Warm dry snake houses?I'm going to weld up some 44gal drums together side by side and build a bit of a stand to sit them on and have access to each end so I can load one end and take them out the other when I want them, I think it will work fine, I just need to get around to building it.

Got bitten by a spider the other day while walking through the bush. Didn't see it but hurt pretty good for rest of the day. apart from that, am so pleased to be able to go anywhere without fear of snakes or the like.
On a different note, does anyone across the ditch know anyone in Queensland that an help me source some gum seeds from the Blackdown Tablelands? The gum I'm after is native to that area. Have been test plantations here in NZ that are doing well but have been disappointed by the lack of give-a-shite by at least one of the guys involved in one of those trials so trying to buy my own seeds and have a go myself. Just a bit tricky trying to find anyone I can trust to positively ID the trees and sell me the seeds they collect from them.
New or newly sharpened chain, AKA metal detectors?
Took me a few years to finally introduce a rule to not cut anything on a fenceline unless someone else is guaranteeing the chain/s. It's amazing how many people who, funnily enough, own their own chainsaws, suddenly remember they didn't want those trees cut after all.
Made me think of @RandyMac old growth spiders thread. Wonder if he's still working on a book. The mans writing makes you feel like your there with him.
That’s why I have all the respect for our Aussie brothers. You watch any program and everything down there can kill you. Fish, spiders, insects, canines, crocs, snakes, even have birds that attack and stomp you to death. You guys have big balls to go cut wood. I’ld be sitting in a locked room sucking my thumb.
I agree, red oak takes a long time to season, one of my favorite things about black locust is how quickly it will dry out, very low moisture content even when green.
Congrats! Rangers are being reintroduced this year here in the US. The last plant that built them is about 6 miles from my house - site is being redeveloped for residential.
Only offered with 2.3L EcoBoost and Electronic Ten-Speed Automatic Transmission. Would take me a while to learn to shift with my left hand.

fresh sharpened chain. i did like @turnkey4099 and went about a foot above the old wire i could see and made my cut. got the big rounds in the bucket ok but figured i'd noodle them before lifting them on the splitter. that piece of metal (nail?)was near the center of that tree that was probably 75 years or more old. t It was only in the 1 half and no signs of metal in the other half. Iv'e cut trees in the middle of a big woods with no signs of fences,tree stands,etc and have hit metal.New or newly sharpened chain, AKA metal detectors?
