Nothing wrong with the 441 IMO. Mine is a belter!
-
A bit like me then... Phat thumbs on the iPhone. That and predictive text make a lot of my post look like nonsense until I read them back and make corrections.
-
Which is exactly what I described in the post above yours.

I have Ben. I use my variation of the coos/triangle. Start on the far side underneath to about a 3rd. 45 ish degrees. Then move saw around to the side you are positioned, 3rd again. No gob. You should then see or have an idea where to line the back cut by noting where the nose of the bar is on the first cut. 3 cuts and job done. I have dropped heavy laterals with it and leaning (with a very heavy head lean) stems on a Pop dismantle.

Bolam, don't get cocky ya brainbox... Perpendicular, what's that mean then? I thought the FOGTW describes the coos bay as leaving a triangular hinge.
-
I thought it was the coos bay with the triangle left..? Either way, it gets it done regardless of name. Nice one.

Instead of fan ting around with a locked f8. I use a rope wrench if it a fat stem. Cinch it to the stem with a long tail and the bailout option is there. On most trees I just use a large ropeguide and set that below my flip line and the bail out option is there again.

Regardless of Job status or occupation, in winter I always allow whatever vehicle to warm up a bit before I drive off. Especially since I have owned deisels. Yes they do warm up better on the road, but IMO it isnt a good idea to drive off the moment you start up. Allow the viscosity of the oil to thin a bit and get around the working parts.

I had one for years, it now holds my riggin kit. I also have a gelert 90l for climbing kit etc and a Lyon 35l for my long rope.

Army surplus bag? Hard wearin and cheap.
-
I took one out with a crane last year with the idea of milling. From what I recall cutting in a certain way gives lacewood. Sought after by furniture makers. Are you cutting any lacewood?
-
You wont be tieing it in an endless loop, unless you choose to. You can tie a fishermans knot in each end making a piece of cord that has the same functionality as an E2E but is also adjustable and saves the pounds aswell.

I barely know what half of that gear you are using is for. If it suits you though, then go for it.
-
Great vid Reg, I really enjoyed that. Did you get a chance for much winter sports during the snowy months? I know that would attract me to a place like BC. Then again, I would probably nail myself snowboarding and not be able to work.
-
That was quite a big one Geoff. I did one in the garden of my old flat, dead as a dead thing. Hired a Micr Arb chipper of Justin and hey ho a bit of chippings for the borders.
-
Whats wrong with a pen and paper? Seems a complicated spreadsheet to me. At least you have got some excel skills to fall back on if tree work goes quiet for you.
-
But are you gonna fell, extract, split and bag the Elm for a fair swap? Or would you like someone to do that for you, obviously that would have an associated cost and the botton line being - you would get less larch. Edit: you answered my post whilst I was typing.
-
Ahem... I spliced it then John snapped 3 needles wipping and as his punishment Steve made him cut of the splice and re do it. I must admit though, John did make an easier job of it than me with the Brian Toss wand compared to my wire fid.
-
Then in theory, crack on!

Why not just do an extra module and gain another ticket in the refresher process

He did look very village people when he had his leather waistcoat on. I am just glad the arseless chaps were left at home. :lol:

Congratulations.
