    Yesterday was a fun day despite MISERABLE weather in Ft. Collins ,CO. Luke Glines squeaked ahead of Charlie Wagner in the the prelims and ran away with the Master's Challenge this year. Congrats to Kevin Kelley for his first Masters but very likely not his last. Thanks to all the volunteers and...

    I have a nearly new (worn less than I week) Red Vertex Vent Helmet with forestry system for sale. I have an old scar on my neck that the strap irritates so it doesn't work well for me. $100 shipped to the lower 48 states or if you want the helmet only I'll sell it without the face shield and...

    Chunking down

    A recent accident brought this back to the forefront of my thinking. While chunking down a spar my procedure has always been to take short pieces-the small diameter stuff I'll take 2 firewood lengths at a whack(3-4feet) but as the diameter gets beyond about 8 inches I'm a one firewood block at a...

    I finally bit the SRT bullet.

    Tom, You can be proud-your gentle preching is having an effect. I ascended SRT today-I started to type "for the first time" but it actually wasn't the first time-just the first time that I was a serious ascent with proper gear that was dialed in close enough that it was efficient. Nothing...

    RMC-TCC

    Someone else will have to post the actual numbers but Kudos to Charlie Wagner for winning the Masters'Challenge.

    Skip chain

    The new forum needs some traffic!. How many guys are sold on Skip tooth chains? I am. I run skip on all bars over 22 inches. I would run skip on the 20 Inch bars but I have a roll of standard chisel to use up so I run it on the shorter bars. Skip saves a lot of filing time and seems to cut as...

    False crotch

    I thought that I might need a false crotch for myself today. I threw the chain on the Husky 268XP and I wasn't wearing chaps. Nicked my jeans and DEFINITELY got my attention.
