    Best 20-25” saw for use in the tree?

    Not sure yet. Maybe carb or loss of compression... Guy said it would cost about the same as a new saw - so waiting to find out. Struggling to find a good mechanic here in North Carolina. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brutal tree in roasting heat!

    I feel like you are reliving my last weekend - sort of. The tree psyched me out (found myself waking up in the night, the heat for two days was horrendous). I took a break for a half day and went back to it fresh and wondered what all the fuss was about! 165ft and 25” at 70ft mark. The last...

    Brutal tree in roasting heat!

    I hear you. But... going through that adds to experience. Good call to take a break. This heat has seriously got me thinking about a power ascender. My perspective is that having one would mean more frequent breaks could occur and also that more energy is conserved to work the tree. I am...

    Stihl MS310 stops cutting for "no reason"

    I think you may find the rails on the top part of your bar are ‘widened’. Try taking a flat file and removing the burr edge (careful as it can be razor sharp). A tiny ridge can cause what you are describing. Try to rotate the bar from time to time to make sure wear is even. Let us know how you...

    Endless sling - shorten.

    Ha! Such a simple and neat solution. The last wrap is the one that counts and will self tighten. Nice. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Endless sling - shorten.

    Your answer got me thinking.. How about this: Normal choke around the log leaving a desired loop length to clip to the speedline with the free end being cow hitched above and backed with a timber hitch. This means that the weight of the log will chock both bottle and top hitches! Sent from...

    Endless sling - shorten.

    I have purchased a long sling to use for a vertical speedline where the rounds are 300-400lbs. I want to use the sling to choke around the log and clip the free end to the speedline. However, I would like to adjust the free end to remove slack. Tieing a knot is not what I want to do as I image...

    Wrap around handle for 461

    Just bought a 461 and understand that a wrap around handle is available for it. Does anybody have experience / comments about using the alternative Wrap-around? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Big fallen (very heavy tree)

    I am new to the US and based in NC. Learning new tree here which are different from where I come from in the UK. I think, what I have been cutting up is oak. It did not smell like oak as I know it so looking for help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Art Positioner 2

    Excellent point. The scenario I am thinking of is using a 15ft lanyard, as a secondary point of connection, in a moving rope configuration (rope goes around an anchor point) and end terminated in a D ring / bridge. Essentially, replacing the prussik loop on my secondary line. Sent from my...

    Art Positioner 2

    Hi all, Can this device, when used on a long lanyard, be used to descend? I am wondering if it ‘jerks’ when under tension? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sthil 2 in 1 Sharpening gauge

    I am thinking about buying one but have a question: Does it ensure the length of each tooth is the same or is it still necessary to count file strokes to ensure an even chain? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
