    You are absolutely right, a lot of it will get ignored. So metalwork preferred over soft goods that aren't semi-disposable...

    I already asked them for Silky blades, the new stand arrived yesterday! And my new Zubat 330, now I've got the old one for connies and a new one for apple trees... I did tell them, I don't know if there's enough business in the area to have a great range of anything... they'd be looking at the cheapest harness and one slightly fancier one, the cheapest spikes and one slightly fancier one... etc.

    That's exactly it, stuff to replace the things that you accidentally throw in the stream or buzz a bit too close with the saw 👀

    HARD agree. Good shout.

    Ah, here in Ireland, every single petrol station and corner shop has a hot deli counter with sausage rolls, bacon sandwiches, chicken salad baguettes, pastries, tea and coffee... it's a great setup. We have just such a place 150m from the chainsaw shop.

    I was chatting to one of the guys in my local chainsaw shop earlier today, he was asking where I get climbing kit and things. They are interested in selling a few arb bits, but neither of them are climbers so don't really know what they'd stock. What bare bones minimum climbing or rigging kit would you expect or hope to see in a provincial chainsaw shop? Not a huge space to fill... it's probably only a 30m² shopfloor, and most of that's already filled, obviously. I'd bet they only want to fill a single display rack. Any ideas?

    No, I don't own one. Nice idea though, be handy in all sorts of situations.

    Here's a late friend of mine block chopping. Peace out, Ocky.

    But the bent out of shape bit is the point... so you can have the spine against whatever hard surface you've got, but the gate is still available... I have steel ones similar, too, that also don't look bent... because they are a different product... I just prefer things, generally, that are midline attachable...

    Looks like? Dude, it's wavy straight out the box... 40kN breaking strength... (Are LOLERers allowed to fail functional kit because they personally aren't familiar with it? That's bollocks.) As with literally any carabiner, they are piss easy to open and close as long as you've been shown how to do it...

    Any reason why I should use this thing instead of the following thing? CMC DNA Carabiner | CMC PRO WWW.CMCPRO.COM Unique “helical-shaped” connectors with a twisted carbon steel body designed for 90° rotation of any...

    Smashing story, anyway.

    New thread needed I think!

    I'm going to save myself a bit of cash and invest in one of these bad boys instead of a GRCS!

    Can't argue with results!

    My sympathies. I'm off to climb some ivy in the rain. Edit Ahh, it's not so bad. I've climbed worse.

    Oak-ome on, and no malus intended, but I think yew should teak a proper look at it, and think of alder other species it could be.

    I run DeWalt batteries so I'm looking at this thing, but after 2 days wrestling a 4m griselinia down to shoulder height and another 2 in the near future, it's moving up my shopping list quickly.

    You'd need to add the safety squint too, just to be sure. Well I've just killed a wire one, maybe I'll get the nylon this time and race them.

    Career change

    peds replied to Hereford's topic in Employment

    How old are you, Hereford? I'm currently 5 years in to the career change, I'm now 38.

    Solution: find a source for those honeypot ants, and have them farm your aphids. You can then eat the ants. Honeypot ant - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Try not to let them escape into the wild, they might be invasive. But they sound delicious, so every cloud would have a silver lining.

    I recommend growing them at home, I'm taking half a dozen to my customer tomorrow because I have too many. Not sure how I'd turn them into Creon medicine to be honest, but at least if we cover some of the culinary side of production, that'll leave more for medical purposes. Any more knowledge on the subject?

    That was my exact second question! Does seem like you'd be more susceptible to ninjas sneaking up on you and such. I was hoping someone with first hand experience could quell my fears. Might just stick with the skinny ones, I have no complaints about them.

    Shhhhh! Don't mention bird flu! That's not my input. That's official government policy. Just don't talk about it, and it'll probably go away.
