Sorry a bit late to this thread, can a guy get it full wrapped? For jobs like tree spacing or fall and burn..

My neighbour had the same issue, he lives close to power lines, with zero other structures around. So he used a excavator and basically turned his yard into a massive churn pit. It worked.

Does they make your saw bog down at all? They look neat for handmade.

3.5lb double pinned head, with a 18” handle. I use those aluminum scabbards…seen guys in a lot of trouble with small axes or not having it with them. It’s all fun and games until the afternoon breeze makes your tree sit back. On a side note it boils down to what your doing and personal preference.

Years ago i was a climber for a tree company out of north Vancouver...boss sent me on a job with 2 groundsmen that busted their butts..but little did I know they hated each other...I was relatively new to the company..half way through the removal job, they started throwing hands at each other...

Can’t really see it in the pick but she was leaning down hill a little...but I held on the hill and got a 12’6 and 10’’1 before she lost grade.

A lot of the fallers here in bc west coast..we use the helly Hansen rain gear..simple non insulated coat which weighs nothing and dries fast..and bibbed pants..some guys use the drawstring pants..cheap and they hold up pretty good for tromping around the shalal.

Depends on the tree species as well..let’s say Douglas fir I’ll usually 4-5” opening on a 24” tree..and let say a twisted gross maple I’d get a birds mouth in and have a massive opening..the cleaner the better.

I had two months off before I got back to the island..even now the boss only keeping 4 guys around..I know lots of fallers&loggers going hungry.

I tried to as Chris to demo one when I shifted back into skeene bay/ Creasy bay but he wouldn’t let it leave his shop...from what I hear I’ll stick with my walker 390s

I paid around 25,000 for my course 9 years ago...if you do the bc faller trainee course be prepared...I had to hustle hard to get a job..also have a ofa3 ticket helps..if your in it for the money look else where for work..it takes a deep passion to do this job on either coastal wood or interior...

Nice vid..next time I shift out of camp in a few weeks hopefully I’ll be picking one up..hopefully they’ll have full wraps and bigger dogs in the saw shop..cheers

What was the price you paid ?? The local Saw shop wouldn’t let me demo it in camp..he wanted them in town.

I hope they don’t go above 1450$cdn if they do I’ll just stick with the husky390s..

Any one get their hands on one yet?? I hope it’s not a lemon..and I wonder if it will hold up on west coast wood and ground

You’re defiantly right about the straps and the wood they hold..I got lucky on those because they’re basically standing straight and the bullet I had lined up would easily do the job..and no one likes making man made teepees out of 1oo+ ft gouty cedars.

If a guy can afford it and depends on your usages just go and buy a box of stihl light bar oil.

I had a 192 for climbing..immediately went and sold it and found 2 ms200s and never looked back..the ms200 are tough little powerhouses..if a guy can find them. Usually 5-6 hours in the Spurs if I’m not coastal falling.

I cut and strapped everything up and had another hammer to knock it all down..it went over slow and I was able to buck the majority of it.

Happy fundays up in Creasy bay..west coast Canada..
