    I have and am wary of it. It's better than using a fishermans/scaffold knot!!!

    Make sure you use you thumb on the throttle, to keep the saw level and try using a pushing chain. It's harder to control the saw, but easier to see the progression of the cut, the height and if the bar is 90 degrees to the felling direction.

    As bob said locksmiths. GT85 is great, especially for silky blades, the teflon helps reduce sap build up

    Windblown trees can be hard work. I cut my teeth in forestry by doing months of it. Was never put through my ticket though. I don't know if it would be of value to me now unless its related to storm work in the arb field

    I have to go look at some work and i'm relying on the fact that if I take a saw with me no one will call
