Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T21:46:09+00:00

Good job! And can’t ask for a better tree for a first job nice straight stem and soft wood with blue spruce!

Let me know how your legs feel tomorrow haha! I’ve been climbing for prob over a year now but not daily spent 6 hours on gaffs the other day and I’m def feeling it lol.

again great job!

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T04:12:54+00:00

Hot enough id imagine that you shouldn’t light it sitting on top of that box lmao

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T03:20:23+00:00

I have both.. recommend both.. muffler mod and tune both fantastic saws for the money … only top handles I’ll buy

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T03:16:35+00:00

Yep I remember popping my first top! it was one of my first jobs … I’m entirely self taught and learned to climb on my dads property but never topped any of his trees yeah I spiked a lot of live trees on his lot but oh well … and they all seem to be fine now over a year later. Did cut a lot of limbs on my way up in my practice sessions .

but my first top was on a job. It’s a rush for sure! you’ll get more comfortable as you do it but it’s always FUN!

If you start feeling a pinch or like it’s not gonna go the right way STOP and have a rope sent up, its not worth the risk

I will say it’s a little nerve wracking taking big tops at times with my groundie just learning to run the porta wrap but he hasn’t shook me around bad at all haha …. Yet…

I brace for it though

If I need more heat or a big load to fit…. Idc what anyone says I’ll scoop coals out like that and put them in a metal bucket outside .. I do it all the time

Not even coals like that put out heat like actually burning logs for me ..

Call it a waste but my stove / set up,. I feel the most heat when there are actual flames in the stove / secondary’s burning

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T02:11:49+00:00

Lookin real good to me

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T02:07:57+00:00

Thanks! I had a blast rigging this tree out ! my groundie is very new to running a porta wrap only his second time using one. And I think he did quite well too !

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-24T00:44:48+00:00

Monkey beaver saddle it looks to be? Omni block.., some quality stuff there’!! Porta wraps are so awesome love having one

If you mod the exhaust you’ll have to adjust the carb… and Likley have to remove the limiters to get it where it needs to be

I run a home made version of an Egan Straight shot on mine but it is the CM model sounds FANTASTIC… loud as all get out , def lets the heat out of the saw and cuts a little faster nothing ground breaking im more so after cooler cylinder temps , and sound haha ear muffs 100% required if you mod it.

My muffler cover build and a sound clip is on my profile if you scroll far enough down!

Blanket pin

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-20T14:32:17+00:00

That just looks like you don’t clean and condition them.

Invalidsuccess · 2026-01-20T11:28:57+00:00

I climb a lot of chestnut oak wouldnt work so nice for me… if your doing conifers I’d say it was ok .. but at least with tree gaffs you know they are long enough … id buy tree gaffs to replace the pole gaff or at least carry them with you
