    How good is just a standard metal detector for this use? Is there a better alternative?

    What You Should Do If You Get Hurt in the Woods When Alone

    My event didn't happen while cutting wood, but it makes a point that I never really understood. On November 11th, I was in PA hunting with cousins. I normally pick the last two weeks of archery season to spend with them. This year was no different. We didn't get out real early, because I had...

    Your worst chainsaw injury

    Clearing a blowdown on one of our trails at deer camp. Jut got my 562XP and was having a ball. A clump of autumn olive was in my way so I bent down to take the whole clump out at one time. Bad kick-back. Skip tooth caught the edge of my chaps but not quick enough.

    How do I safely bring down these trees?

    I own 25 acres in SC. The eastern border line runs along an old pasture that hasn't been maintained for at least 20 years. The fenceline is barbed wire but very little of it is attached to trees. Mostly, they used cedar posts. A great deal of the trees along this border only have limbs on the...

    DR Rapidfire Log Splitter

    IF there is a mechanical defect causing the problem, it would be covered. I cannot prove it is a mechanical issue. Something is plugged and, so far, I have been unable to figure out what.

    DR Rapidfire Log Splitter

    I have very good flow to the carb. I cleaned everything myself. That includes the jets and teh needle valves. I could not get one of the valves out so I took it to the repair center. The filters and hoses are all clear. They keep trying to tell me that it's due to ethanol. I keep telling them...

    DR Rapidfire Log Splitter

    I bought a DR Rapidfire almost one year ago. I have been very satisfied with it and have posted that info elsewhere on this forum. That was until I had an issue with it. Due to an injury, hospitalization and rehab, I have not been able to use the splitter for about 4 months. It was put in the...

    50:1 TruFuel

    My son bought me a case of Tru-Fuel, 40-1, at Lowes about three months ago. I keep it in my workshop. It must get pretty danged hot in there because the cans are now about 1/3 empty. Every can has lost that much volume in just three months.

    Public Service Announcement: Pack Your Saws Well

    I bought an 031AV on ebay. It was wrapped in about 5 garbage bags first. Then the fellow put another garbage bag in the bottom of the box. He then used expanding spray foam in the bottom bag and set the saw in before it was done expanding. Then he repeated that process on each of the four sides...

    Husqvarna 455 Rancher issues

    I find this strange. I just got my 455 back from the dealer and he rebuilt the carb using a carb kit. I had the same symptoms you encountered. Mine had sat for about 6 months. It would start then die about 5 seconds later. Then it just quit starting. The tech told me that the needle valves got...

    Trying to piece together a BSM.

    There are two 13hp motors listed. One clockwise and one counterclockwise. I didn't even know they made them that way. Which one do I need? P.S. I ordered the counter clockwise engine. I didn't even know there were engines designed to run clockwise. Learn something every day. Most of the time I...
