I prety much use the same b'ness you guys are using, but I use 3/8" loopies instead of loop runners...more versatile and quite srong. Ms200 at work, 335 husky on my time. I prefer husky saw for the handles - otherwise both are great saws. Always have second splitail for the occaisional...

I haven't read the whole thread but, one day we were sawing up the wood after dropping the half rotten log of a big removal...rotten crap falling out and all. You know the big white larvae you see squirming around in that rot?...my boss was being a smart *ss and helps one over his mouth faking...

good points again Guy. How would that digicam tie into you keeping the attorneys off your behind? Any experience there? ps...I'm not trying to be the 'save your *ss at all costs' fella...just looking for others' input.

vote number four; 1.75 zi/8 oz bag. It does get caught on everthing on the ground, but learn to use a rake or set your line on a tarp. besides that, this line outperforms everything i've used.

MM, if I used a pulley, rope and a truck to pull a skid of beer up my driveway to my garage be cause it would be waaaay to much work to carry all the cases up my driveway...would you think down on me or would you consider that acceptable creative thinking?
