    Slow down. Start at the beginning - a rope. Natural crotch then natural crotch with a turn. Then 1/2 hitch on a stem. These basics set the core knowledge & application for the modern stuff. This thread is a great opportunity to demonstrate how simple it can be to understand it all

    A very good & durable boot. They are a little stiff to start with but are better when broken in. Light enough to wear all day yet stiff enough for spikes

    Nice job

    TITS - tie in twice stupid

    I use on for dismantling. Much safer than a rope ( if you don't believe me then try attacking a rope lanyard with a silky nevermind a saw) & makes working up & down the stem easier - easy flip on smaller & mid diameter stem

    As been said before, 2 handed signals are limiting. An example would be a groundie giving the OK signal whilst holding onto a tensioned line. Not as practical as a thumbs up ?

    You could have shared the loading at the rigging point by using a 2nd block at an appropriate angle elswhere in the crown. The decayed limb would have a much reduced force.

    Some really cool footage from the history of logging. First clip is part of a series of 5, but I have also put a link to the youtube channel as it has some other archive material on it. Enjoy [ame] [/ame] Hoquiamgirl - YouTube

    Pooclimber - I had forgotten about that place. Anyone for a gratuitous thread on one handing

    The development of this place has been meteoric. I think it has exceeded what we & probably Steve had imagined possible

    When holding your own body weight to tend the slack through the hitch, remember to Lock your arm. This takes the weight off your muscle groups & allows the joints to take the strain. Much easier & less fatiguing

    It seems that if you like Husky saws, you are only partially literate, & you cannot read & comprehend the title of this thread.......

    Got a 044 in bits. Not quite the wrist breaker it should be when cold , to make matters worst it is too easy to turn over when warm & refuses to start when hot. Not been loved, so in addition to new pot etc (possibly) AV rubbers , carb kit & a few other bits, would a repair seem viable?

    Too much booze tonight gents. Sorry......,,.,,

    Good job Josh

    044. All round power reliability and usability. The 440 is a shadow of it

    Same as

    Is there a rapell point on the actsafe drew?

    I have only experience of the wraptor so no comparison. Did several 1000ft in a week & it does put a smile on your face for sure. Simple & easy to operate. Very functional
