  1. 22 month dry oak WWW.BITCHUTE.COM 22 month oak seasoned dry straight into fire/ceramic tile stove strawberries on 3 december 2025... WWW.BITCHUTE.COM strawberries with flowers in December in Romania... Seems uploading videos on this forum doesn't work! We'll always have a bitchute πŸ˜‚πŸ™„
  2. burned a few oak since about a week ago. so far behaves like hornbeam ,burns slow lasts longer the bark crackles if added to an allready hot fire. but the shocking thing I found in the garden today, 3 december... The 25-26 years old strawberries (wich by the way are green even in winter/freezing conditions) have flowers and I'm not sure if there were any polinators around ,even fruits... The world and climate is going to hell πŸ€”πŸ˜± I don't ever remember strawberries having flowers in December... If it doesn't freezes in december and somehow they get polinated I might eat strawberries from my garden... By Christmas πŸ€” ... VID_20251203_141428695.mp4
  3. "Do this for a living"? nope ,surely not. Just cutting logs ocassionally for firewood. Sometimes someone asks me to cut a few trees that bothers him. I ended up on this forum after getting about 4 cubic meters of oak logs, for firewood about 21-22 months ago. Was baffled by how "stubborn" was to cut by chainsaw yet easy to split by axe. Was a decision of moment because usually I buy beech or hornbeam. Wich I know what's it about and how long it takes to dry/season. Then I found out from some individuals that I might wait 3-5 years for this oak to season πŸ€”πŸ˜± Of course I got even more curios and baffled WTF 3-5 years are they talking about... If after 2 years this oak doesn't burns right like beech and hornbeam have done past winters I'm done with oak as firewood! but anyway, big chainsaws are good for hardwood if you're in a hurry 😁
  4. 60cc seems the minimum for the "average user". Probably too big if you're climbing trees 😁 But for ground stuff I begin to think a 90cc chainsaw is the right choice. (390/395xp). More power is always welcomed. I sure am tempted
  5. 60-70cc seems to be the right spot for a chainsaw for the normal/"average" guy, not professional. BUT: I did got the chance to hold and use/cut into a hardwood log with a Husqvarna 390,old but in good shape. I was impressed ,quite a difference from Makita EA6100P. And same dude ,that is almost always either in forest chopping trees or in 6x4 truck transporting logs , confessed he's thinking about a new Husqvarna 395xp . Because more power= better chainsaw. Who's complaining about weight get back to gim and pushups 😁 I haven't used+carried that 390xp all day or at least 3-4 hours but it didn't felt that much heavier than a Makita EA6100. Chain .325 but it has limits... As for blade length... As long as you need it to be . Women want it longer and bigger. πŸ™„ They must know something
  6. Hey, jokes aside ,lattex/rubbery gloves are good for grip. 😁 A "kind of" good thing when in slippery wet conditions at 20-30 meters in a tree . I don't trust leather for grip. πŸ™„
  7. I forgot to mention: for me ALL grease is "grease"... Since I'm "one of a kind" don't actually use lubricating grease on your leather jacket... πŸ™„ Grasso Foca from Reflex looks like this, and its synthetic(no animals got melted down into the metal box 😁 ). But first "production" boxes DID contain animal fat(best so far for water sealing leather clothes). You could also use rubber jacket OVER leather jacket and rubber pants over normal pants. But boots must also be covered in rubber or they will get wet(socks included...). And if you're climbing 20-30 meters in a tree in rain the rubber jacket must tight around your wrists or water will go straight into your dry clothes... Head covered in same rubber material, or else water will slowly go down your back and... you're wet in no time around your lungs... Pneumonia is around the corner not long(second day...). Same for the neck/chest area. Good luck! πŸ₯³
  8. Rubber or PVC full suit. Leather jacket under that if it's also cold. But your boots+socks will get wet ,unless covered in rubber too. I can't see other materials tough and durable enough to resist pouring rain all day.
  9. I've tried many synthetic jackets ,but many are just for advertise ,a lot of horse sht , even in motorcycling equipment... The longer you stay in rain the more chances are water will get in through somewhere... What I found it works is thick leather AND a good grease(animal preferably as ducks use 😁. ) or even synthetic. Grab a thick (at least 2-3 mm) leather dry jacket ,a cotton rag big as your palm a bucket of grease(I use grasso foca-Reflex) and start "massaging" the grease in that leather. Insist on stiches, that's where water gets in from my experience. Of course ,eventually you might get wet in a leather jacket too but it will take some time. At the end of a normal 12 hour work day in rain you won't be wet. But the jacket will be. You must dry it the time you sleep(if you sleep at least 4-5 hours). Not direct heat, just dry hot air room. Other issue is the jacket will protect you but the pants AND boots will also get wet... In extreme situations just a plastic rubberized "suit" might keep you completely dry. Not that I'm a "rubber sicko"/Latex fan but that's what will really keep water out from your clothes be it light rain or pouring rain ALL day/12 hours or more. Latex by itself is not as tear resistant as rubber. Keep that in mind. But a thick rubber clothing over the leather jacket will keep water out and the leather jacket will keep you warm. Also the rubber coat must be long enough to cover your legs until boots. Or all water will drip ON your pant and INTO your boots... Don't ask me how I found that out... πŸ™„ Cheers.
  10. Of course... You're british,right?! 😁 Around here in Romania we have electric 2 wheel "things" going 90km/h on Highways... And it's worse the more East you "dare" to go... Basarabia/Moldova, Ukraine, God forbid you step into Russia... Anything is possible in Russia... Aliens are afraid to visit Russia... Anyway...
  11. hope he has valid insurance. Even here in Romania a law has been passed to oblige all electric scooter, bicycles, etc to have a valid insurance... It's like a nuthouse anyway here... You could be on your merry way on a one way street and still encounter some electric "thing" on 2 or 3 wheels going 50km/h... On your way, as if you SHOULD expect some lunatic going the wrong way... And not one has a driver license, nothing regarding traffic rules... It's disgusting allready... Even in parcs or sidewalk is like that...
  12. @Mark_Skyland Isn't that a casting defect? How is the "new" part showing? I thought Husqvarna builds quality chainsaws for fcks sake... And I was thinking about a 395xp... Not that the current Makita EA6100 P is doing anything wrong...

  14. Here's an example using that kind of square packing. This one is a 40mm thick steel door to a stove that burns almost anything and survive 😁 I once got it red cherry hot because of... too much coal. Also the walls are from chamotte brick 64 mm thick 120mm wide and about 230mm long. Basically the walls of the stove are 120mm thick ,its all built out of 1200 degrees Celcius resistant chamotte bricks. I think it weighs about 1 ton. πŸ˜πŸ™„. Took me a whole summer to build and it was expensive. By the way : don't mind me too much. I'm a hydrocarbons fan and pyromaniac I make my coffee on a gasoline Shmel-2 burner stove πŸ₯³ Shmel is also a russian thermobaric rocket . Not to be confused
