    Yeah nar @flock ,got to do the axe thinning gig aswell,so know all about the countless hours with a flat bastard taking off the shoulder of the newly issued axe from stores and the blisters that went with it.All these years latter I can't for the life of me think why on earth we were trained in thinning with an axe when stores were full of racks of Husky 380,s. Treat em mean,keep em keen

    maybe we should turn this into a best chainsaw fuck up - At Waikaremoana as Senior Ranger there I had a Task Force Green worker cut the handle clean of a 2100 with my precious 3120 we had a huge rimu windfall drop onto a track so muppets came back and asked if they could take the 3120- they had jammed a 2100 into the rimu - I reluctantly let them take it on the proviso that their supervisor used it -but no apparently young muppet decided he could handle the 3120 with its 5 foot bar and went around log buried 3120 into it and clean thru the 2100 handle -bloody lovely

    I've found that once word gets round the traps that you're handy with a file to tickle up a saw,you soon go from Nigel No Mates to everyones mate.So ol mate drops off his saw ,reckons it's cutting like shit.Took one look and said 'theres your Problem.'Dickhead had tried to cut a cord with the chain back to front ffs!

    yup they are out there - Had a volunteer bring back a 266 after heading up Waikareiti track to clear a few windfalls - states it wont go -funny says I - I test started it before you took it- ohh says muppet motor starts but chain wont run - yup muppet had bloody chainbreak on - I had a serious discussion with Boss about muppets suitability as a volunteer and before you passed muppet onto me did you actually check his experience -I had not talked to him but simply left saw for him on bosses orders (muppet was a mate of the boss ) never saw him again
