Just giving a heads up. Harbor Freight has felling wedges on sale $1.92 after discount. Don't know if they are worth a darn but willing to try them for that price.

I've got 4 of them I've had for 2 years hard use, with no problems

I found another good use for them, when cutting with the tree lying on pavement, get a wedge or two under the tree. Saved me from killing the chain on the driveway.

I don't see then online and neither of the 2 stores near me seem to carry them anymore. I knew I should have bought more than the 6 I originally did...

Mark, checka you PM's
Did you find them at the CT store Mel?
I searched on line, only see metal ones. HD seems to have a decent one for $5.

The Brookfield store is 2-3 miles down the road from me, will be checking in there tomorrow morning on my way back from Danbury. I'll let you know too Mike if they've got 'em, if you're interested.
If they have them, please pick up a 1/2 dozen for me. I'll stop by your work & pick them up, thanks!
You live near the lake?

Roger that.
Candlewood? Near, as in the same town. Lake is one ridge away to the west though. I'm right on rt25, gotta skip over rt7 then over the lake road and you're in the water.
Lake Lillinonah is just down the road to the East of me. Fished both of them, but sadly not in years and years. Town used to stock Pheasant in the open spaces down on Lilli, enjoyed taking a couple of them each season until the anti's blew through town and put an end to that before moving along and wrecking the next small town.
Whoops, sorry... Lol
I'll let y'all know about those plastic wedges.

These oak wedge also work, but I don't sell them. I make them.
We often bike around Candlewood, and when we are feeling strong, we go past Squantz Pond! Wakeman Rd & Rte 39 (Just above American Pie) are also interesting going up or down. On the downhill, you hit over 50, going up either is a lot of work!
They still stock Pheasant in a few places around here, but not like it used to be. But what upsets me is the Grouse seem to have disappeared. I'm trying to figure out why, and think that it may be related to Lyme. Can't think of any other reason, they used to be here. Conversely, at my upstate property, where there is no Lyme, there are still good populations of Grouse, and there certainly are not less coyotes, bobcat, birds of prey, etc.

Man, if they can decimate the moose population in Maine they can darn sure take out the grouse.
Those little buggers are really bad. And it's getting worse, a friend and Brother of mine around the corner from me was nearly taken down by one single tick. A retired gentleman with the constitution of an ox, he was dead to the world until the doxacycline his doc finally prescribed got him back on his feet. And as I understand it, it wasn't lymes nor a deer tick. Can't remember the technical name for the infection it gave him, but it sure as heck knocked his joint into the dirt. Anti-biotics were just as bad.
I need to pay him a visit soon, great guy, real glad he's up and around and still with us.
We need a brutally cold Winter with no snowcover, but even that's no assurance to get rid of 'em.

I found an HF item #66264 which doesn't show up as available in an online search. NLA would be my guess.
There are fewer deer ticks this year due to last years winter/snow cover. You really notice the difference when you walk the dogs. Hope we have another winter just the same. Despite all the complaining, it is how winters used to be, every year, in the 60s.
Hope your friend recovers fully (Erickilosis???) or something like that, and there are other stuff too, including a non treatable disease.
