Thank you for the offer but I'll pass. I have enough dog scented rugs as it is.

I got one from Ken Downhill, well, cause I like supporting his business. Cody has another identical to it that he doesn't care for, so I'll be wearing one on each shoulder.
Cody made his out'a an old boot top or something like that -- says it's the best one he's ever worn.

I've got one I made 20 or so years ago. Saddle shearling on the bottom to insure my comfort, and 9 oz leather on the top. It's getting a little crusty, but no more than I get to use it anymore I think it'll last a while longer.

I just went back and watched the video... never met or talked to that guy but he sure as Hel taint no pro, lost count of how many times he stabbed the dirt, ran the saw wrong handed for no reason. ran one handed with limbs on the other side (potential kick back), how many times he should have pulled his pants up. and nearly all the limbs are way to long, who taught that guy to run a saw? And what the Hel is he running without an air cleaner cover for does he think it looks cool and hot rodded? sorry rant over he kinda reminds me of my brother and that is not a compliment...
It's a long story but he's no longer a member here.
I gathered that, been a few snide comments from some of the grey beards...

Tried watchin that video... I made it till he rocked it and had enough lol
You guys talkin about third world towns in the US got me to reminicine. Anybody ever been through Toppenish, WA around noon time...? I think I was about 12 last time I was there so woulda been 2000 I was there...? Rode with the old man to take a load of cattle to the sale in Toppenish and it was a little eerie...
Back to spenders. I wear x back faller suspenders. The ones made in Napavine, can't remember the company's name. They're the narrow ones. Y backs just rub on my spine and make driving really uncomforatable. Oh and I wear carhartt riggin pants, tried the Keys and they were to tight, have small pockets, and stuff just doesn't stay in the side pockets in em.

Yeah HBRN made quite a splash here. He wore his opinions on his sleeve and did not mince words. I was his biggest critic early on and it got me a red warning from the mods. HBRN was banned shortly there after. Just before his banning we had a conversation via PM and I appologised for my actions. He is a decent guy with a heart of gold and really made AS s fun place but he was too serious and had trouble backing up his claims. This is a private forum and the rules are there for everyone to read and follow and HBRN did neither.
BTW the air cleaner set-up he was running is not uncommon. It's better that Stihl's factory air cleaner in most cases.
The air cleaner thing just seem like a good idea for timber sports, but in the real world it would get packed full of all kinds of crud... used to see a bunch of guy around here run something like that but I always figured they just lost the cover...
I did not know that suspenders were made in Napavine. I support a more local (to me) company, mine are made in Onalaska.:msp_biggrin:

Depends on which direction you're driving from. I could go either way, really. Onalaska is a left turn and Napavine is a right turn.
Okaay, I edited my post. More local to me. Napavine is farther from the metropolis that I live in.

Don't make me post that Dolmar picture again!
Git yer fire gear together. We're getting east winds.

yup, HB sure did make for some lively threads. The slopping back cut stuff was a lightning rod.
However, to his credit, some more recent videos he made show a conventional backcut, wedges, and not cutting alone. Room for improvement, sure, but still nice to see a change for the better.
Hope he got that nice pickup running again.

Crap. Patty I screwed up! They are made in Onalaska... Brain thought Napavine. Maybe it's cuz I looked forward to making Napavine on the way home so much because it symbolized bein almost home....
My brain was not engaged last night. Inventory Homework had fried it by then.

Do you drive over Hwy 12? If so, you go through and even have to slow down to get through our big city!
This thread has given me an idea, but I'll have to go to town when the weather is bad.
That... that's blackmail!
