The Foxer

The defoxing annexe has been wreathed in fog for the last two days. Roman and me took advantage of the conditions to try out a new toy, a 6kW STIHL fog cutter. Carried either knapsack-style or on the hip like a clearing saw, the cutter can be fitted with 1m or 1.5m hot wires. We used the shorter ones for our first sally and quickly got into the swing of things. With Roman cutting and me stacking the blocks, it took us less than thirty minutes to clear the courtyard, and – after switching roles – only a further hour to clear the entire car park. Last year, using traditional cleavers and fog hooks, the same task took us the best part of a day!
