Double Block Bucking

Ohhhhh stoppppp.... Q's a good guy. We probably harass him too much. Besides, I haven't seen him around lately, where's he been?

He kinda reminds me of Legolas the Elf, on Lord of the Rings.

Yeah hes a good guy,never said he wasn't he just goes by the book on everything and gives those of us who admit to doing no nos a hard time.probabley give me a hard time about not wearing gloves or sleeves or chaps while climbing.It isn't required acording to the z[except for ground operations].

LOL... Le'me tell ya whipper-snappers bout' a guy who never wore gloves, said he never would, cuz... etc., etc., then he got married... 15 years later, the guy's still wearing gloves

- Perspective. To be honest, I did a test - 266 sharp chain- taught lanyand, 90% angle -- cut through in over thee seconds less than four. I've only seen a lanyard cut into twice in 20 years. Both times the chain was useless, obviously not a 90% angle. Most sane people are well aware of the limitations and conditions; absolutes don't apply. Want to get me started, just say the magic words, "this is the only way!"

What are the magic words?

Streyken · 10th April 2008, 11:32 PM

"This is the only way..." I've seen too much B.S. for that!

newguy18 · 10th April 2008, 11:33 PM

This is the only way.

LOL! You're luck I've had my rum for the night, or I'd buy a ticket to Florida right now to track you down!

newguy18 · 11th April 2008, 12:02 AM

No need to track me down,just follow the yellow brick road.

Therrin · 11th April 2008, 01:57 AM

Find the path of destroyed trees, broken quads, old trucks for sale, and used piles of Lowes rope!

Appreciate the insight Streyken. So you actually have cut through the trawler cable then? Sounds like it'd be hell on a chain.

I stand corrected on the indestructability issue...

I've got those kevlar sleeves from when I was a glass tempering technician in Chicago. Cept I wouldn't think of using them as chain protection!!! I just wear em on brushy/spiky stuff to keep from gettin my arms torn up by the tree.

What is a trawler cable?...he said is 5/8" 91 strand?...
I don't know about this , i thought it was a normal wire core lanyard..

And I was not meaning kevlar sleeves, which are nice but just for handsaw or spikes or scratches, I was meaning real chainsaw protection sleeves, here is a picture

they are by pfanner stretch air from austria, but either this I will not trust so deeply..

this brand makes very nice chainsaw protect. trousers, stretchy and very strong. I have it for 4 yrs now and still in good condition.

PFANNER - Funktionelle und innovative Schutzbekleidung für Arbeit und Freizeit.

here's a demo test video from pfanner, and the trousers are blocking a 026 (seems) at full power, but i'm not sure about the trousers type, this could be also the klass3, which has more thick protection..

Destroyed trees?Just because most of my work is removals doesn't mean i destroy trees.My quad just needs a new air filter so it can be ridden again.

I think one handing and pushing with the other would be faster than this tech.
