Yup...there's certain things that we shouldn't have to think about.

But you need to remember that he works in California....and in one of the most liberal and ecologically minded sections of the state to boot. If he does poop in the woods he probably has to put down a waterproof soil barrier and gather the results in an approved tightly sealed container for proper disposal.

I have Stihl chaps and they work great! A little pricey but they are great! I use my Stihl Lumberjack system helmet also when I am in the woods because of the ear muffs and stuff. If I am in thick old growth or 2nd growth wood I wear my signed Rygaard Aluminum hardhat Its is awesome and has everyone who works for Rygaard's signature on it!

You better bring your best game with you, that is my Sierra-Cascade Logging Show cap. I fell a bunch of trees wearing that, never got a scratch.

Were men safer sawyers in those days? My summertime firewood sawing clothes were jeans, t-shirt, and wolverine boots.

I think we paid more attention to the business at hand and of the equipment of the day. Or we were just knotheads. That cap was lucky, never got in any trouble wearing it and all my cuts were true.
I had hardhats bent on my head 3 times, have the scars to prove it, I bleed profusely, it annoys me greatly.

 

[imagineero]

Funny thing about head wounds.... big or small, they bleed entirely out of proportion to their size. It's a known fact that a scratch from a twig on the skull can produce up to 17 gallons of blood.

 

[RandyMac]

I have this amped up metabolic rate, it was worse when I was young(er), I bleed spectacularly, It clots up fast enough, but not before I look like I been fighting panthers, with a hatchet.

Thanks Sagetown! I look up to you!

Wood hauler thread post #1591. I will ask you again...are you sure you are 16 years old?

Let's not forget your comment that you "cut lawns professionaly".

 

[tramp bushler]

Are they?

I just had a couple of bad neck days in row. Such days the weight of a helmet makes my head ache. 600 mg of ibubrofen every 3 hours needed. Too bad the tin hats are not available here. I'd give it a try for sure!

.
Man, I feel for ya Sam. I tried the Stihl hard hat system in 2003 . It was a really well built set up. cost me about 80$ . I don't know what it was about that thing but after a week or 2 it felt like Humptulips had set a flyin parbuckle with an inch chocker on my neck . finally in a fit it got the full force of a Viberg 105T adjustment. Until it was adjusted all over the road. . Went back to my Mac T tin hat

My biggest gripe with a helmet system is that it is fragile but that could all be my fault. However my second biggest gripe is that I am always having to take it off to plumb a tree or when I'm walking and looking for snags. The screen and visor hand too low and are in my field of vision.

I don't fault anyone who wears a helmet system out in the woods, they just don't work well for me. Cutting firewood or milling is a different story.

Depends on what u call professionally some people classify it as if u make money from it in that case I was professionally cutting cutting grass and shoveling snow at eight but some would say it is getting a business license and paying taxes and all that crap I'm not taking sides I'm just saying it depends on what u classify as " proffesonal "

The most damage we see to our STIHL helmet systems is from getting smushed into the equipment trailers between use.

Visors and ear muffs get broken or bent. Much more awkward to store than a plain hard hat without the dangling accessories. But the attached visor and ear muffs more convenient to wear. We replace parts, but it is an on-going maintenance issue.

I once saw a bicycle rental trailer at a park that stored their rental bike helmets in a mesh hammock, hanging from the trailer ceiling. I thought about trying that, but that space is already full of other stuff.

Yes! I own my own lawn care business and I have a full blown business.

That's great. I like it when a kid actually works rather than just begs from his parents. Now what about that post I referred to? You said you will be 16 soon. So which is it, 15 or 16?
