stihl is doing their best to run me off, every "new" saw model seems a little less than the last one.:mad:

I'm always gonna climb with a 200T, but husky is right there. look at my Avatar, I do love a 372.


But I want Dolmar to give me a sponsorship. that 7900 rocks.:cheers: how does there big saw, the 9010 do? that handle design on the 7900 is really cool.

nice work

I could be wrong but it looks like your pads are on the wrong feet.
But still a great job.

looks like the long support part is going towards the back should be in the front.

Somewhere in a tree
Agree with that too.

What I usually do is lanyard in below where I am cutting in a position that will give me the most leverage to push a chunk off or whatever and clip in with my climb line hanging kind of loose a foot or so below my primary tie in.

After you put your spikes on the correct foot you may want to think about shortening them a bit. From the pics it looked like the pads were barely under your knees. Personal preference, I like mine around the meat of my calf. Something to try.
