    Hi Guys, So if you had to have one saw for all your needs, what would it be? I think I would go for a Stihl MS460 with a 20" bar. Because of the few saws have used It was/is my favourite, and I dont climb, yet:biggrin:. I might be tempted by something bigger, but I havent used anything I liked as much as that 460! Fire away!

    Ah nice. I do a fair bit of stalking here, but I havent been abroad yet. Mainly stalk roe and reds, with the odd Sika when I can. We have a nice patch up in Aberdeenshire which is rather nicely crawling with Roe, and should be up there for a few days next week Its nice to meet a fellow stalker though Sam

    Here Here! But they are tasy... Again, true. I once saw a White Transit van drop 8 Foxes out at 1am (Night Fishing) into a field full of new born lambs City foxes and were easy enough to shoot though Sam

    I use Stihl Forestwear Classics, They are warm, but I like my legs very much! I have used them for a year and a bit and they seem pretty tough. I dont climb in them but I use them maybe once a week () at the moment. They are comfy for what I do but I dont climb in them, so cant help there, but I dont think I would swap them. atb,

    Hi Chaps, Somewhat of an imposter here Im afraid, not being arbor Yet... Im 17 and have wanted to be a "Lumberjack" since about 5 Im going to to the Barony College in September to do an ND in Forestry, with either Forest Mechanism, or Arbor. As yet undicided, I wasnt built to monkey up trees . I dont have a "proper" saw at the moment but a nice little Stihl MS390 with a 18" bar, it serves me well enough - for now anyway mainly looking after our little patch of 18ac (Hazel). Im here to learn a little more about the Arbor side of things, I know a few guys in the trade but you cant get enough ideas! Well I reckon thats enough from me, but thanks to Steve -for generally getting me on here, it took a while and im sure you will be regretting it soon enough atb
