[Hedgerow]

He is definatly not as high on that other non named brand (Stihl) as he was.

Tell him now that his eyes have been opened, there's no turning back...
:msp_wink:

 

[Hedgerow]

That's kinda pretty. It would never last around my business.

It'd get run over by a truck, 'cause nobody recognized what it was and put it up. There would be a sick crunch, and all that fine paint would be wasted.

It ain't paint...
Just sayin...
And ya can't scratch it off...:msp_sneaky:

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

He made me a couple file handles out of wood that are great I am going to see if he can make on for a flat file.

What have you got Its a GTG. Heck most are easily entertained people are driving hours to run chainsaws.:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

I have tree tools. Pretty much everything a small tree service could ask for except a GRCS. That's the next big expense.

It is probably pointless to bring much in the way of saws; you guys have lots of those. I'll bring a couple just in case somebody asks me to prove that I know how to start one. It's generally poor form to borrow a saw, anyway. Probably two of my favorites, certainly the 200-T

I suspect not too many fellows have played with a capstan rope winch. They are the perfect toy to have for recovering logs that fell too far down the hill. I have all kinds of climbing gear, but not anything in the way of mechanical descenders on SRT. I haven't worked up to doing that yet. Heavy rigging? I have a few slings, blocks, portawrap, heavy & light ropes. Lots of loopies and other stuff for speedlines and taking trees down the long slow way.

No, I ain't bringing anything that requires a truck to tow it! I'm coming in the VW Jetta diesel. At over $4.19/gal for diesel, I refuse to take anything bigger than my favorite econobeast.

 

[pdqdl]

glad you're coming. how's about a climbing demo for us land lubbers?

Only if you promise not to laugh.

I wanna take a gander at that there capstan winch. I've looked at that thing hard in the Bailey's catalog………..:msp_biggrin:

 

[pdqdl]

OK.

Instead of cutting up some logs, we'll drag a few. Maybe tow a truck, or hoist something stupidly heavy to the top of a tree.

It only has about 1/2 ton of line pull, so you need doubling pulleys for bigger loads. Still, that will move a very sizeable log up out of a creek.

 

[RVALUE]

I will be loading logs momentarily.

I will then drive 5 hours round trip to deliver them. All for you to cut into one inch pieces, and then pick up.......

I will then drive back tomorrow...... Then its easy street.

It's been real tite here on the financials, right up to a day ago....


I thought we had some saw shops coming that could bring me a roll of chain.....

 

[RVALUE]

I thought my diesel was outrageous at $ 3.85

 

[Work Saw Collector]

is wireless still on site?

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Ihave saws to get ready and here my wife has me feeding the granddaughter. saws may have to come as they are.

Levi and I will have a late night tonight out in the shop...
That's ok...

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

They will not be all shined up but they will have sharp chains. Shine don't cut wood.:msp_biggrin:

 

[Work Saw Collector]

Me and Matt were texting, there will be a bunch of setting and BS Friday night. What BS he don't start I will

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Getting ready to go with my Dad to see the cancer docter. can someone post up the food list need to see what I signed my wife up for. And how many will be there friday and sat so we can bring enough. are the Taters baked do we need to bring aluminum foil.

 

[Freehand]

I'm not gonna make it Friday fellers. Seems my wife bought tickets to a string quartet months ago that I'm just now hearing about for friday night. (gingerly zipping up flame suit, clutching man card protectively to chest………)

 

[pdqdl]

I'd like to know a bit more about the food plan, too.

Right now I am planning on fending for myself, camp-out style. That might get messy with 20 guys huddling over 10 campfires. I'm not above living out of the trunk on dry goods, either.

I would be more than happy to join up and participate in a bigger scheme to fill our bellies. I suspect that would involve bringing food off a list, at a bare minimum. Maybe some $$.

Somehow I don't think you guys are all coming to Jasper to rough it on oatmeal, beans, & rice. If I bring my own, I see plenty of bacon in my future.
