Up on Craigs List, NW Washington. Look pretty nice. No connection to me. https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/grd/d/sandy-crosscut-saws/7722346799.html

I ran across this on Craigs List. I know nothing of the builder, but the saw is handsome to look at :). https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/tls/d/shelton-stihl-ms440-chainsaw-outlaw/7707774096.html

I've been having some discomfort splitting firewood with my old reliable 6 pound maul, since my arthritis is buggering my hands and wrists up pretty much all the time now. In an effort to find a more comfortable time of splitting, I dug out the axe I inherited from my father when he passed in...

I think so...I have two friends that each are having a full hip replacement done this week. That's a good thing for them, in my experience...mine has been a true life changing benefit for a dozen years or so now. Both are having surgeons who do this prosthesis installation by a new surgical...

Today I was buzzing up some limbs and such for the woodpile with my 200 rear handle. After a while, needed fuel and oil plus a small adjustment to tighten the chain. I loosened the bar nut, then as I attempted to insert the scrench into the bar adjuster screwhead I was stymied by a bit of...

I'm having a hard time believing it's not a scam, or stolen. https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/grd/d/portland-chainsaw/7642571839.html

Finally getting to these pictures, after the bout with covid and a bunch of other stuff :)...life does go on. Link to the first thread on our Idaho trip in September: Back from Idaho | The Tree House (masterblasterhome.com) Lots of pictures, probably too many, but you know how to ignore an...

Had a great trip but had to cut it somewhat short due to wildfires, smoky air, and forecast wet weather coming up in the mountains. Unfortunately, a couple of days after we returned, I came down with covid. M is still well. Isolating in a single room with attached bath or being outdoors on...

Anyone know a source? Aftermarket, most likely. This 361 is the only saw I have aside from the 200 rear handle and 200T with standard half wrap handle. I'm a big fan of 3/4 or full wrap handles on saws, as many of you will recall. 3/4 wrap from Stihl was not an option for this saw when I...

Yesterday M, myself, and our best friends couple took a day trip to Silver Falls State Park. It had been many a year since we'd hiked there. Super weather, sunny and mid 60's. Picnic lunch, and then a stop on the way home at the Mt. Angel sausage shop/restaurant for brats and beer outside in...

I've been shopping for a replacement 20 inch bar for my MS361. I am really running into limited availability for a stock oem Rollomatic E. I'd also thought that I'd look at the lightweight version...even less available and the cost is over the moon in any event. So I'm looking for options and...

Chanced across this ad. Not mine! Listed in Hood River, OR. Maybe someone might be interested... Chainsaw chains - farm & garden - by owner - sale (craigslist.org)

My lovely lady took her XC skis out for a turn yesterday. One of the very few things my orthopedic surgeon strongly recommended against was skiing, not that skiing is hard on artificial hip joints, but rather that falling is high risk for dislocations...so I watched and smiled, while cursing...

I was perusing old threads and came across this one...closing in on 10 years ago. I found it pretty entertaining, to see what we were experimenting with then, and mentally comparing that with what we have as climbing tech today, in such a relatively short time. I think it's worth a read...in...

It came to my mind to toss this out there, from my safe rocker on the front porch :). Over the many years I climbed, and instructed climbers, it was a normal part of the hazard analysis to consider droughty weather as a factor that can/will increase the likelihood of limb and even stem...

M climbed a small red cedar near the house, about 40 feet up to get rid of the eyesore that showed up day before yesterday. She's still got what it takes, at 68! :)

Top handle saws I currently see on offer here in the PNW...seem like possibly good deals. I have no part in any of them, just showing what's there for anyone who might be interested. Husqvarna 338XPT Arborist saw - farm & garden - by owner - sale (craigslist.org) Stihl MS192TC 14" Arborist...

A quick story, one I bet many here might see themselves in... So I'm doing this little bit of rigging to take an almost dead, big and long Doug fir limb off a tree in front of our house...had to rig it because some pretty flowering shrubs and plants are below it. Just a couple of easy throw...

Finally decided after all these years to pull the trigger on a small inverter genny. Did a ton of research, picked this one out of the large number of makes and models available. It should arrive first of Feb. Once it is here and I try it out some, I'll post a review. I can tell y'all that...

Last night about 10:30 M and I evacuated our home, due to approaching fires, from two different directions. It was recommended then, but by early morning it was mandatory. Since we jumped early, we were able to take the time to pack some essentials in the Tundra and Forester...I even was able...
