It is usually the white belt battles where a rock with a lack of skill/technique meets and immovable object, also with a lack of skill/technique that make me sore. I love rolling with higher belts. Yeah they pound me, but I still feel more in control to actually try certain techniques. I am...

It was a stupid injury really. He was doing some Muay Thai sparring as he had been offered and MMA fight. Really light technical sparring with the coaches son. Other kid caught Haakons left leg after a round kick. Haakon tried to twist out of the catch by turning to his right and you try and...

Speaking of Martial Arts. I don’t think I mentioned it here, but Haakon fubar’d his knee again on the 20th March. It required surgery again. He went in 3 weeks ago and had successful surgery to his right knee. Seems to be recovering well but still got another 3 weeks on crutches before the...

Haha. I have known Jompoo (the guy who posted the clip) for around 20 years. He runs a gym in Leeds and my mate is married to his sister and runs Kiatphontip Bangkok. We trained there in 2018. Jompop first came to the UK and for 13 month he worked at Keddles Gym in Orpington. We used to...

It’s a 15m long line. We are not allowed to have dogs off leash at this time of year due to critter birthing season. So it’s the best alternative.

The elite has a few extra grits and a leather strop for fine finishing.

Perfect for smaller blades. Kitchen knives etc. No good for axes. I use a Gransfors Puck for that task.

I am still more than happy with my WorkSharp Precision Adjust Elite setup. Hair splittingly sharp. Edit: and idiot proof.

Lovely Stig. Do you have any idea on the age? The older parts of Oslo have some amazing Lime pollards (Linden), as do a lot of the embassy buildings.

Same here. I don’t like working much in the snow but I have done it hundreds of times. I’d like to know where this thought comes from as April fools was a few weeks ago.

Really? Never heard that before. I’d better let every logger and arborist in Scandinavia know.! 😜

I think it a case of the attitude I see a lot of. They have always done it that way and they know best.

On a serious note. I have a friend who has been an electrician for 35 years. He moved here about 10 years ago. He came round to fix a couple of things for us and commented that the system in Norway is possibly the worst he has encountered. Especially compared to UK and Ireland. In fact...

I can almost guarantee. Compared to Russia, it will be twice as likely to break but cost twice as much to fix.

We woke up to a bit of snow as well today.

Turned up this afternoon to rig out a large Birch tree or speed line. About a quarter of the way up there was a cavity. Stuck the silky in there and about 10 inches went in. Didn’t fancy rigging it as I was a bit knackered from the three trees that morning. Originally they wanted to straight...
