It was kind of smoky at times. Too much green wood!

I'm just happy nobody got hurt....multiple saws going ...lots of potential for trouble....everyone was polite and courteous as well...

And no I don't smell like campfire...fuel maybe

I really wish I could have made it. Looks and sounds like everyone had a great time. Awesome pics and vids (gonna take some time to go through them all).

Can somebody repost the group shot with some names for those of us that didn't make it?

 

[malk315]

I have the group shots and will take a stab later today if no one else gets to it. It was a blast. Dan has started something great!

I smell like campfire and fuel too. Normal stuff... Nothing like the smell of saw mix in the morning.

We had a lot of saws here that you've had your fingers in. Did you stage this event??[emoji33]

Your 262 did best mine... though to be fair, toward the end of the day we had trouble starting mine, and found that all day it had be ingesting sawdust, then found a hole in the filter! gotta take it apart and likely put in a new piston... god knows what i'm gonna find in there!

I almost took a dog out with my 044 and the 28 hanging off of it.

Turned around and there he was.

Thank god.

Yeah I saw that... You started the saw and the bar came within inches as you swung it forward. Then you saw him and your face was like WTF! Dog was oblivious...

I know I spoke to a few of you about using the synthetic HP Stihl oil, but I switched to the synthetic about a year and a half maybe 2 years ago and I noticed the saw running smoother and cleaner, as well as almost no (zero) oily smell in my clothes. I believe it is 80% biodegradable. Just mentioning this as I encourage all of you to at least try a few tank fulls of it and see for yourself. Then report back, as I would be very interested in what you think of it after using it.
If you are not Stihl fans, then try the Husqvarna brand synthetic 2 stroke oil if they make it. Not sure if they even do or not.

For you guys that have ported saws, you may get a little better lubrication as well as a few more RPM's.

But the biggest plus for me was the lack of the oily smell in my clothing after a day cutting. Maybe even better to breath while using the synthetic HP oil as well.

Just mentioning it.

By the way, Mel and Cindy are doing a cancer benefit today for a woman with brain cancer. He told me this morning that we as a group raised $180 toward the cause yesterday! Awesome!!
Here is a picture of Cindy with Nikki at the benefit this morning.

I use stihl ultra hp at 40:1 in my huskies. Neal Murphy who did the murder 346 recommended that setup. It has fuel stabilizers and runs nice.

I've also used the Husky XP oil mixed at 45:1 to favor the oil a bit used that for a while in my stock 372. Would probably go 40:1 at this point. You can retune to the extra oil content if need be.

I do like the synthetic oil and stick with the top quality from Stihl or Husky.

There is so much debate on oil here on AS. I try not to worry too much about it.

See ya.

Motul 800 here. And after all that cutting, my 044 has a shiny piston top Stihl.

Bad for seeing flow marks, good for everything else.

fwiw.... I was using ETOH free gas and valvoline marine grade 2 cycle in my 350

 

[ri chevy]

Eric, do you notice any of the differences I mentioned with the oil smell in your clothes when using synthetic?

Etoh. You're letting them know the codes bro.
