Hello there, I have a bit of experience with the chainsaw trouser market as we have to wear them at all times here in the UK. I have used SIP, Stihl both the hiflex and the normal, Oregon, Pfanner, Stein and Arbortec All as class C trousers all round protection for climbers. The only ones I...

Hello again all. Sorry it has been a quiet year for me as work and family went crazy for a while But I am now hoping to be more active again and the plans are back on for the move. Just got to hope the wife decides what she wants to do over there.

As you can tell I pretty much keep my harness as empty as possible just from being in it all day everyday. Just means I am not carrying extra weight for no reason.

You could always try this as this is what the company I work for uses for street trees all the time. http://www.ecoplug.com/

plus the looks my better half gets when she is out walking them on the leads is brilliant

when they were castrated their rear scent glands are removed and if they are happy they don't let off their smell. If they did the wife would ring their necks. I do have to say they are one of the best pets I have had and if you train them right they will not bite.

I currently have 2 ferrets both are hobs. And they both live in the house as family pets. Before anyone asks no they do not smell.

you could also give it a knock with the flat side of a hand saw and the sound will be different. It's another way to tell all year round.

My manager had to be rescued at the end of last year as he slipped and put the saw in his arm trying to rush. He couldn't get himself down as he was keeping pressure on the wound.As part of our contract we have to complete 1 rescue every month just to keep it fresh in your mind.

It is well worth the money you pay to go down to him there. Plus he will run further courses with funding for service leavers

I know it is and i hear it loud and clear.Well I am currently working all the overtime I can get plus any jobs I get for myself like a nice eucalyptus this weekend. While the wife is trying to decide what she wants to do over there as she will have to do something. So right now I am banking...

Yes there are a couple of others but he is the main one. He's a really good bloke and a good instructor
