:lol: I wish my dollars went that far!

I always have at least one behind the seat of my truck and carry it whenever I'm in the woods walking or scouting. It comes in very handy for cutting vines, palmettos, cottonmouth heads or trimming up swamp cabbage.

If you're only going to have one, longer is better.

I worked as a land surveyor years ago Fi and got well acquainted with a machete. We swung a Collins and got them shaving sharp every morning. We actually cut down some fair size trees with them, not because we wanted to, but because that's all we had. On slack days we'd have our version of the...

That's a big ol' grin Jose!

I always thought it very dangerous too, a definite place for all your PPE and complete control of your saw. "Coleslawing", I like it Joel!

If you're getting the ISC 1/2" block Jose, it will not take a 3/4" sling. 5/8" max

If you don't already have a block, I'd go with the block first instead of the rings. A block is a much more useful piece of equipment all around when starting out.

Amen to that. My hat's off to those of you who actually like to grind stumps.

Digging out stumps by hand will make an old man out of you Jose and is very hard on your saw. You may be better off subbing out the stumps to someone with a grinder until you are able to buy one if that's the direction you want to go.

Pretty complicated rig for a new climber. In some of the brushy oaks here I'd probably have trouble with it. Look up some of the Hitch Hiker vids Jose. You should know how to climb with doubled rope but the hitchhiker with single rope is super simple and efficient. And a lot less costly. Even...

Jose, 1/2" rigging line handles 90+ percent of rigging chores for us. TreeStuff has the Husky 1/2" bull rope pretty cheap, plus you get free shipping. It's plenty strong and a decent nylon core polyester cover rope that has a little stretch if that's what you're looking for. Just make sure to...

Amen. Jose for another $250 you can get a saw that will outperform the rancher by leaps and bounds. Starting out I understand that money is tight but I would do whatever is necessary to buy a pro saw. You will thank yourself.

:thumbup: Glad things are working out for you Jose

Very sorry Jose.

:lol:I laughed 'til I cried

Very well said Jeff but it does sound like your pretty mechanically inclined to me.

:thumbup:

OUCH!
