Saw is driving me mad! Fuel, air and spark right? Suddenly it starts to bog down badly as soon as the blade meets wood. Starts and runs fine. Fuel-new Air filter - clean Spark plug - clean and gap correct Fuel filter - clean Chain - freshly sharpened and running freely Spark arrestor - doesn’t have one Fuel tank breather - clean and free (also tried it with the breather disconnected to double check) I am at my wits end! Have run a tank with Redex in it to ensure clean fuel system as well. Chainsaw is relatively young and has only had hobby hours, was running perfectly up to last week. Anyone have any ideas what may have happened? This came on suddenly whilst processing some firewood. Really appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks Raggie

Hi all I've been wearing pfanners for the last few years now and I've sworn by them since day 1 of having them but I'm beginning to realise they're probably a bit hot especially in Adelaide's heat The new husky technicals and technical extremes look really good but I can't get a pair to view before forking out the cash. Any opinions on the new husky pants? Are the extremes worth the extra dough? Do they seem durable? Do they have good ventilation or do they look like theyd be hot AF? If not the huskys what about the SIP arborist pants? Thanks. Look forward to your feedback -
Being a tree climber wanting to venture into new technical developments but not for the sake of technical self masturbation does anyone have an opinion on the following 2 techniques?: a) Helical (friction hitch) tied to crab with anchor hitch (or buntline) with 1.5M of 8mm aramide which is self adjusted with micro-pulley attached to crab with a small shackle with a 1/4 turn. b) Double rope technique alternative to footlocking - a left and right ISC foot ascender with Petzl's new double handled ascender (ascentree). I was shown method a) by a friendly member of staff (Craig) at Trees Unlimited in Leeds and seems to work very well although found the helical a little cumbersome to tie in comparison to say a Blake's or Prussik. But the knot does work very fast and runs true. As for method b) I'm awaiting my ascentree in about 2-weeks time to try this method out. I know there'll be lots out there saying "Jeez what's wrong with just a Prusik (or Blake's) and footlocking?". But the investment in money and time to develop the techniques seem to outweigh the cost of unecessary physical exertion caused by "sticking to the old ways" even though the old ways are admittedly good and tried and tested. OBJECTIVE opinions from all corners appreciated.
