Wedge Belt

[Westboastfaller]

you gotta hit up the military surplus shop in coombs Jamie. he's got the most **** out of any other i know of. that's where i got m belt and shoulder straps. he's got a few other cool things but i think it's weight for nothing on the belt. i've been running ground chain so i wanna find a hard case for the belt to hold a spare chain. the ****** nylon cases don't last long. might try a hard camera case even. i see you have a handheld GPS on your belt. you must be covering some ground to need that! did you end up getting on with Jordan?

Shop at some town that has goats living on the roof...lol yeah I'll check it out.
Why carry another pound on you?
To much stuff on the belt anyway I figure. I don't have room for what I have that's why the first aid is up on the back strap. Bigger guys have a lot more room on the belt. The first aid is $hitty there for heli. I dump the wedges and axe at the pad but you want your radio on with in seconds of him flying and making sure he's got us all individually. Go time is go time down there. Yes I quit the other day. The Company that just finished the Beetle probing are running the control for them.
Which happens to be a tree planting company and there mentality. Planters running fallers? Well that ought to work. So basically they give me a package with 117 tree's and I can't sled to them because its steep south facing side (big trees) spread out and 2.25 hour drive one way. All long walk ins, Like over a killometre many, .75 of a mile up and down hills in 18" of snow. I would have been in that package for another 10 day and never could have brought my average up to have a good season. I told the supervisor that stuff is bid usually for day rate. He said we have never done that. Anyway I took a day off and got another one North East away from the Rockies and snow. It's so warm as well. I was in a T-shirt today. It's crazy. I had to drive to GP to get a belt for my sled and I'm heading back to load it first lite. I'm working Thursday elsewhere.

they are around but the only ones i ever saw were the ones on the husky tapes or very similar. the one i'm talking about was real fine and worked flawless. easy to push in and didn't damn near rip the tape trying to pull it. 9ft? come on man, speak english

Ha-ha...they all start at Nein ft..in German.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?'

At first glance that looks like organized chaos westboast lol! But I'm sure you would love to carry no more than you absolutely have to, everything there though has a purpose for you and it's neat to see how guys organize their gear in regard to dominant hand for starting wedges, tape, holding the saw ect. Or for you guys up north, where your radio might survive lol. Safe cuttin boss

 

[northmanlogging]

wound up a lot farther north then usual today, got to stop at a saw/logging supply shop that is usually closed when I can make it there. Anyway picked me up one of those aluminium axe scabbard jobs. took awhile to get er hung but with the ole Craftsman in there hangs real dandy.

Maybe if the rain and wind quit long enough tomorrow I can get ya some pics of my rig.

Is this shop in Sedro-Woolley?

 

[northmanlogging]

yup, dangerous place for a guy like me...

Luckily they close at like 5 during the week, and are only open till noon on Saturdays, makes it hard to get there when they are open.

 

[northmanlogging]

Also if you happen to be in the neighbor hood, The Iron Skillet sort of across the street has some good eats, classic diner stuff.

Would that be Woods?

Like me, every time I visit the folks in Centralia.

 

[northmanlogging]

I have a gift card to Wood's, of course it was left on the desk here at home... a plethora of things one could buy and then not use for 6 months.

 

[northmanlogging]

also I played hooky today... but managed to get a picture of the wedge belt...

some viking seems to have carved runes into your axe handle

Try having one right across the bridge from you that's really expensive real fast.

Yup, some of the stitiching is getting a bit stressed now, and I should probably get creative with the rivits,

Most decent saw shops sell em here fer like 12 bucks or so, I don't think they are supposed to carry that many wedges, but if you pull one up, the other will slip in, usually a spare chain in there somewhere too

If you soak them in water for a bit you can fit 5 in the small pocket and one up in the tall pocket as well.
