There's a lot of truth in this. Not an easy pill for many to take though. 

I would say, that if you reasonably healthy, not lazy and don't have any bad habits.,you can survive in almost any economic situation

Really! 10% inflation is bearable when wages are stagnating? I've a feeling the put up and shut up attitude isn't going to last. Barristers, medical staff, rail workers, et el are on strike or being balloted to go on strike. It is not bearable for lots of people.

Im not saying its easy, Im just saying it's better than 2008 crash, and ofc I absolutely don't want all that sh... t going on, but it's happening, ofc we need to protest and vote out people who failed, still it is not that bad yet, let's see Winter.

I am actually a Brexiteer, but I do recognise that it has caused some increased costs.  When you move house it costs a lot of money, but we still do move house when our existing house is no longer suitable for our needs...

I don't think it's A Brexit alone, Covid, and ofc MISTER Putin, isn't.

isn't hyper inflation the very definition of inflation going out of control? If not, at what rate of inflation is it considered hyper inflation?

Maybe I just didn't explain correctly, I didn't say that hiper inflation is OK, but up to 10% it's bearable, last one I remember it was about that rate and lasted about 2 years, but one morning we wake up and all prices went up like 10x times, most people who didn't have savings in dollars, or German mark, lost everything including my family, we survive tough, it was still possible to get jobs and some sort of income, it wasn't easy. Usually printing Mooney, and giving them for noting during economic difficulties causing inflation, if government fails to control it, its become a hiper spike.

This lad has made a few basic errors.

 

You can only top connies as flat as a witches tit.

If they keep banging on about a ‘Christmas tree shape’ then let it be someone else’s problem.

 

I’ve no problem with him dumping the stuff, but £40?

That’s £20 in yesterdays money.

 

It’s not worth the hassle.

I, Didn't pay attention for the price, for that Mooney I couldn't bother, they just didn't charge enough to make customers happy😁! 

I am from East Europe, and seen 3 x hiper inflation spikes in my time, I can say that inflation is not that bad if its not going out of control, better than stagnation we had in 2008,9,10, cause economic activity still going on, just quality of live is lower, you can't afford some thing, but you will survive for certain, that my experience.

Nightmare. Just have to wait for the hedge to grow up to match, I guess.

Exactly, I always saying to customer that high isn't a big deal, it will grow back pretty fast, so let's cut it slightly lower, and so on just don't loose temper.

Good for them. We don't do cedar shaping anymore because clients always expected a "Christmas tree shape" even after explaining that if you go past the secondary growth it ain't growing back. Management of customer expectations is difficult sometimes 🙄

If customer wanted, but it cannot be done, I apologise and walk away, usually they stop me half way and agree with my opinion. 

Some lads just not born for private difficult clients, I seen that many times, there is always possible to find a way to sort that piece fully, any publicity of that sort even if you are right, not good for the business, sometimes best way is apologise and lose the Mooney.

Aye that may be true but if ur cutting in front of a harvester on the las tof edge trees or on a steep banking gully do u just phone ur boss and say a bit hot today do u mind parking up ur 1/2 million quid machine for a few days??

 

 

Don't get me wrong if u could plan ur work beter esp in forestry u can start early doors 4 or 5 in morning and save brashing in the shade for heat of day and do felling or more snedding outsiders in the early morning cool.

But unfortunately it doesnae always work like that , as chances are a harvester driver planned the work from his cool air conditioned cab 😃

 

 

I abslolutely hate the heat but wearing decent breathable/wicking base layer/lycra type stuff it is easy enough to wear long sleeves in the hottest of days.

and modern cutting pants with zips and breathable bits arenae half as bad as they used to be

As has been said drink plenty of water BUT also add elctrolytes to it.

Seemingly u can buy 'proper' stuff dor bikers/atheltes

Last year i would add 1 or 2 sachets of 'skitter' powder ( that dairrohah? stuff and do think it made me feel a lot better/fresher less sleepy on the drive home.

 

 

 

Was just thinking about the not wearing cutting pants, i'd honestly never dream of it on a commercial site.

If the forrester caught u, at very least u would be made to put them on and a 'yellow' card, but most would kick u off site. many would ban u from all there firms sites.

And go nuts at ur boss.

If they did let u back on they would never be away from ur site wondering wot other things ur up to.

 

But i do understand with climbing ur cutting/saw positions are completely different and trousers offer far less/no protection to the areas ur likely to catch/cut.

 

I am actually off today, away back to milling for another couple of hours and i have got some cooler work to do for the worst of heat if it comes as far north as us.

 

Stay safge, drink plenty, keep in shade ( wear long sleves/collar tunred up and put some electrolyte stuff in ur water

Sorry for you, sometimes it's can not be done, but did you speak to the boss about that, I think there is always alternatives can be found, maybe reschedule to few Saturdays or even Sundays, or very early start, compromising on PPE, not very good idea in any circumstances, not that I'm not did it😳

You can kill just about anything off by painting or spot-spraying the stump with Glyphosate at 9:1 stump treatment strength. Do it immediately it has been cut down when the cambium layer is fresh and green and the sap ways are open and it'll take it all in and that will be game over. 

Absolutely true, did it many times work 100 %, sometimes I drill 10 mm hole in the trunk filled with Roundup  bio, and it's gone. 

Are you all dieing from hunger, or something, take few days off lads, won't hurt you in long term, I fixing my van, and servicing tools next two days, maybe split few rounds in the morning or f that, will have a beer in the back garden, if you can't afford few days off, you obviously doing something wrong I think, maybe it just me.

Absolutely 😊

Never had, any modern climbing devices, I love hitches and knots,well and pulleys.

I remember watching some docu about fisher folk in malaysia living on a floating village or some such thing. All the very young kids were so agile and assured climbing about like gymnasts  and working at various manual tasks.

 

In the  UK I have  noticed many  kids are  so un coordinated they can hardly catch a softly thrown  tennis ball etc.

 

Thinking that the huge contrast in early enviroment must make some difference to  a childs future developement skills etc.

 

 

Absolutely agree with that. 

OK, I did some experiments yesterday, and I can say that core of my Marlow gecko can lift half of my partly loadet transit, that may be 1.5 ton(atleast a ton) , hovever I must admit that I wasn't right about 16 strand ropes, as I managed to get metre of samson blue I believe, and core of that rope didn't lift same load, and look very dodgy to me, so my apologies I WASN'T RIGHT , all my other ropes are kernmantle and core of them hold my half truck even on nearly half of them cut. Good channel on Tube, trow interesting video,

Be careful! Steve does Muay Thai... I heard back in the day, they called him "Raging Bull-Man"😳 

 

Sorry, my little joke a bit late to the party....

 

With regard to ropes in trees, there a YouTube vid of a guy doing a break test on a polyester clime line that was stuck in a tree for 19 YEARS. It failed at just under it's rated brand new strength.

Holy Moly didn't know about Muay Thai, will take few karate lesson before debates, I hope it will be peaceful. 

In my woods "old fashioned way" is debates and experiment. SORRY FOR MY CRAP ENGLISH.

It is infantile. That was my point. So is suggesting that someone from the internet met you to settle your differences the "old fashioned way"

 

Never mind. It's not funny when you have to explain it.

If you explain something, you did something wrong.

Yes but some of it may have started from english not being a native language of one of the protagonists, even the british standard he posted defined kernmantel as being different from most modern arb ropes.

 

I too will leave it at that.

I usually always apologise, for my bad English, but, if you have a little bit of intelligence, you will understand what I'm saying, isn't?
