    Not good Jim. Too close for comfort & glad you walked away
  2. Pete Mctree
    How did that happen Jim?
  3. Pete Mctree
    Perhaps this or similar ? Mackenzie Chainsaw Pack

    Sensible response. If you doubt that it is serviceable condition, then don't use it!
  5. Pete Mctree
    That sounds worrying Rupert. Have you tested the leg loops manually to make sure that they function correctly?
  6. Pete Mctree
    That's why I ended up ordering something different. Tired of buying crap

    Rails could be too wide or is you powemate worn? Are the burrs on both sides?

    These are the best I have found - mine look like new after a few years of daily abuse Suspenders, home of Better S-Penders, American made outdoor gear for Loggers, Fire Fighters Turnout Accessories - betterspenders.com

    Nice little vid

    Well that's my first lot bought - no doubt I'll be sat near the laptop with a glass of wine in hand & spend more nearer the time

    I agree if it's just dulled - I am talking about damaged chain (should have been clearer, sorry ) Even then, half way through the chain I will often grind it to get it perfect. I sharpen as well as anyone else, but I am super intolerant of blunt/poor cutting chains as I cut timber to make a living
  13. Pete Mctree
    I use bench grinders for bars 28" and above. I need them to cut perfectly every time so it makes sense & is based upon efficiency. I see no point spending hours getting them right by hand. Below that I hand sharpen.

    Ti - read the op - the hitch hiker bit
  15. Pete Mctree
    On the hitch-hiker a vt is a very poor knot - if you disagree with this, then you have no knowledge of the device!!! Do you own one or have any time on one?
  16. Pete Mctree
    The knot should be exactly as per the instructions IMO - if the legs are too long & the knot too far above the body of the device, it can be a difficult to get it to grab reliably, especially on thin cordage. After long ascents, when the knot has run & not grabbed then you often have to tend the hitch as per most knot of this style. Stihlmad- the vt is not a good knot for the hitchhiker in my experience

    I reserve the right to be wrong at every step

    Those "limes" look a lot like poplars
  20. Pete Mctree
    Yup on .325
  21. Pete Mctree
    Nice. let's see a pic of the gullet Mine are a little rough in this pic, not cleaning the file often enough
  22. Pete Mctree
    Grumpy groundies with tazers would be equally entertaining
  23. Pete Mctree
    It has been noticed that people, although willing to duck under tape, barriers etc , do not like lifting there feet up. I find a few bushy branches to supplement the usual cordons really helps as the muppets seem to stop & scream when they reach them
  24. Pete Mctree
    Does the krab not flap about in that configuration Paul? It would drive me mad having to sort it out & re-orientate it all the time
  25. Pete Mctree
    Sorry - cut the rest of my post off for some reason. Was asking why metal on metal is bad for light rigging
