What would you hope to find in little chainsaw shop?hop?
peds replied to peds's topic in General chat
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.

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.
-
Yeah, definitely wooly aphids on some of those. They can also be a vector for spreading diseases around a tree, or indeed sharing them to other trees. Focus on them, and the tree might improve.
-
Companion planting, encouraging biodiversity, eliminate all chemicals from your garden (and your neighbours'...), and as a last resort, you can buy a box of them from the Internet. But... without enacting all the other steps first, they'll either die or fly away.
-
Off the top of my head, the best solution for wooly aphids would be wooly ladybirds, but if you can't find those, regular ladybirds will do.

Have you practiced applying it? I have an Israeli bandage in my kit, I'm fairly confident I could wrap myself up successfully with a leg injury, but if I'm applying it one-handed to an arm wound, my plan is to enjoy the view and bleed out.
