At work i use a knife for opening boxes and cutting insulation and stuff, so i have a klien pull thru deal i use, works great for my needs.

This. Sometimes on spreading trees over structures it's quicker to rig because you can swing large pieces, but that's only if you'll be making a ton of cuts if not. We have lots of spreading maples and similar trees, and swinging limbs can save some time over the structures, and you can even go...

Yeah i didn't know that before, and then we were working down a small city street that was torn up for new utilities. Come quitting time the guy in the 450 just whipped it around, and I'm stuck doing the Austin powers turnaround lol.

Let's say you're gonna hit a bump, with a shorter wheelbase your truck will angle up more, and you'll feel it more. Same with steering, the longer the less responsive it is, so you don't have to work as hard to keep it straight. It's a lower sensitivity to adjustments, so it's easier to keep...

The longer the wheelbase the better! I've known pipeline welders that would get a quad cab and long bed, and then cut the frame off just past the shackles to make it shorter, and then run a flatbed or custom one. That way they had the long wheelbase for driving long distance but overall it was...

Yup, which is why cab overs aren't that common over here. Easier to work on too

Being the nerd that i am I've been looking into woodgas and gasification for years, and as promised here's some of the stuff I've found. Disclaimer: I'm sure i don't need to explain the hazards of attempting this stuff to people who run chainsaws while hanging on a rope everyday, but this can...

When it's gasified it's really easy to regulate, and basically works like natural gas does. I'll start a thread

Why is the guy filming that close to the road???!!!!

They filter it and use gasifiers that make less creosote, but the best and simplest is to use charcoal like they did in ww2. They also need ample warm up time to get hot enough before they run the engine off it, and if it's a diesel they still need enough fuel to provide the ignition. If people...

I'm hoping to build something similar, been researching producer gas stuff for over 20 years now :lol:

Yup, works just fine. That way you can tension it, and it won't go anywhere and is easy to untie. Pretty much the quickest way to secure the ends and get back to doing what needs done.

It's handy and I've seen that a bunch, but I'm not a fan because it can shake loose, especially if the load shifts and the strap becomes loose. If that happens it will vibrate violently, and pipe (surprise my most common item I'm tying down) is very prone to shifting. I coil then wrap with the...

The pour point of canola is -9c, which means when a container of it is tipped that's the point where it doesn't even move anymore. I'm not for sure that's what caused it to strip the thread, it's just plastic after all. I didn't notice the temps when it broke, but it does hit -40 here on...

Have they not retrofitted these historic places with sprinkler systems yet?

Yup. This could be one of the biggest advancements in decades, pretty cool.

They've started human trials of turning lymph nodes into livers, negating the need for a transplant. https://www.popsci.com/health/grow-second-liver/
