Lost me here! Sent using fat fingers on the iPad thingy

Let me just say this. While the camp ground is good I fail to understand why other people feel the need to arrive at camp at midnight and then start the chainsaw to cut firewood and to play music so loud that they have to shout over it to be herd, throw their empty cans and stubbies in to the...

Put your glasses on grumpy and read it again. In the middle of the post was the trip plan.

Good morning all. It has been a little while since I was here but I thought I should share my recent trip to the High Country. This trip was a blokes from work trip.

I was by myself (well had the kids with me) so didn't have a spotter. I don't know about keeping to the right going up as there is not much surface to grip on. I tried to the left and stopped. Took the safe way out and went back the way we came. Better Safe than sorry I think. Any way...

Hi All, I though I would let you know the entry/exit to Thompson River on the coopers creek side is in not very good condition. There are 2 big ruts in the middle of the top and I found it to be not passable (had a couple of goes at it) and I had to turn around and go back the way we came...

The caps have several different layers.one is a felt layer designed to clog the chain. Then there is a kevlar layers for cut resistance. there are several layers of this. they work well For $150 or so they are a good investment. We spend thousands on our vehicles and some also spend hundreds on...

Grumpy, (and others) I will show you the gear at work and have a chat about tension and compression and how to deal with it. I also own a saw at home and I do have fancy pants (as my kids call them) and do wear them all the time even when using the long extension saw. The time it takes to put...

Hi All, With all the wind storms and trees down I thought I might send out a timely reminder about safety especially chainsaw safety. The other day I was out doing my public volunteer duty with an emergency service when I had a little incident. I was cutting a tree off the road when it...

they don't pull them out. They cut them off jut above the ground so the kid can trip over them as they run past.
