    Old vintage stihl help identifying model and age and value

    The 020AV was introduced in 1971. It was 32 cc. The 020AV Super, at 35 cc, came in 1979. I ran them for years, until the 020T came along circa 1995. I think I still have one.

    Ropetek Wraptor redesign

    That I have, Sean!! I've bid on three good sized poplars, 6', 4' and 4' at ground level. But, as they were topped years ago, and have had a failure, we'll not be rigging the upper canopy manually. The wood needs to be craned anyhow, so it will be safer to crane rather than rig the tops...

    Battery Saw Onsite Charging

    Agreed. . I don't know the power draw for such a charger, but I just got a 750-1500 watt peak inverter at Harbor Freight for $40...as both mine in my pickup went kaput. I use an inverter to power an electric frig, charge cell and camera batteries, and run/charge a laptop. Edit, TTC above says...

    Amarid/technora natural crotch rigging line?

    It should be fine. But True Blue is the BEST line for natural crotch rigging, which I do a lot of, especially in conifers. Treestuff is offering 20% off on Samson lines till the 22nd. I'm buying 600' for $399. Can't beat that!

    Any Canadians working (legally) in the States?

    While I was inside their office, he asked for my keys, had me take a seat, while he went to search my truck, where my phone was. He hemmed and hawed, chatted with another agent, but I don't think he even bothered to go inside my truck...

    Browning Tree

    That's a western redcedar, which is flagging--shedding older foliage. Normal this time of year, but many trees, cedars included, are looking very stressed or worse, thanks to the recent droughts here in the PNW. Key will be how the tree does the next couple years.

    Spurs and Arch Pain

    Before I became a tree climber/arborist, I worked for a few weeks in the summer of '72 for a gypo outfit based on a floating log camp, in the islands outside Ketchikan. Set chokers, water chased, and chased on a landing (two donkeys, one to work the side, one on the water to yard the logs down...

    Spurs and Arch Pain

    I'll be showing my age here, but these are the original Makalu boots, by Galibier. I've had a pair for over 40 years. Never wore them as they are a tad narrow for me. And, I no longer do winter mountaineering... I also have my very well worn Trappeur Professionals, a trad single mountaineering...
