That’s the one. I got three quarters through reading it and now it is in the house somewhere. I should dig it out and finish it.

Nice. Thanks for the reply. The Haida? Are they the people that the logger felled their sacred tree as a protest to logging? He then disappeared and remains of his canoe found but never a body. Pete Mctree lent me a book about it a few years back now.

Thing is with Norway. You can go to work in the morning and it might be just undr freezing or just above. So you wear wool undergarments. Then by 12 it can be close to 15c and you sweating your whatsits off. Then a few days later you leave the wools at home and it doesn’t get up past 7c. I...

Been back to the range a couple of times to do my practice shots and large game test ready for this season. Had a bad back recently so shooting prone has not been the easiest. Only allowed to use a sling but no rest or bipod allowed. 5 shots in the vitals at 100m and it’s a pass. Might head...

Sorry If I missed it. You mention totem trees and dugout canoe. I assume they are from the native tribes up there in Alaska? So getting back to the totem tree, is it just a generic term for a tree that would make a good totem pole or it it actually going to to a res or a tribe to be carved...

Here in Norway we have had it in the low 20c’s for a couple of weeks. Pretty nice working temps but it will get hotter.

Rico is a legend. Might only have been his second pro boxing fight and his first was 15 years ago or something. As I said he is a legend. One of the greatest Heavyweight kick-boxers to ever live. He is no mug and an absolute monster. Peter Fury trained him for 6 months to get him on the...

Liam Harrison was involved in one of ONE’s bangers. Bear in mind that 3 knockdowns in a round is usually a TKO. Liam Harrison fought a very decorated Thai fighter about 4 years ago. Didn’t make it out of the 1st round 😜

They get paid well. Liam Harrison, British guy who fought in ONE Championship said that he didn’t think it was a young man’s fight as they can reduce the lifespan of their careers. But if they are gonna do it at least pay them well.

in theory. In reality I don’t think he would get near her as she is really reactive towards German Shepherds. She was pinned by one when she was a puppy and always seems to try and attack them. Then there is the few thousand miles between us. Other than that I can’t see an issue 🤪

She is usually pretty good when not in season. Gets up when we get up, often puts herself to bed about 2230. Doesn’t help that we have a tenant down stairs who is looking after his friends dog. An intact Cane Corso, Rottweiler, Malamute or Akita mix breed. That thing is a 60kg beast and...

Thank you. She is currently in season and is feeling a bit horny. Whimpering as I hade in the toilet and up around 5am wanted to just let the other dogs in the area k ow she is still available. Probably got another week of this and then she hopefully will be back to herself.

I do what needs to be done. Pruning I use a throw line and SRT with base anchor. Dismantles, I spike but sometimes if I need to set rigging I will access with SRT as it is quicker and then at the top can set an anchor, rigging points and then decent to start the works. If I can just spike up...

I was wondering and looked it up. In professional matches they have up to 4 minutes to do it. It creates suspense and you try and out psyche the opponent and disrupt their rhythm. The scattering of salt is a good luck thing. Like all traditional martial arts they are deep rooted with tradition.

Looks extremely hot and arduous work. Why not just rig a couple of pieces of rather than ripping, slicing and dicing?

Certainly looks a brute. Can’t wait to meet him, after an introduction from my mate 🫡

Not my dog but a friend in the UK had a few issues with break ins and got himself a household guardian. He is also doing some protection work with him. Hugo is a Chinese Red Dog and it 9 or 10 months old and about 48 kg already. This thing would scare the snot out of you in a dark night.

The squeals on the last clip were because the land dropped away towards a cabin. One of the lumps I knocked off rolled that way and wedged in between the trees and was a bugger to cut up. Hence the delight after we built a little catchers mitt to keep the log off the floor and rolling sideways.

Not posted in this thread for a while. Climbed and dismantled a decent sized spruce today. Had Haakon out with us helping in the ground. Surprisingly sound timber as at that size they are often decayed round these parts.
