The number one rule of a knife fight, as far as I'm concerned, is to not get into one. Knife fights, unless you're a seasoned pro (and who really is unless you practice close combat in real life and in training), are bloody. Also, never grab your opponents blade, which can be difficult to not do...

Yes I checked his wiki, Interesting character. But is it really news that to use a long, sharp knife in a knife fight you slash to and fro and stab back and forth (assuming you aren't going to flee instead)??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_E._Fairbairn I've always wanted a Fairbairn-Sykes knife. They have problems, but it's an iconic blade.

That was bizarre. No part of him looks dangerous. Those techniques; were they developed and honed over years from many fights to the death, or did he come up with them 5 minutes before filming began?

I understand that saying perfectly

Ball!

My redbuds are popping

This is an interesting way of avoiding getting your ring to ring stuck during a soft retrieval (they use the Petzel Naja, but I think you can almost definitely use a ring to ring with this technique just fine) by using your tail to have an elevated point through a natural crotch or retrievable...

I think I used to say add 20% to the price if it is going to shatter when it hits the ground. That's easily 2-3hrs extra raking time.

Wasn't sure where to put this. It's a hot deal, but we don't have a hot deals thread. It's not much of an article, but this is the closest I think. Need an FFL in MD :^( https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/you-can-now-buy-a-flame-throwing-robot-dog-for-under-10000/?comments=1

Yeah i didn't know that before, and then we were working down a small city street that was torn up for new utilities. Come quitting time the guy in the 450 just whipped it around, and I'm stuck doing the Austin powers turnaround lol.

Thx for the link I will check it out. I realize it is probably a pretty good unit, just wondering if it seems durable, looks like it is mostly plastic.

Depends on species, clear up specs, clear up machinery/hand-tools, amount of groundsmen etc.

The turning radius is almost the only reason I still have my 450.

Rigging out the tree will be quicker to clean up. Blowing it apart will be quicker to get out of the tree but longer to clean up. If the tree is real dead and possibly not sound enough to take rigging forces blow it apart and deal with the mess. I flopped a real dead silver maple that blew into...

I’m not au courant with your issues, sounds really frustrating. On the other hand, you’re in your 60s iirc. Who is going to employ you? I dream of a hassle free work life where I have none of these problems, just pipe dreams I’m sorry to say. You’re in the same boat as me, in it till the end I’m...

I thought climbing with the foot locking method was way faster.

Let's say you're gonna hit a bump, with a shorter wheelbase your truck will angle up more, and you'll feel it more. Same with steering, the longer the less responsive it is, so you don't have to work as hard to keep it straight. It's a lower sensitivity to adjustments, so it's easier to keep...

Good vibes your way brother. I pray the road ahead smoothes out for you. The Bad Luck Truck seems to be making the rounds lately...

Random Fact: Who FIRST created and developed, then put to market the frozen food concept? Clarence Birdseye (1886-1956) is credited with inventing the quick freezing method in 1924, which produces the type of frozen foods that we know today. Birdseye, an American inventor, entrepreneur...
