Should give it a go, it is well built and works just like it says. I am not dealing with big heavy wood, biggest I put on it is 8 foot length of 10-11 inch Birch and it handles it no problem.



I don't think I could work with one of those on, especially shoulder carrying wood out I would imagine the wood and bark constantly getting snagged up on it not to mention the brush I am packing it through. May have to stick to my Deet suit lol.
Would be good to have in case they attack you in a swarm.
 
Bitsy do you ever see Chaga on those birch trees?

Yes I do, have a some nice ones marked for harvest this winter :) My wife and I have been hunting and harvesting it since we moved into this area, awesome stuff.
We drink tea from it daily, think I will have more then enough this winter to make it worthwhile selling some..

I used to save it, thinking I could get a few $$s, but couldn't even give it away.

I even contacted a few places that claim to sell the stuff to see if they wanted it, couldn't even get a call back.

Tried it before, YUK!
Tastes like old potato house dirt mixed with stale mildewy basement.

Things have changed a lot regarding Chaga in the last 2 years, it is not hard to sell at all and is going for $40-$50 a pound in chunks and up to $80 ground. May be worth another look :)

For the taste I don't mind it but prefer to add it to a tea I like or my coffee in the morning. I don't even notice it is there that way.

Dunno, like I said, can't even give the stuff away here.
 
Chaga is kind of a big thing here also. My FIL has been using it for a year or so now & swears by it.
 
I would be happy to take it off your hands and give you a chunk of what I sell it for. Has to be harvested in winter though otherwise it aint much good.

We log year round, if it's off a tree cut other than winter it's no good?
