I'm visiting with friends over the holiday weekend, and I quite accidentally snuck a File-O-Plate onto an airplane while flying from PDX to STL. The TSA guys spotted it immediately on the scanner, in my wallet, and surprisingly listened to sense and understood that it was not sharp or dangerous at all once I explained what it was. Will be interesting to see if I can get it back home as well. I'm willing to sacrifice it in the name of Science if it's a no-go.
Just put a sharp edge on it and then demonstrate how you can fling it into a watermelon from across the room.
Maybe after? Different experiment, you see.
Clench it between your teeth...tell 'em it's a dental appliance. Slobber on the counter a little.

The weather forecast for tomorrow has my favorite phrase "rain, heavy at times".
slowp, did someone steal your TigerCat or did you lend it to them for the Bangor show? Ron
Update: File-O-Plate made it home. TSA, oddly, listens to reason now, apparently. This is not what I expected of an Orwellian dystopia.
Tried out that there fancy GOL plunge cut with a trigger thing today... on a nice pistol butted Douglas Fir... got er all lined up and ready to go, tap in a little wedge just incase (cause I'm kinda dingy like that). Cut the strap and what happens.....
Nothing, didn't even quiver in fright, falling the stupid thing with the lean and it don't even move, still had to wedge the bastard over.

that's what i'm afraid will happen
The GOL poke cut does use a wedge. You tap it in on the side kind of.
I did that just I was kinda hoping for big crash boom, after the release... didn't happen, Me and its mother are very disappointed.:msp_mad:
Ooops, my bad. You should type slower so some of us can read it more carefully. :biggrin:
Did you throw rocks at the tree for a while?

Nope. It is a Forest Service method and is shown on a video that may be buried somewhere in the 500 pages of falling "pictures". It worked for them, but they were in a Ponderosa Pine ecosystem so it may not work here.
I'm sure somebody? Anybody? will pull it up and post it again.
