    Yeah, they're kinda like those reclining chairs the old people have, where they have the lift mechanism that raises them to thier feet (and walker)... kinda cool in theory, but you gotta ask yourself "do I REALLY want one of those"?

    Ask that question on the next sixty foot thrust,rope walk, rad or however your doing it then as your looking at six more to do, ask yourself if its worth it? Personally I could climb without it but not as long in our heat and tall trees.

    Thanks Danno, nice of you to ask. The move was never gonna be easy, or cheap, I'll spare you the details. We're actually making a little headway now, wife stayed with me after all, so perhaps we're getting over the worst.

    Get the wraptor first. I barely even use my GRCS. Its great when you do need it, but Im sure you would use the wraptor way more often.
    Dont laugh! All of its paid for, and some of its still kinda new. (cept for the 372's in the box, there still extremely new.)

    was up 34 feet in a liquid amber to take out one dead branch, when a bumble bee was buzzing around my melon,
    swated at it and it went away...

    rigged the dead branch down, climbed down then looked up to see quite a few big black bumbles buzzing around the area I just cut!!!

    can you say "beemandan"

I already preset the big snot but if you had a few ropes preset it would up the production. In any event, I am pleased with it and though there is a learning curve to take advantage of its usefulness I find myself using it more and more. I also like my gri gri it is a perfect second tip or lanyard that adjust with absolute ease.
    Rope you run husky saws right? which model is most comparable to a 361 i have only ever ran and owned stihl's but as you know they quite making the 361 and came out with the 362. so i go get the 362 and its just garbage we have 2 of them now and thier as shiny as a new penny no one will use them when climbing over the 361's and they are getting old. 362 is heavier and a pain in the nuts to start ive had them at the shop over 5 times stihl even put a new motor in the one and its still not a 361. it would run for 20 min and wouldnt start again. so except for 200t's i think im gonna try huskys.

    i got to the top of a 70 foot pine on a 100+ degree day pulled it up my rope then it wouldnt start talk about mad.]

    I believe 365 xp or 362 xp is along those lines but a 346 xp would be a nice climber or bucket mid range saw. The thing is many of these newer models are crap with the new regulations. I would look for a good low mileage used saw maybe a 361 if you liked yours or a 346 ne prior to the newest stuff. Hopefully after they work the bugs out they will make them run better.
