What can I say... Exhausts from petroleum DOES ruin the environment and add to the global warming. A lot of people have economical interests in keeping the petroleum industry going. They keep fighting against the development of alternative energy sources. The US is on the edge of...

Nevermind the cold and heat, how about the darkness ? In a week the sun will rise at 8.45 and set at 14.45, and it never gets very light. In the northern parts of Sweden the sun don't rise at all right now! Hard to get much done with these short days. Hoping for some snow to light it up...

Almost forgot Storrick's review pages of vertical devices: http://storrick.cnchost.com/VerticalDevicesPage/VerticalHome.shtml

A figure-8 is a descender. The Stop is a descender with a "let-go-and-you-stop" feature. The Gri-Gri is a belay device with a "let-go-and-you-stop" feature. It can also be used for shorter descents. The I'd is a descender and a belay device which can be used for work positioning. It...

MB, sorry, no subs. The sound was more in reference to the straight dual exhaust pipes with a sad exuse for mufflers. This is more of a restoration project, used once or twice at work but mainly I drive a swedish volkswagen...the Volvo, I will post no picture of that :)

All very cute vehicles, but if you wanna arrive in style and with a memorable sound there really are few alternatives...

I'm looking for some nice all-around protection trousers, going to England, any suggestions? The Husqvarna version of all-around protection make you feel like an medival knight in full armor. The 9 layers of ballistic nylon?! just aren't very practical when climbing. And the price, 1900...

Kerosene, motor oil, olive oil ? Are you serious ? If you have run a saw for any extended periods in sub-zero temperatures you will know that this is not an issue. Bar oil does not need to be thinned during winter. As soon as the saw heats up, the bar oil will be heated too and float just...

Recommendations? Other than putting on the 13" bar ? :p 346xp, great choice and seen from my side of the atlantic, great price. Here we pay 7000 kr for the 346xp, equals $920 ! No special recommendations for this saw, just service it regularly and keep your chain sharp. And use VegOil for...

20" on a 50cc, no doubt this is a matter of personal preference :) Here everything up to and including the 362xp comes with a 13" bar as standard! Obviously not so in the US. Buy both a 13" and a 16 or 18" bar and see what you like best. Your right Justin, many swedes are obsessed with the...

You mention that you will cut small trees and shrubs. Why would you put a 16-18" bar on your saw ? With a 13" bar you can put down trees that are over 30" in diameter, that's big around here. The 16-18" bar will be practical occasionally, but mostly it will be in your way. Saws like 55, 350...

Welcome to Arboristsite Scott. Husqvarna make great saws for ground based work, Stihl are a bit sharper when it comes to climbing saws. The 346xp and the 357xp (which I run at work) are both excellent saws. The acceleration is one of the best I've tried. The xp saws are for "professional"...

Hmmm... Aren't you using vegetable bar oil ? Around here it is the most common bar oil available. It can get down to -30 deg. celsius (-20 Fahrenheit) occasionally during winter, it thickens, but is definately useable. It costs about $3.5 per liter...

Here is a pic I found of the red ball attached to the end of the climbing line for retrieval. It has a small loop of thread attached to it, you girth hitch that onto the splice of your climbing line.

Nick, on the RG that I've tried I never opened the "small ring", the bow shackle, just threaded my climbing line through it and then through the pulley. For retrieval I attached the small red plastic ball that came with the RG to the end of my clibing line. The ball and line will pass the...

Husqvarnas also come with the TAC system (Triple Action Chainbrake, the others being the lefthand brake and the inertia brake) as an extra safety option for no or very little extra cost. It is a brake handle that is activated by the right hand. Available for rear handle saws.
