Measured from the case, 20" + 24" s/b about right, but the 28" is really only a 27". If you look, and compare the link count, it will become obvious.
And even more out of it when you're not doing the cutting

Close...28" is 91dl on a Stihl...93dl on a Husky. Husky and Stihl bars are different lengths on a couple of different bars. 32" are both 105, 36" is 114 on a Stihl and 115 on a Husky. However, if you run an 8 pin on the 36" like I do, a 115dl chain isn't a bad option...what else, a 41" Stihl bar is 123dl of .404. That's all I know, I'm an idiot savant when it comes to bar lengths lol.
BUT I did a lot of the thinking, and that's a HUGE amount of work for me!! lolAnd even more out of it when you're not doing the cutting
Looks like a nice load
Congrats on the purchase...I love my 400. It's my "go to" saw for a lot of stuff.
I have to agree with you. GNP is the crown jewel of the rockies (as they say). It's been over 30 years since I've back packed there. I too want to go back, but my knees won't allow me to hit the trails. Many visits since then, just no back country.
My favorite park by far. You got that close to a bear? And the big horn sheep? We only saw them off at a distance. I recognize the one trail with the hiker as the High Line Trail, but the other trail photo I don't recognize. And what lake is the last one? I use to know a lot about the park, but it's been a long time since I've been there.
Yeah, that does take a good bit of energy lol.BUT I did a lot of the thinking, and that's a HUGE amount of work for me!! lol
At least I ran the splitter! AND I even split all the blocks he already had set aside at his house, because his Husky splitter wouldn't split them.

It runs good and sounds good, but they were big blocks of heavily knotted wood, I just figured mine split them because it has a bigger cylinder...Yeah, that does take a good bit of energy lol.
We're about to have issues, you mean his "Huskee" splitter wouldn't split them
That was nice of you, what's wrong with his splitter that it isn't splitting, that don't sound good.
I've split some gnarly stuff with the 22 ton huskee splitters, you just have to take a bit off the right spot first. But I've has some ash and some elm stop them when it seemed it should have ran right straight thru no problem
.
I try to not get that close to bears lol. We only have black bears here, they're starting to become a nuisance...raiding trash cans and have even broken into a few houses.
Nice work finding that deer! Good on ya!
Nice pictures also! Thanks for sharing! You look like a young man who means business Mustang M! A lean mean hunt'n machine!
Looks like regular blanket moss on limbs, but underneath the moss. Is IMOP, a saw chains worst enemy!
Some Spruce Grove's on the Island have worse ash conditions than others. In the Summer, when in a strip with bad conditions. Sometimes only five or six trees can be fell and worked up into a couple logs before having to swap chains. In the Winter time. Believe me when I say Im not exaggerating and a Faller can go through two round files a day when the ash conditions are at their worst! 
I've spent as much time filing as sawing in a 6.5 hour work day before! Let me tell you. IT SUCKS!

Volcanic Ash! View attachment 1016361View attachment 1016362View attachment 1016363View attachment 1016358
The ash on the limbs of these trees never really dries up because its a very damp climate on the Island. When the ash gets saturated after big rains in the winter and then freezes. You might as well be sawing into a piece of concrete sitting on a limb! One or to pass's through limbs when frozen. The chain is done until retuned!
It was a 3 hour drive home from Upstate NY (near Utica) to my home in Brewster with that large deer tied on top of my Pinto Station Wagon!Nice work finding that deer! Good on ya!
