Jon in regards to wedges ya are aware that ifn ya need a wee bit more lift that ya can stack em .....prolly you are and know of the diff tapers etc

 

[treeslayer2003]

I love those 10" triple tapers. they will lift.

 

[roberte]

that really is a good point there bro......ifn one saw goes down ya can keep going .......also ifn ya pinch it lol then well ya get the idea lol

The old timer I had the privelege packing for rolled with four saws. I will go out with two or three.
Getting another saw is way easier than filing in the field or Wat busted said.

 

[bustedup]

suppose might add pack spare chains too

 

[treeslayer2003]

honestly I jus file 2 saws once a day.

 

[bustedup]

guess it depends what ya cutting .....how much and ifn ya either hit something or clip the dirt (of course I never do that lol)

 

[roberte]

There are 5 chains in the crummy right now...
But who doesn't

you'd be surprised lol

 

[treeslayer2003]

some of ya prolly do a lot of bucking, mostly we haul tree length. if clean out the crummy I bet it a 5 gallon bucket of ol chains.

 

[bustedup]

Here I gotta buck everything as none goes for saw logs ......it only the the nasty awkward ones I get to do lol

I have (2) 46 I carry. Obviously leave one in the truck. Did you say you don't file in the field? What what? I ain't packing out to file my chain. I carry a spare loop if I rock my chain but other than that I touch up every 2nd tank regardless.

twochains down..... I was kinda in a fight for my life last night while posting my last couple messages....couldn't even tell could ya?!

I have had asthma since 9 years old. Lost my health insurance...they didn't cover my lungs anyway. Been off my meds for 2 months suffering it out waking up choking around 1 or 2 am every single night. Yesterday evening something pushed it over the edge like a boat anchor and 300ft chain thrown over a bluff. I fought and lost. Wife rushed me to the ER and I had to get treatments and a shot...I probably cost me half of my weeks earnings for the family. My wife won't even talk to me she is so upset. The ER doctor was even upset at me thinking I could just get off asthma meds when I am a Level 3 asthma patient. I am more healthy than 98% of anybody you know, I have learned how to breathe and my activity level is threw the roof. Nights are what get me. My sinuses drain into my lungs and give the affect of breathing through jelly! It can get pretty scarey when you oxygen levels start dropping and your lips and face start getting numb. I have to get up and cough out the phlem for and try to relax , this is every night scenario for me. Ever seen me on here late late at night...thats why.

I already knew my situation but the Doctor set down and explained further. The problem for me isn't the asthma because with the proper meds Advair 250/50, my asthma is more then well under control. The problem is that I have to purchase all my Advair "out of country" ie. Canada, New Zealand, India. If my family Doctor won't right me a script w/o coming in...then it throws off the balance of waiting a couple weeks for the meds to clear Customs entering the States. And I don't go to hospitals very damn often. So, I decided to be "tough guy" and fight it, just drop the asthma meds and save some money for a bit. I unfortunately lost the battle, and that doesn't happen for me very often. WOW I am an idiot! What seemed righteous and logical ended up with me loosing alot of money last night ...

All well now pip pip cherrio! :censored:

Ya look like a poor mans version of Paul Sr. On OCC. You guys all look quite a bit manlier than me:c

ry: I was asking about a stubby sledge. TS how long is your sledge. At six lbs I won't need a lot of speed. I haven't used an axe to actually chop anything in several years, and figured a stubby sledge may be better for bucking and driving wedges from one knee

Paul Sr.... :censored:

Now what did I f:censored: do with my mother f:censored: 2.5 lb axe, god f:censored: d:censored:

Next rain storm take a shovel to the crummy and drop all the crap at the slash pile....

 

[twochains]

5 o'clock stash for me on top of 5 inches of flaming red goodness with dark hair! People always are like...how the hell is yer goat-tee so damn red and yer hair grows almost black?? My Granny on my Mother's side said it's 3rd gen red head er something silly. They were dark skinned auburn haired people.

 

[roberte]

Dude I hear you on the doctor, and I am insured. One of the mess I was taking was dropped off the insurance co. Approved list. So I must be better.
I'm with you on the asthma, but I'm not near bad off as you.

All my brown hair is becoming salt and pepper, but I still have hair under that blue hat. I just buzz it high and tight.

 

[twochains]

Yeh, same here, high and tight. I have shaved my head since I was 19. I went 3 years shaving with a razor...braces and boots...
