Nice work Tim, good "outside the box" thinking. Could you post a pic of the breakaway lanyard?
-
Check and see if it says "made in West Germany" on it. Ma colleague has one. Bulletproof. He runs it on 50.1
-
Wow, that's smooth. I've been trying to get one with heated handles. The cod piece, that is.
-
There you go, the boss does it. Now everyone can shut up about it!

Now now, Huck. Calm down... No use getting angry! *grabs more fuel for the fire*

We use a 460 at work on 25", and I have a 441 on 20". The 460 is more powerful, but the 441 has significantly lower vibes. Can't comment on the 461, or the Husqy equivalents.

Why could you only get to 20m?

Je peux...

I've never understood why people thought the Scots were tight...

Hence why I can live on a wage that seems comparatively low. I live in one of the cheaper parts of England. Don't tell my landlady how much you're paying, she may get ideas! Easily done when you have spell check and time to think about your replies!

Currently I can only afford cutters choice. My meth lab will have to wait for a few pay rises...

Lizzie work as an events coordinator for a small firm, and is on about £500pa more than I. We rent a 2 bedroom semi for £600 + bills. I live relatively modestly, and sometimes it's a struggle, but I get by just fine.

Fair play, I didn't go to college! I should have said the Genus is Populus, or is that still incorrect? I'll stick to cutting stuff I think. My mistake, I meant no offence, to trees or people. I was gay once.

Interesting post. I'm a climber with around 3 years experience. I consider myself certainly competent, probably experienced. I'm on a wage not too dissimilar to that mentioned for a trainee climber. I rent a house with my girlfriend, manage to feed an ever growing cat, share a car, and I'm never too broke to afford a bottle of red. Would I like a bit more? Certainly. But I can get by on what I earn. I wouldn't consider myself poor by any means. I can afford to smoke 50g a week for Chrissake. I'm based in the midlands by the way.

What!? Don't start talking all gay with me, Curtis!
-
Same here, though I do find when I put them down I have to pull the straps tight. They don't scratch, don't get lost, and don't mist up like specs. The only problem is rain. If you don't have wood shavings in your beard, then people won't know you're a big bad tree cutter!

I find that gearing up sprockets only really works on mid range saws with little bars. I run 8pin sprockets on my 357 on 15" and 550xpg on 13". I have a 441 with muffler mod that I run on 20", but I've stuck to 7pin on that as on larger saws torque is more important than chain speed, IMO.

Done that. Was aiming for my groundies lid. Didn't get very far.
-
Adam, you are one sexy motherf... The "Safe Eyes" ones are a bit flatter than those. What make of helmet is that?
-
See my post Hodge, I've had the same problems, and the mesh goggles that Clarkes sell are the best thing I've used so far. Just don't look up in the rain.
-
They aren't. Stuff gets through them, especially when you're chogging down in the wind. The fella is after a pair, telling him he don't need 'em isn't exactly helpful! I used to use the Stein safety specs in yellow, brightens your day up, and they don't cost the earth. I now use safe eyes mesh goggles with no visor, best solution I've found yet.

Solid video mate, really enjoyed it. 3 way crabs for zip lining? Flash git.

"I owe him eff all, really..." What a gem!
-
The Latin name is Populus, I wonder if thats anything to do with it.
-
Funny you should mention that. I had asparagus last night, and googled the funny smell. Some people produce it, others don't. Some people can smell it, others can't. It's to do with a sulphuric chemical in the veg. Personally I barely notice it over the normal smell of my balls.
