    Cutting problem?

    Cutting straight, maybe a little curve by the end of a long cut, but not much. The bar looks very straight to me with no chain on. I guess I could take a pic of the cut to show how much curve there is, what else would you like to see, the bar? Is it ok to sharpen that Oregon with a 13/64"...

    Cutting problem?

    I'm having problems cutting through logs right now. I'm cutting Cottonwood and Boxelder. The chain is sharp and the chips are coming out nice and big, but it's almost like the bar is too wide for the chain. It starts cutting fine but almost gets "stuck" after the first few inches of cut. I...

    Replacement chains for Stihl?

    Thanks all, I think I'll just stick with Stihl chains.

    Replacement chains for Stihl?

    I have a Stihl MS 362 C-M with a 20" bar. I'm not a pro, but I do cut about 10 cords a year for firewood. I've been using Stihl's Oilomatic 33RS3 chains but am considering a different brand since they're so expensive. I know the 33RS3 is a full chisel, single humped drive link, and the R is...

    Beginner climbing gear?

    There's a HH2 with holster in Treebay right now. I don't think you'll find anyone here that will say much bad about it. It's a simple multiscender for someone new to learn, and since it works so well, there's really no need to ever upgrade if you don't want. Might want to snatch it up quick...

    King of Random Dies

    It's not tree related, but I think there are some paramotor guys here aren't there? I was pretty serious about getting one before my accident. Grant Thompson, from the King of Random channel died about a week ago. It says paragliding accident, but I think it was a paramotoring accident...

    My selling on the internet days are probably over.

    Wow, that sucks. Seems like he could have contacted you directly instead of going through PP and it would have been fine. Sounds like he tried to scam you on the deal. I'd like to see some pics of your flashlights if possible...

    Am I ropewalking wrong...?

    I'm using the kydex HH2 holster attached to a chest harness with a swivel rope snap.

    Am I ropewalking wrong...?

    I've thought about a chest roller but I can't imagine having the HH2 above it. I've never seen that setup before. If anyone knows of a video of that please post it. Thanks to everyone for the tips about my stride and body and feet positioning. I'll try that also.

    Am I ropewalking wrong...?

    Thanks, I've tried to satisfy the inner child in me when building the house. You can just barely see the disco ball at the top middle of the video, (one of the 2 spot lights for it is the black thing in the center pointing up) I also have a home theater room with Tiger skin carpeting in the...

    Am I ropewalking wrong...?

    Thanks, yes it's my house, it's a dome home. And yes it's a fire pole that goes through all 3 stories in my house.

    Am I ropewalking wrong...?

    So I've been rec climbing SRT now for a while using a HH2, SAKA mini, CT mini and chest harness, and it seems to be going well... but I wonder if I'm leaning back too much and making my arms tired. I try to stand as straight as possible, but it seems like I get forced to lean back and use my...

    Thoughts on Stihl (or other!) "2-in-1" sharpener / rake-grinder units?

    @TreeCo is it possible that you are talking about different Pferd units than the ones that the OP, @LordFarkwad and @Tom Dunlap are talking about? I've never seen the ones you pictured so I could easily be wrong. Yours might just be an earlier version of mine and work exactly the same, I don't...
