That's what I call a Father's Day present!!! Sounds like you got a whole new setup, NICE!

Oh yeah, pretty much new set..my weaver cougar has had its times..I bought it back in 07-08 whenever it came out anyways. My old helmet is the vertex best, unvented. That's why I got a new one. My thought is to keep one set up for rainy days and sticky pines. And one for hardwoods and sunny days. I spend a lot of time in my gear so its gotta be comfortable. You guys know that game! Oh I now lookin back spelt fathers day wrong. ..lol...its gotta be the working 6-7 days a week lately...lol...

Hey, it's New Hampsha' spellin' right! :hmm3grin2orange:
My "old" helmet is a vertex best. Great helmet, but anything over 50[SUP]o[/SUP] and I'm drippin' sweat! :msp_thumbdn:
I just got me one of those vertex vented, couldn't really afford it but, couldn't resist for the price.
Also, I have the Edge saddle, the original. Great saddle!

Ayuh,
can never have enough gear.....:hmm3grin2orange:
Sooooo, lookin' at new pads? Which ones are you thinkin' about? :dunno:

 

[Brian13]

Either the Big Buck or the Big Buck with Velcro. My boss is telling me to get the Velcro but I am not so sure on that, he says that they are worth the extra money but I can get two of the regulars for the price of the Velcro. I need pads soon, they are coming apart, and I would like to get some rigging stuff soon as well.

Nice Brian, hope all's well - Sam

Great to see you old friend! The working man on this end was up 24 hours straight, driving to fresno. 5 hours each way Friday night. Outdoor sportsman coalition of ca, who is working all the anti stuff in Ca. Partners and family too us! Was a great dinner, and got to meet many I have been friends with some time, over the net. Great people. Then got home at 545 to see the sunrise, and go to bed till 10am, get up load my gear and dogs, and took a few from our group, one came from Idaho for the dinner. We got a 300 pound phantom with just under 4 inch tusks. Now I am whooped, and taking next two days off.

Yeah, quit the big high ball yarder outfit, and went back to work for some guys I used to work with. Smaller deal, little logging jobs, thinning, etc. Just trying to give fire season a shot and hopefully make some coin on that whole deal.

Good luck with the arborist gig, looks like you're doing damn good - Sam

Sounds like good times Norm. We lost our GSP, and adopted a 1yr old Plott Hound. I turned her into a squirrel treeing machine over break-up. Those hounds are fun.

Take care pard - Sam

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Sam sorry about your GSp so hard to lose them. Great to hear of the Plott, and squirrel hunting. And going back to work for guy's you did before, sometimes smaller is better I think..

Thanks, I have come a long way but have a long way to go. Hope moving back to the smaller outfit works out well. And are you trying to fire line falling? If so please try to get some pics!
