Oh, and I called HAV Inc. yesterday, and a 28" Sugi (Sugihara) fer mah 044, and one fer mah 385xp is $132.40 and $12.00 a piece to ship.

I reckon for as much good as a guy hears about them, that ain't a bad price for a reduced weight bar.

Oh, that's for .050", .375" BTW.

You can get stihl light bars for that out here.

If you leave the filter cover off the dust won't pack in there near as bad. That's the only way to run stihls so the air filter doesn't pack up in a few hours.

I imagine the filter comment was fer earlier, and fer someone else?

Thanks! I'm going to see about getting a longer bar. I was just told earlier that we are moving to another site and this tract hasn't been cut before, supposed to have some good timber.

I read alot on here about full and semi skip chains, any reason why say a 30" bar and semi skip chain won't be the ticket? What about brands of bars? I figure I will just get a Stihl brand.

Hey, I forgot to ask. . . What camera are you using?

Yeah well it was. I was busy today with a job interview so I was trying to catch up for all day.

If it's raining or snow around I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to just run a filter.

Contour 1080p. I mainly shoot riding vids, and since 95% of what I ride/race in is dense woods, I like the slimmer profile of the Contour as opposed to the GoPro. The sound is dulled on purpose, when at race speed the wind will destroy your vid so I put clear tape over the microphone. I wasn't sure if the "right in your face" engine of the chainsaw would do some distortion or not, so I left the tape on. Check out some of my riding vids if ya want. The ones with the most views are generally better. The vids listed as Trailriding at Colby's parts 1 and 2 are decent. I am on the blue bike, if you see a red bike it is Colby and I am wearing the camera. No race vids...I don't wear a camera racing to to possible lost of camera and loosing position due to trying to re-mount the camera. The little boy on the mini quad is my son he was 9 and 10 in those vids. Haven't mounted the camera on him just yet. Thanks for asking!

So far from the comparison vids I watch, the Sony has the best audio of them all, but lacks here and there with the video. The video is still plenty good though, and the better sound is a good trade. Muffled audio can get as annoying as distorted audio from bikes or saws.

Not bad Dan. The only thing I'd say is make some space between you and the tree as its going over. I almost got clobbered twice yesterday. The first one knocked my hat off and caught my shoulder and the second was a catapulted oak limb that definetely would have done some damage. It came back over the stump a ways. Get yer saw outa there too! Looks like fun though!

I agree with the stump distance thing, but at the same time. . .

He's got some shallow faces in there -- in frozen and semi-frozen wood -- if he starts to walk away, and that closes on him before the hinge is super small. . . It might could chair on him.

If you face them like that you're pretty obligated to stay in them and cut them off as they go over.

Now, if a guy is putting a MacKendrick Humboldt in a tree, that sure helps fer getting out of there if you need to. :msp_razz:

Funny story Randy!

Me an Cody were working up that fir I posted (and he posted) about on FB. We were talking faces, and I said, "Yeah, if I feel comfortable enough to stay in it, and cut it off. . . I'll scratch a shallow face in'er -- if not -- I throw a good MacKendrick face™ in it, so I can scoot out'a there."

Now, Cody being the learned and traveled Timberbeast he is, looked at me funny and said, "What's a MacKendrick face™?"

I said, "You ain't never seen Randy's pictures? STEEP AND DEEP DUDE!" Hahaha

Now you're even more famous than you were before. Hahaha
