Hi all
I haven't been around here that much of late but I am just coming to the end of a three conservation course, so I am hoping to get out and about a bit more when that is out of the way. So anticipate many questions from myself.
Firstly, I am doing a week's chainsaw course next month (Lantra CLMC44X and NPTC CS30/31), I'm really looking forward to this as it is quite a sought after certificate in the world of conservation; however I suffer from tinnitus (quite badly at times) and I want to make sure that I am looking after me old lugs. Should I use ear defenders and ear plugs, any long time chainsaw operators with any thoughts on this? (or any advice at all as I am completely new to chainsaws!). I thought with this being a site full of woodland types that I may get some good advice
Also, anyone in Yorkshire fancy a spot of bivvying or a night under the tarp?
Many thanks
Karlos.
