The farm and woodland is about 5 km from my place. It was about -3c so quite fresh but not too bad. Here is the tree, pretty standard looking Norwegian Spruce.

Is t that the truth? I contract climb for a couple of firm in Oslo. Leave the house at 0545 - 0600 if I leave later then I get stuck in traffic. It is usually an hour on the road. Climb for the day and leave anywhere between 1430 - 1530. By that time the traffic has built up and it will be...

Correct Mick. I would like to grow my own business further but there is one firm out here who are generations from this area. He either went to school with someone, his parent or his grand parent know them. He is a mate and a great guy, so I figured dont be salty. I climb for him, charge a...

The area I live in has hundreds of Bark Beetle kills, literally hundreds. Beetle kills rhem off they get left for years until they fall. Nesodden in also 90% ants nest. So if ants done get them, or just the decline in the integrity of the wood they usually snap.

I am self employed. I run a small Arborist business called Ekspert Trepleie As. www.eksperttp.no That was one of my own jobs but I do still contract climb for a couple of firms. I have been self employed for about 20 years.

Another snapped out Spruce beetle kill. It was supposed to be my last day last Friday but a customer was pecking my head. A tree went over in the storms about 6 weeks ago and hung up in an Oak tree over her annex. Suddenly it was an emergency and needed to be done before Christmas. It...

Wow. That’s a lot of chainsaws.

Up in the woods for a family outing to cut a Christmas tree. They serve porridge and coffee at one of the open cabins. Kira was very well behaved.

We got round to a storm job last week. Storm Amy had snapped and ‘too far gone’. Bark beetle death spruce. Snapped off the stop and hung up over and small cliff and above a property. Lost of rigging, GRCS type winch on the butt. Two other lowering devices and a couple of guy lines to top the...

He may be short but go back and look at the size of his calves. They are almost the size of my thighs 😜 And yes, he would leather me 😜

Thanks. He definitely works hard. From this to this.

Old photo, can you tell by the lack of quality 😜 Training in Ubon Ratchathani in North East Thailand, 2002. I spent 3 months in a Muay Thai camp there. Living in the gym with the owners and fighters. Was an unforgetable experience for me. The guy in the photo was one of the golden era of...

Other way round I reckon. I have been training Muay Thai since 94. BJJ since 2018. Haakon is way better at BJJ than me. More technical and flexible with an arsenal of submissions. I only have my old man strength to see me through. I have been tapped quite few times by Haakon.. I’d beat...

See if this works. There are some edits of the highlights in the slides.

Cheers Sean, he trains hard. Has a good fight IQ and listens to his coaches. He started Muay Thai at 4 years old so has a few year of training behind him. But it is his determination that impresses me. Very calm and collected and seems to take it in his stride. Best thing to compliment this...

Haakon was back in the ring today. First Muay Thai fight in 4 years. Adult C class, fighting a 22 year old guy. Haakon put on a technical masterclass for two rounds and battered the opponent. The opponent quit on his stool and didn’t want to come out for round 3.

Yes that's correct. To prevent warping during the drying process.

I know, but they are not my planks. The home owner is going up there tomorrow. They are going to separate with 2x1’s between planks and then about 5 ratchet strap per log. I did offer to do it for them but they said they had materials and straps.

Fallen Oak, Birch x 2 and pine clear up. Had the kids out with us to help. All chipped into the woodland and logged up the first day and then today we milled the bottom 6 metres of the stem for some boards for the customer today. We also felled a goat willow and winched the footballs back into...
