Let's be real here; fundamentals= safe

Thats a lot to go thru to go steelhead fishing. Get well quick.

Well, it could be worse, he doesn't have to tie flies! Says one who seems to tweaked a wrist, but doesn't know how. How many days till stitch removal? 10?

 

[Cedarkerf]

Heal up man glad it wasnt worse. You should be able to fish all right.

 

[Burvol]

You guys crack me up. You know how avid I am about the fin wars I run around here, lol.

10 days maybe two weeks they said on the stitches.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

10 days-2 weeks isn't too bad, you might be back to work before me.

I have never claimed to be God's gift to log cutters

I doubt anyone is the single best faller, but anyone who lasts in the big leagues is excels at their trade, everyone is going to have their own way to dance, each dance has its merits, and its faults.

Sorry about the injury. I'm glad it wasn't worse. I wish my best to you.

Your punishment shall be you have to show up at the next PNW GTG to show off your scar.

And it isn't in a bad place to show off. I think your story is not as nerve-gut wrenching as the hooktender's tale of how he lost his fingers and parts of fingers. I asked him to please stop telling but he didn't and it was a tummy churning story. It literally made me have that shocky feeling. Your story is much better.

Chewing stitches yet? If so, put some bitter apple spray or Happy Jack wormer on it. I like to tease.

That makes me sick for you ..... Thats bad ... Your right you knew better , most of us do just before we do something like that ..... Man , I really feel bad for you .. The only time I,ve got cut was from a kick back ..... But with me it was because IU didn,t have my thumb wrapped around the front handle bar , it was laying on the wrap so I could push better :bang:. You should post some pics of your hand , and the lack of $$$$$ coming in ...... My wife and I will be praying for you for a fast strong recovery .....

 

[tramp bushler]

I make alot of bore cuts , but they are for checking the quality of the log , or where the cull ends , Most of the time they arn,t needed for falling ...

Exactly, they are not needed. The strap cut is about the only time I use it on a stump. The upper quadrant of your tip is where the kickback is the most probable. That is where I knew better. Saw jumped out fast at my torso, and I don't know why or how, but my hand went up to try for the power head after it slipped on the kickback and got my hand. It felt hot and I then looked down and saw the bone through my glove. I approached my Dad and told him I was hurt. I told him where my first aid kit was in my rigging sack and what dressing I wanted on it. I asked if he wanted a good look at it, and he declined, saying not too look to prevent shock. I told him I already saw enough and I was ready to leave. He packed me out and I drove myself, bleeding and wound secured just fine. Could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Thank you for your prayers, Mr.Tramp.

Brian, I am not missing the next one for anything!!!

 

[Cedarkerf]

Cool weve been wanting to meet you in person.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

I'd go if I had a reason to live out there.

 

[Cedarkerf]

Because its purdy with mild weather except it rains 5 inches of rain everyday.

 

[slowp]

And we get to watch the Seattle news people look grim and tell us about the weather.

Now, is the get together really being planned in the city of IKEA and no sales tax? :biggrinbounce2:

Oh I would now if I could, I fell in love with the PNW when I went there on vacation. One day, I liked Forks and Hoquiam, I also liked SW Orygun.

Now is the best time to visit...weatherwise. Bring a dehumidifier and a box of Damp-rid. :biggrinbounce2:

If you can drive to the overlooks, there's usually a sign with arrows pointing to where you could see the view if it was clear.

Best place in the world to live. I think I'd go back to drinking (I know I would) if I ever had to leave OR/WA. No salmon, no elk, no huckleberries? What would a PNWer do?

 

[floyd]

Quit lying to these folks . Only a fool would live in the PNW. Much better wherever you are currently located.

 

[ROOTSXROCKS]

sounds like you were really cool under pressure, Thank you for sharing and reminding us how easy it is to get comfortable.
