The Official "Noodles" Pic and Vid Thread

[cowtipper]

Hello all,

Being still new here :newbie: and don't want to step on any toes... I have a question...

Why is most of the vids/Photos on this thread all most none has PPE on? I did a quick count and out of 15 vids/photos only 5 had PPE on. Is it because we are showing off our noodles and not doing a lot of "real" cutting?

Also would like to add that I am still new this forum here and one of the first things I purchased was a good pair of chaps, based on what I have read from you all...

Again not trying to step on any toes... just wanting to know. As yes I to all that have come before me

I know where you are coming from. What did "real" loggers do before ANSI goggles, Kevlar chaps, space age ear plugs, Lexan face shields, ear muffs and genuine Stihl brand T-shirts? Maybe they just cut wood?
I'm not against PPE. Like everything else its seems to be just the dumbing-down of even the simple-ist task. The paint guy at Home Depot is putting on body armor to throw a paint can into a mixer. Some TV dooshbag is wearing a Nomex body suit to burn some wire and weld a 2" bracket onto a muffler. The employees at McDonalds wear a GPS alert bracelet when they go into the meat locker of get hamburger patties. The lowest common denominator. No wonder 6th grade Korean kids are doing calculus and adults here in the USA cant figure out that a 10% sale at Sears doesn't mean that buying 10 things means its a free purchase. Ok, no more beer for me tonight. Sorry.:monkey:

All good questions! Chaps are pretty cool, but it's important to feel as comfortable without them as you would be with them. Did I say that right?
Only Fish would know for sure!

Ha.........

Because i'd rather have saws to cut with, than not, and now i'm out of money.

Because we never had to wear them in the 70's-80's when stuff was affordable to buy.

Because they give you a false sense of safety, when you really should be confident of yourself without them, and have your :censored: head on straight before cutting to begin with.

Finally, i've worn all of it at one job, and that was enough of a trial. I swear i'm more apt to kill myself with the crap on than with it off. (The bulky crap slows down my judgement skills, ability to react, and to move.) :taped:

Did some more noodling today, Early morning and after lunch.

Lined up ready to noodle

 

[stihl sawing]

Went back after lunch and noodled some more.

I had done loaded some on the truck before i took the pic, Forgot to take it.

After two days of noodling the bed is a foot deep.

Thats a bunch of noodles!

 

[pioneerguy600]

I made a little pile of noodles earlier this spring, don`t have much wood ready so far to cut more noodles from so I will just show the pict of that pile of noodles. These are hardwood noodles, rock maple, beech and yellow birch, saws used were 066,070 and 090.

Now that is a pile of noodles.

That pile is now inside and real dry, it makes good fire starter for early winter burning.

I'd say. If he wasn't such a stand up guy, I'd ask if those noodles were piled on top of a dome tent for effect.

If he's got kids or grandkids, I'd say there's a decent chance that the pile's not in the same shape it is now.

Good to see this post over here, you got a great noodler there Brad. The 066 modded with a 20' - 24" bar is a lot of fun.

The trick is to get rid of the factory chain catcher and get the roller catcher on there. Of course an 8-pin rim and lots of RPMs, plus the wide based clutch cover all help too.

That`s exactly what my saw is running, no clogging up with that setup.
