    Best eye-to-eye sling brand for a VT?

    And 8mm and 30" is still the best dia and length for a VT, right or wrong?

    Which bench chain sharpener do stand by?

    [ QUOTE ] Would you sharpen them yourself if you had a local shop that did a good job sharpening any size chain for $3.50? [/ QUOTE ] Good job sharpening for $3.50? You'd get my chains. :) The shops around here Charge $9 up to 20" and a bit more for any bigger, so I need a grinder. These...

    Carbs Carbs Carbs

    I have saws that need carb work, but I don't think I understand much about the carbs. I know what they do functionally, and I know how to tune them. I don't know what I should do to overhaul them. As some of my saws are right now, they need between $100 - $200 worth of repair work on the...

    Which bench chain sharpener do stand by?

    Thanks for the word about grinders. I can't believe they sell a Timber Tuff for $50. I know so many people will file on the job, but I really need the grinder. I'm not going to get much down filing everyone's chains on the job. I have a whole slew of used chains on the wall that I've never...

    Setting a retrievable tie in from the ground

    What was the problem with your home made systems? Were the holes not big enough or something? This type of thing along with the retrievable redirect are going to be a big shift in my usual routine. I'm not a big fan of the SRT, so I DRT. The problem with using the DRT when using a redirect...

    Setting a retrievable tie in from the ground

    I'd assume that this sort of thing could be built cheap enough to put a huge smile on my face. What do you know about that?

    Setting a retrievable tie in from the ground

    Oh, there you are. Okay, well I saw a series of videos, 1-6, about the supposedly named U Saver. The guy in the vid talks about redesigning the U Pulley. Here's the video of the U Saver/U Pulley, and the rest of the series shows up on the right of the screen. http://youtu.be/K0YjR2juqbI

    Setting a retrievable tie in from the ground

    The U Saver is the Pulley Saver I assume. Is that right? I'm going to get a lock jack soon enough, and I want to have my retrievable tie in system all dialed in when I get it. I really like the speed and viable use of the DRT rope on a pulley and clutching mechanism (I hope that makes...

    Setting a retrievable tie in from the ground

    This is great, Jim. I'll look into the sites/channels these links come from for additional education. I'm trying to advance my techniques like going to the next level. Have you ever heard of the U-Saver V2? It's similar to that ART set up, but I believe it's much cheaper. There are several...

    Setting a retrievable tie in from the ground

    I'm wondering about using a retrievable tie in point that can be installed from the ground. What is available out there, and most importantly, do you have a home made design? The premade products out there are 300 and 400 dollars. $150 sounds more like it, so home made design it is.

    Sequoia National Park

    That's great hiking up there. The trees are great. The rocks are great. The cliff the mountains and the rivers are great too. I hiked 8 miles up 2000 feet along a river and passed Emerald Pool in 1 day. My 75 year old friend I went hiking with who paid for the trip was not please at all with...

    Wood chips with beatle borers

    Here's the results of a test on EAB survival rate in 1" and 4" chips. Survivors were found in 4" and no survivors in the 1". http://www.emeraldashborer.info/files/EABchips.pdf

    Wood chips with beatle borers

    Okay, that sounds right to me, and I just sharpened the knives, ground the anvil, and reset it. I don't assume anything except fungi or disease would survive it.

    What has happened to my chipper

    Oh man, I was so ready for the bad news from the dealership...... $300 total. Haha great. I took the chipper home, took off the anvil, and ground it flat again after the knives ate a 1/2 inch angle out of it the other day. Everything working better than ever last night, then I blew out a...

    Wood chips with beatle borers

    We're taking down a Sycamore with beatle borers in it, and the HO was about to take some wood and mulch from it. I told him not to take the wood, because the borers could get in his other trees at his other house. But I wonder if after the bugs go through the chipper, and then the chips are...
