How would you hang that on a tool hook, transporter etc? Upside down? On the ground I just run my axe handle through my wedge belt, behind my back mostly. Use axe scabbard on occasion, if in small timber that has a lot of trees that lean back, and nothing to push em with. Big axes and long...

Just an update. Best way I've found. Copied off of Canadians. Eye lag bolt.

Weed eater string in the hole might work.

I break 2 or 3 a year, normally. I generally go through about 100'(a roll) in that same time. Never been injured by it, and don't worry about it. Had a small cut in a few pairs of pants I guess. Non issue for me.

To kill em. 😁 They've got some kinda wildlife enhancement thing they're doing.

Thanks Cory. We're cutting right a way right now, full manufacture, second growth, kinda boring to me to look at. We're also climbing and girdling tops for the blm. So nothing that's neat to watch, imo. Lotsa traversing with the grapple hook I guess.

Bear trap here is generic for any kind of a man killing mess, tree wise. I always thought it came from dead fall type traps, I dunno.

We call that a squirrel bridge. Usually try to fall them over backwards, straight away from the hanger. Bridge is usually pushing the stem in that direction. That, or mash the hanger down with another tree.

I've used haywire from 3/16 up to 7/16. Yarder dependant. 3/8 is most common here. 1 1/8" is biggest chokers I ever set. Downhilling with a skavinsky, aka rider block, aka pollocking. Wow, just realized that was 28 years ago. I'm gonna take a nap.

One season in se alaska isn't much, I admit. Twenty-two years cutting, and counting, down here in Oregon. I'm not worried about bears for my own safety. I'm worried what they will do to local livestock and wildlife. I put them in the same category as wolves, and if you're a hunter or rancher...

To each their own, that's why they make so many models I guess. My pants have holes in the knees long before the pockets wear out. From cutting trees, on my knees. Just thought I'd be preemptive about the lewd coments. 😁

I've seen dozens. Spent a season cutting in Hoonah.

I know the feeling. I miss my dog more than most people, by a fair margin.

Carried old timer stockmans for years, lost most of em. Switched to case when schrade went over seas. Favorite nowadays is a case sowbelly. Three knives in one. Never understood packing a single bladed knife myself, not when it's almost the same size with two or three blades.

I have and still do in big timber. The rest of the time an axe is plumb adequate.

I've read your posts for years Stig, and I respect you and what you do. On this subject I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

We ridded ourselves of these predators long ago for a reason. Just my .002
