ayr now. Anyone offer advice on where to buy (my closest official stockist is 90 mins away) Cheers.

For this reason I would not use the stuff, or allow it to be used on me, unless it was life or death. I bought a CAT (combat application tourniquet) instead. I reckon anything less than an arterial gusher will be manageable with Israeli bandages until the ER. These celox and celox like clotting agents do have a proportionate chance of complications in later life. No doubt. Just like what's been said with sticking a CAT on. Crush injury, loss of limb in severe cases or permanent disability slight to severe. But UK someone's garden you're gonna have access to a hospital relitively quickly, golden hour. Forestry site in the highlands of Scotland you can be an hour from the main road and hours from a hospital. Out of reach from a heli rescue (thinking weather here) and the golden hour goes straight out the window. None of us should (and hopefully would) be reaching for the magic pack or the CAT straight away. These are last resort tools. Your choice is simply put; Death or 12% rising to 100% chance of life and full recovery. Blood clots, nerve damage, crush injuries even an amputation if god really hates you all mean you're still gonna see your kids grow up. I know what I'd be choosing.

An army first aid or FFD is fine for cuts and scrapes, even a minor burn (if its soaked first). But let's face it. If you try and cut your arm/leg off. A big fluffy plaster isn't goin to help too much. Unless you're lucky enough to have a mucker that's beside you and manages to keep calm and just react. The celox that melts skin (can be arsed searching the actual name) is awesome stuff. I was attached to the yanks in Afghan in 08. They were issued it, really fucky stuff. It's the moisture that sets it off. Even sweaty hands! I'm gonna annoy people now. I don't care about, the infection (deal with it later), the pain you're in, the scar it will leave behind or not having a medical degree to use it. If on that horrid day I or any guy I'm with needs it. They're getting it. Problem is, it's wank at arterial spray stemming. Celox tape/bandage is brilliant and certainly the next level. Watched the 'pig' on YouTube and seen someone else use it in the field. (Ohhhhhh did the lad scream before someone knocked him out). But he went home to his wife and kids, the medic packed in 1 full celox tape to deep arterial wound in the groin. I've kept a roll + gauze pad under my helmet on jobs with sharps (not just sawwork)

Cheers pal, any help would be great fully received.

Where does everyone get their fuel from, sites etc?

Cheers guys. Thanks for the advice

Cheers guys
