    Yep, lightweight ones. You sweat less, or rather, you sweat more efficiently.

    The wicking fabric is a great idea, but I generally always wear woolen thermals under my trousers, and I find I get away without washing them quite as often... or maybe people are just to polite to mention the smell. Surely that wicking fabric gets pretty rank after a few days!

    Fourteen and a half spruce, a handful straight felled but most tugged down with the tracked chipper. I managed three without touching the ground, and could have swung over for three more, but thought I should probably go down and be social for some of the day. Heading back at some point for a sycamore, a dead pine, and the lowest limbs of a macrocarpa overhanging the laneway. 20250315_121849_1.mp4

    I can't help. Sorry. But you've shamed me into giving my 200 a scrub later. Your 220 is... freakishly clean.

    The above is an absolutely perfect example of why discussing anything whatsoever with yer man Gareth is a pointless endeavour. I would ask "what in the everloving Christ are you talking about?", but I don't care, and it doesn't matter. Nothing you say does. Nonsensical drivel.

    Yaaaas! That'd do the trick.

    Going to need to see proof of age 75+. I demand a ring count. 77... 👀

    Come on, you can't blueball us here. Pics or it didn't happen. Is it visible on streetview?
  10. peds
    That's a great idea, I'll look into it. 👍

    I'm a yuge fan of my waders, mostly used for foraging seaweed and oysters, and for dragging the kids around in the canoe. Cut protection... not the best.

    True, unfortunately importing them from the UK to Eire makes it not such a good deal, which is a shame. There's a few options here, anyway.
  13. peds
    Yeah. It wouldn't suck quite as bad if you felt your money was being spent a little more responsibly. Maybe the currently French resident members wouldn't agree with me (or maybe they will? Who knows...) but I didn't really mind paying taxes quite so much when I was there, as it was clearly visible pretty much all around my particular corner of France. It felt like you were getting good value. Doesn't really sit that way with me here in Ireland. Probably the same in the UK too.

    Looking at various years and values of Hilux at the moment. Seems a good choice for the west coast of Ireland, a lot of long-lived specimens around. The tax is what the tax is... I feel we should probably pay a bit more anyway, seeing as the campervan doesn't cost us much in the grand scheme of things, either tax or insurance. I was stuck in the Passat on the roadside for half an hour earlier, clutch not engaging... managed to nurse it into gear after the engine had warmed up, and just repeated the process now... but I hope I can do it at 0700 tomorrow as well. I've topped up the hydraulic fluid, that might help? I'm not mad at the Passat, that thing has been asked for a lot over the last six years. I'm surprised it's lasting as long as it has.

    I wonder if this little chainmail glove would do the trick! Used in meat processing plants, fish factories, that sort of place. I forget how it came to be in my possession.

    Looks like your toaster is broken... 👀

    This is of course true, but they never go quite so far up the calf as a welly do they. And water tends to get in through the same hole that your foot uses to gain entry. Sod it, I might try and find some chainsaw thigh-highs.

    Stihl .325 Inch & 4.8mm 2 in 1 file holder | Robert Kee Power Equipment ROBERTKEE.IE Shop the Stihl 2 in 1 File Holder suitable for .325\" & 4.8mm chains. sharpening your saw chain by... That's the fella then. 70 euro seems a lot though, you can probably find one cheaper. I think I paid 55 euro for mine.
  21. peds
    Understood. To be honest, I suppose a change of socks and a space on the radiator overnight would probably solve the same problem that chainsaw wellies address...
  22. peds
    That Milwaukee gets great reviews, solid choice. What size chain does it take? I recommend the Stihl combination file for whatever size chain it takes, does teeth and rakers at the same time, quick and easy 👍

    Sounds an awful lot like victim blaming there. How dare that 7 year old running across the road dent Sharon's SUV with her skull! The nerve!
  24. peds
    Specifically the chainsaw wellies, not wellies in general? I pretty much live in wellies, most practical bit of footwear ever invented, and I've never found them uncomfortable. I'll probably get a pair of chainsaw wellies one day too, because it seems a logical thing to do. If nothing else, it should add a bit of time onto the lifespan of the more expensive lace-up chainsaw boots... hopefully!

    People generally say the wellies are shite. You'd be better getting proper boots, if you can spare the cash for them.
