Delamere working weekend

Excuse me for poking in, but please explain a chain saw license?
I have always thought it would be a good idea to require a license for a hammer since so much good furniture is ruined by the inept use of them.
Do you need a license to own a chain saw? or to use one? Or just on Forest lands?
Is your license limited to a 12 inch bar or if you have a license does it cover all sizes?
S0rry for the questions. This concept is so foreign to me. I can't imagine being restricted from going to the local hardware, buying a saw and cutting any tree on my property. In fact I have done.

Hi weaver.
Chainsaw licence is just to prove you have had the training in safe use, maintenance, felling etc and its really for contractors for use in the workplace. the training can be extended for all other tree related stuff. Last I heard anyone can still buy a chainsaw (in uk) without one, upto any size (about 4' bar) except the smallest saw on the market! a top handled arborist type, cause of kick back probs and one handed fun. need a climbing ticket for that one.
Hope that helps.

OK, here that would be a cert. Or fully a Certification. I think only the professional loggers get that.
Thanks for the edification.

Goose, have you found a source for Stags Breath yet? I cannot get hold of it for love nor money apart from online, where they want a lot of money! Ten quid postage for a single bottle!

Nope, I am always looking and not found it yet
, If I do I will post up and let you know. Wonder if it is worth emailing the suppliers to find out which shops they have sold it to locally?Been talking to the people at Forest Camp and been told that we can't use chainsaws
, they buy in any trade work(plumbers, sparks, tree surgeons etc) so that they are covered for insurance and any come back there might be, sorry about that to all those that offered their services:You_Rock_ . But we are still wanted for other work around the site, scrub clearing and ditching etc, there are tools on site but I dare say we may have enough sharp impliments amongst us to clear a bit of woods!Up to now we also have to pay the £4 camping fee, I think they have give free camping to groups doing work before and little if any work got done
, if we get a reduction while there it is a bonus but can't promise at the minute Hope to see you all there, it should pretty much work the same as a normal meet, except I will have to get out of my hammock a bit earlier
, the evenings will still be the same and there should be time to do bushcrafti stuff during the day too.
I have spoke to a friend in Scotland to try and source some, and I've tried to get it in through a noumber of offies' but no joy. I'm dry at the moment and get by by sniffing the empty bottle!
Anyone bringing a bow and some arra's? I had a go on Guyceps' bow at the EMCCU meet last weekend, with a 60 lb draw I struggled, but it was my first go ever on a bow and it was tremendous fun! Maybe one with a lower draw weight though this time please!
S o r r y Ben and I wont be able to make this one. Just realised it's Wedding Anniversary. Daredn't miss that or there will be trouble at every other hint of Bushcrafting.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)

Pesty weeds also tend to be the edible ones, so I think it may be possible to combine a wild food workshop with the scrub clearance. It is much easier to try differant methods of cooking when you have a large sackful for everyone to have a taste. Maybe we could try some earthworms as well.
I always feel a bit timid about harvesting the plants at delemere to get some grub, which is why I go along the path instead. So think this will really useful. But we will have to see what needs to be done first obviously. Bushcraft been about using what you find, not hopeing about what you can find, and all that.
Wandering star shame you are not coming you are always up for trying the wierd food
I reckon if I get out tomorrow, I could get some snails and purge them during the week. How about it?
Oh, and I'll try most things, but I draw the line at testicles!

I'm really 'piddled' off as due to me stupidly breaking my right hand I am not able to offer my services at this meet - or even pitch a tent/tarp - I can't even drive so getting there will be a challenge so the best I can hope for is a day visit and that will be subject to me persuading Nat to drive her little punto down.
I'm really sorry Andy

Can't help with getting there but we could help you set up and put away, if you can get there for the weekend come down, you can still brew up with one hand!

Seen this in the other thread. If anyone wants a bottle, go and get your name down and I'll bring them to Delamere. I'll square the money away when i get there!
