...you guys seriously have to wear protection clothing when using a weedeater???

Over here in America either we're braver or stupider...we run them things without safety glasses and most definately without the vest...heck, I even usually wear shorts!

Nope.. but I just didn't wanted to take the gear off, we was switching from different tools..
So I'm not overprotective, just lazy.. :P ;D

(I'm using the gloves, because I also manually remove the weed with my hands.. ;) )

LOL- just squint, or make sure the can of beer is in front of your face.  :D

Seriously, I could get that job done just as quickly with a sharp garden scythe. Safer and quieter, and good exercise.   :)

i removed some hoe-grown nevadan weeds the other day from my neighbors yard with a weed wacker...  The stems on the weed were around and inch thich, with the plants 3-4 inches high.  My response when the owner asked me how it went "now i know how lumberjacks feel"  :o :o


true story

Man that's some impressive gear you've got there.  The only thing you're missing is an O2 tank.  :D

I think it's a Danish thing in general, probably something having to do with the 20 hours of darkness during the winter months.   ;)

The yellow jacket is also because there have been a lot of accidents on the nearby road recently..
Four accident with personinjury in the last two years, right outside my house!
(A stupid speedbump in the middle of a light turn are causing it..  :-/ )
So if there happens anything, I can assist people, without getting hit by a car myself.. ;)

at first i thought it was going to be the drug, as you said "removing weed" not "removing weed's"

hmm... before you did that had you been rescueing someone from a burning building or something? just wondering with the suit?
