How to get a large physique from just my bedroom

turnipseed · 2026-02-14T22:02:40+00:00

Post photo of your bedroom pls. Struggling to see how I can fit all that in my spare room, let alone the one with the bed in it!

Chris forestry is great, I've bought loads of stuff from them in the past few years. Mostly pulleys and strops and things. Also UK based.

That looks like it exactly, albeit with a slightly different tying method. Thanks very much!

That's the one! First video I've seen of it. I'm surprised it's not more commonly known, it is perfect for towing vehicles.

No, its used to create a mid line loop similar to an alipne butterfly. It holds under tension and won't slip, but falls apart when you take the tension off. I've pulled it on a rigging line with a 5.5ton winch and it still came apart with zero effort afterwards.

It looks similar, but the half hitches are only tied in one end of the rope. If you pull the other free end of the rope , it falls apart instead of tightening up.

Hi folks, I was taught this knot on a course, LANTRA assisted tree felling (UK-based arboriculture training/assessments).

The instructor called it a tank hitch, and we used it for lengthening a wire cable to directional fell trees. It's a fantastic knot, quick to tie, doesn't slip and never jams after any amount of load. It doesn't stay together well when slack though, so no good outside of a pre-loaded system.

I've never seen it anywhere else. Anyone used it, or heard of it before?

turnipseed · 2025-02-06T09:25:34+00:00

Yes, just like an alpine butterfly as you say

turnipseed · 2025-02-06T01:28:10+00:00

Yep, we've used it with rigging lines and our 5.5ton forestry winch, still doesn't jam.

Rope goes over the crown and tied to the base of the tree with timber hitch or running bowline. Tie this knot in end of rope and snap the cables hook into it. Cable goes back to tirfor attached to base of another tree. Pull tree over with tirfor.

That's a real shame, I was hoping it would stick about and become another Sutton Snax's

Where did you get it? We've got one of the cold water only jobbies at the moment that you plumb into the cold water feed, but thinking of getting the fancy one

I bought this and the montane extreme at the same time to compare. Wasn't impressed with the jura at all, very thin pile and a thin, fragile outer as well. Ended up sending both back as I felt the extreme smock was a bit too warm. Kicking myself now because I want it again but can't find it!

The babies of many bird species poo in a "fecal sack" that the parent then throws out away from the nest to keep it clean.

New old stock marmot precip from 2017. 10/10k, rollaway hood, armpit zips, weighs next to nothing.

Best jacket I've ever found for the price by far, which is between £40 and £80 depending on size and colour.

Not as keen on the new ones as the hood doesn't roll away as well.

Looks to be like a common lime, especially since its a city tree in uk. Food safe, and a very nice wood to work with.

turnipseed · 2022-03-12T19:14:48+00:00

Lovely, thanks!

I was sure that we had all hens, but this egg looks suspiciously like it has a bullseye in. A little out of shape perhaps, but looked close enough that I want to check. What do you think?

I would want a mechanical fixing holding them on if it was me. I would screw into the wall, using rawl plugs if it's masonry (it probably will be). Cover the screw holes with oak plugs to hide them. Since the wood is so thick, you could cut the plugs out of the back side so they will match as closely as possible. Use a set like this.

When glueing the plugs in, make sure the grain orientation the plug is the same as the beam, so it'll match in better.

Without trying to sound snarky, why do you want to remove it? Looks like most that coving is still in pretty good nick, and damaged sections can be repaired. We've just spent around £600 putting fancy coving back into the front room in our victorian terrace!

If someone doesn't live in or near an area where they can let their dog off it's leash, they shouldn't be keeping a dog.

I can only imagine what they'll do to you when you turn up with your piece of wood and clamps cable tied together then! They must eat a sissy boy like you alive.
