Chuck,
there are many better chemicals for this idea.
Nitroglycerin is stupendously unstable.
Also the technique you describe has some very unpleasant side effects.
Also under current anti terrorist legislation, you're looking at serious time in prison.
It is a tempting thought though...
Anyone on here ex army?
Are thunder flashes legal to own?
It was a joke. But in retrospect, posting that probably got me on a watch list, since GCHQ is only a couple miles from my house .
Also you really think just any bobby can arrest chuck norris?

Nitroglycerine
Pros:
Can be made with kids chemistry set
cheap
1 kg could level a building
Cons:
very unstable (direct sunlight can ignite)
100% ilegal
How to make:
1-Cool 13 mL of nitric acid using the ice created by the
refrigerator.
2-After it has cooled, add to 39mL sulfuric acid (99% h2so4),
mixing very slowly.
4-Cool the new mixture to 10-15°C, which we can measure with
the thermometer already “invented.”
5-Slowly add enough glycerin to cover the entire surface of
the acid.
6-Keep the solution below 30°C.
7-Stir gently for ten minutes, then the nitroglycerin will
form as a layer on top of the acid solution, while the
sulfuric acid will absorb the excess water.
8-Filter out the nitroglycerin and place it in sodium
bicarbonate, which will neutralize much of the acid remaining.
This will help to stabilize it.
10-Now slowly and carefully remove the nitroglycerin from the
bicarbonate.

I have got one of those cheap Chinese imports laying around and I was wondering if anyone wanted it. I have no clue if it works and I don't really have time to test it.
collection from Cheltenham , or I could post for about £20.
If anybody wants it, I need to know by Wednesday.

You can get away with a lot just by looking official, I guess people put a lot of trust I a uniform.

One has every right to remove sufficient of an obstruction to enable one to walk past it, this does not give one the right to remove the obstacle from the whole path. I don't know the rights or wrongs of using a chainsaw to do it but I'd be happy to do it with a handsaw.
You could see if the council have appointed a volunteer path warden for this path and offer to do it.
Our local Ramblers footpath secretary liaises with the county council, whose rights of way budget has been reduced from £500k/annum to £100k/annum, and they cover volunteers for insurance purposes to deveg footpaths (no power tools though).
Myself, depending on location, I'd just do it.
Bit big for a handsaw, since it is bout 16' where it blocks the path. -
Just be discreet about it, handsawing instead of chainsaw, wait for darkness.
Yeah I know I could get away with it (just wear a hi vid and the dog walkers won't mind ), it was more a question of would I get into any trouble if I did get caught. -
why don't you report it to the council,they are obligated to keep public footpaths clear
Yes they are, but that doesn't change the fact that they don't do any work on any footpaths, outside of the town. Trees falling on paths and just being left blocking them, is very common in my area. the only reason I am considering moving this one is that I have been climbing over it every day for A month. -
If you're working in the wood/coppice/forest, then I don't see a problem. If you happen to be walking through, find a tree blocking the way and think, "Hmm. I'll pop back with a chainsaw and move that." Then there may be a slight problem.
I am not working it the woodland, it is just a path I use daily to walk my dog. I would guess the woodland is not managed, since it is on a slope, has multiple public foot path and has no timber of any value.
So in this situation where the council/land owner clearly do not care to do anything, do you think it is acceptable to clear the tree from the path, since it is both a nuisance and a hazard? -
I know it is the council/land owners responsibility, but they don't seem to care. I want to clear it because I walk my dog on the path daily, and it is a real pain to get past/over it.I guess it would be up to the landowner or council to clear the Tree to make it safe and clear the path.I know of one fallen tree in a woods I work in that has been left by the landowner to stop 4x4s driving up, but you can still walk under it.Why do you want to clear it?
I doubt it has been left intentionally since there is not a chance, of anyone getting a 4x4 up.

What are the legalities of removing fallen trees, that are on a public footpath?
I am not talking about taking them for firewood, instead just removing the tree from the path and leaving it in the woods.
Any advice, would be much appreciated
