yeh i got that with the trousers last summer, but they're a godsend at the moment,,
seems the electric sharpeners are frowned upon, to be honest after being taught how to do it properly i think i'm going to stick with the file and go no power..
yes already booked in for rope rescue and sawing up a tree.. 
was a little suprised at all the H&S bow locks... it was bordering on comedy... club under 40

In the test they make you hang a tree on purpose and then realease it. Took me 2 attempts to get the bloody trees to hang.

snow...
we had an oak that had split some time ago but it had split in a spiral all the way up, then hung itself up in a beech tree,, that was fun.,
then a sycamore felled into another, hung up on an old ivy eaten windblow from years ago, we winched it out only to have the two sit up like a teepee,, great fun..
rob, are you guys doing letter box cuts and all that? club under 40
