anyone of you alls know where a guy can buy just the cardboard boxes that chains come in?

You are talking the little boxes a single chain comes in? I might have a couple laying around.
Yeah. The tree guy I do saw work for also has me sharpen his chains. he wants some kind of organization/labeling so he knows the length of each chain.
So im thinking of buying in bulk. I have also thought of of the manilla tags with wire to put on each chain thats also labeled.
I like that idea. Not much invested. Throw it away when u grab one out of the ziploc.I put mine in a ziplock with a paper tag indicating pitch, # of DL, and whether it is sharp or dull. You could buy a box of cheap business cards and label the back of them with each chain's info.
Problem with those factory boxes is they crush pretty easily and the chain falls out of the bottom.
I'm cool with that! HahaYeah until someone calls your office asking for chainsaw repair LOL
Right there in that picture is the first plastic container to go with the card lol.I like that idea. Not much invested. Throw it away when u grab one out of the ziploc.
I have enough of these. Have had this box for over a year...only handed out about 2 I think? Haha

I guess I'm lucky. I get a little tired before my buddies, knee joints are PITA. Not the end of the world for me, just keep trucking. I feel for your buddy, wish him the best.That would be a logical reason to be a bit more aware of the little buggers.
Hope you never have all the issues by buddy does, he only has a few hrs a day he has the strength to do anything and is 100% on disability.
He was the type of guy who would do anything for anyone, and now he can hardly care for himself, he makes me think hard when I'm wanting to be judgmental about people I feel are lazy . If he could deal with the weather in Mi I'd have a room ready for him as quick as I could.
Agreed about the permethrin being some nasty stuff.
We try to do as much with natural remedies and such as we can, and would be considered a bit odd in that regard, but we are ok with it.
Even though the EPAcrazy2:, when I use this guy it's because it's a supposed conspiracy, or it is a factual one) says it's a'okay, I try to stay away from most of the synthetics such as permethrins. Although I would use it if in some areas of the country were ticks are bad, but would limit the use and I would not place it on my skin. I would also not wash any clothing items that had it on them with other clothes, especially my kids clothes. I do this with deet , the 98.25% stuff, you can see how much I've used over the last 5-6yrs. I only use it on my hands(just a couple drops) then my neck and clothes. At least I can control the dosage unlike vaccines.
Like stated above we like the natural remedies and such, but I try to be balanced in life and not swing to far one way or another, as there are benefits to many of the products on the market if used in moderation.
I would use the oil first though and see how that works.
Hope this helps .

Hi CF.I purchased one of those cases with movable dividers to put all my chains in. I can't remember what it's called but it's easy to grab on the way out and I have all my chains stored neatly.

Thanks, he's a great guy. Sometimes we are talking on the phone and he just can't focus because he's so tired and says he has to go.I guess I'm lucky. I get a little tired before my buddies, knee joints are PITA. Not the end of the world for me, just keep trucking. I feel for your buddy, wish him the best.
Trailer has been doing what it's supposed to.Hi CF.
Thats a good idea.
How's that dump trailer been treating you.
Any thoughts/advice after having it a while.
Hope all is well over your way.
We didn't do the formula thing, but that's a cool idea.I myself use old baby formula containers. I can put many in one case and they have a hinged lid on them.

I remember something about that one being sold as something it wasn't.Trailer has been doing what it's supposed to.
After getting the wheels bearings repacked and adjusted because there was barely any grease in them and they were all loose. The latch for the toolbox came apart in my hand one morning so I had to replace that. Couple lights are burned out already.
But it did dump a 4000 pound over rating load after moving some from the front to the back. Can't complain about that but I wouldn't buy another from this dealer or manufacturer. I won't recommend it to anyone either just on principle.

That's where I thought you got it.It was becks north of St Johns.
I would recommend either a load trail or PJ. I should have bought the load trail they had there, but I purchased based on price and the reputation Legend dump trailers used to have. Legend doesn't make dump trailers anymore so don't get fooled like I did.

@chipper1 Where do you get the Rose Geranium Oil you speak of? Ticks are out already around here.In all seriousness AO I am all to aware of the many issues that can come from lyme disease. I have a friend who suffers greatly from it and a host of other diseases that you are easy prey to once you have lyme disease.
Also one of the saw builders on AS has Lyme disease, but no excuses right.
Depending on what you are into or not into there are a couple products that have had very good results keeping the ticks at bay.
Permethrin is one that is in a lot of the insect repellant hunting lines.
Rose Geranium Oil is an all natural product that can be used as a tick repellant also.
Hope this helps .
