I use I good diesel mechanic, he had never worked on a Mog before, he's good and worked it out, also having a good working relationship with Alec Price is brilliant, many a time he has saved me hours and money by a simple text or chat about problems or concerns.

I went to go outdoors this morning but the rock harnesses don't have side D's. Going to see if my sequoia will tighten up enough to hold an 8 year old:001_rolleyes:

Blowing a Gail here just now

Very nice!!

Great winches. Hook it onto something, flick the springy lever up and pull winch back, it will unravel. You can't slacken when under tension unless you have fingers like Wolverine. I've had a £20 version for over 10 years.

Rip to your dad.

12 big armfuls of 10' branches equal 1 wheely bin load. Easy peasy

I've had a 46 hang off a bunjee strop for years and never had a problem with them breaking. Once I had to do a throw away quick , to catch something and the Caritool will snapped. On the making a weak point on a strop, do you guys do a practice run by cutting a certain amount and seeing how much takes to rip it? I've seen vans get pulled out of ditches with old tattered strops and they never snapped . That was always my concern.

As I said, your older and wiser now:biggrin:

I started that way because my boss did it, I didn't know any better:blushing:

Great pictures guys!

2 nice trenches! Cracking big tractor !must be more pics.

I've climbed with an 88 many a time. Having a strop attached to it doesn't make it any lighter.

Welcome aboard:001_smile:

I think it's good for newbies, you must get into a good position, get your cuts right and no 1 handing. And you really learn to hang onto a saw. I lost a 26 twice, only damaged the nose on 1, it was a poor cut and if it was on a lanyard, my hip would of been a bit sore! I don't go in for all this little cuts on a strop so it rips out either! I wouldn't let newbies use a top handle saw until they proved competent with a heavier more clumbersome saw. Stop all this zoro action!

Man up and get a Mog, your older and wiser and will know what to look for and expect.

I climbed for about 6 years with out a lanyard from when I started. I had a big clip on a bit of blue rope about 12" long that was duct taped up for smoothness and strength:laugh1: I would unclip the saw, use it and then just clip it back on. No cut n chucking 1 handed none sense and your cuts had to be right:biggrin: Then I got a top handle ad a bungee lanyard and it all went down hill:001_rolleyes:
