    Climbing a leaner

    Climbing a leaner

    Yes I will never go up without all of those pieces of gear. There were no limbs on the high side I cut them off. My plan was very simple gaff and cut my way up the easy side and the ddrt down with a blakes hitch on the low side. It work except I waaaaay under estimated the power of that lean. It...

    New Saw and Tremotion Bridge

    Thanks for the tip I will put that on my wish list. They look like the same sort of filter I've used on my dirt bikes. Might still even have some of the oil and cleaner around. I order my bars, parts and some tools from bailey's . 89-135CFM is a big gain.

    New Saw and Tremotion Bridge

    W would like to thank every one for the help I ended up with a MS461 It is a beast of a saw. Dual Port, HD air filter and West coast style felling spikes. The day I got it I went down back and stuffed into a 3' frozen Red Oak stump that was about 2 years old. It cut like an animal. Would have...

    Unicender, HH2 (Hitch Hiker) or Rope Wrench?

    I currently use a RW but setting and unsetting the hitch gets tedious if you switch to ddrt in the canopy it is not bad. I hate to drag it over a redirect with a stopper knot behind it that how I was taught. I am looking into the BDB I am also a gear junkie and a saw junkie. Just bought a used...

    TreeMotion Caritool

    I have been looking at the Transporter it is on my wish list at Tree Stuff and if you have the money that is the way to go. I am pinching pennies probably get more for a penny if you melted them and sold them as scrap. I just picked up a used MS460 and would not trust that on my Caritool. Also...

    Running out of rope and not tieing a knot

    My back has already been broken in a motocross race. But I think if you have contact with the rope your first instinct would be to reach up. But I see your point if you had no time to react you might hit that knot hard. But your saddle and rope should take some of the shock before you are bent...
