Gotta love those miners. I had a geo once suggest to me that I should be using a full face motorcycle helmet for tree falling. Apparently for better protection

Go the next step and have a ROPS/FOPS protection suit for the body?

Or a bear proof suit, not sure how quick you would move down those escape routes though.

I once got asked why i wasnt wearing a chainmail suit to climb in! he was serious too!!

Josh Wrigley · 29th May 2011, 09:15 PM

That's because only chain mail can stop chain saws

Eric Frei · 26th June 2011, 08:51 PM

All these were within 100mm of the surface.

I did not grind but the guy digging the stumps out broke the water one, had to cut a root to make way for repair, see the nice new piece.

A couple of the water pipes go straight beneath the tree.

Was in a pool area.

I always find it amazing that the people who put in wires and tubes for the pool equipment don't post a map where things are, and forbid planting in these areas.
