The 201TC is a great saw. Can't speak for the husky. I think what the guys are trying to say is there are already a shit ton of threads about these saws in the chainsaw section of the forum

Well stated Nic. Insurance is a must have. It's not a thing you can't afford. It's a thing you can't afford to not have. I've ( knock on wood) never had to use mine, but one mistake and I'd be f@#%*! without it.

Jose who pays when something goes wrong and there is property damage? If you guys have their own workers comp that's a whole other issue if they get hurt, but who pays for a roof??? I work full time doing this and do my own thing on Saturdays. Do you wanna guess what my Saturday work cost me a...

That's a nice set of gear there Jose. Loads of potential with that package. Be careful. Keep it small and know your limits. You also have to know your ground mans limits too. A poor groundie on the ropes can kill or injure a great climber. Be safe Also I'm envious of all that shiny new gear...

The block,rope, and sling will all work. I would seriously think about the ISC MINI blocks though. DMM makes some bad ass stuff but you could get two minis for the price. Of course you would need to get a 1/2" rope and a 5/8" sling.

Get a little tipsy last night Jose?

I prefer to be called a sawdust samurai

Going solo? I'd say 1/2 stable braid, ISC 1/2" mini block, 5/8 loopie, rig-n-wrench.

I use 200' almost everyday. I also use multiple blocks and redirects so that can eat up a lot of rope.

Nice Peter. And that also illustrates how light they are. I love mine.

Jose that block won't accept a sling bigger than 5/8" diameter. They are bad ass little blocks though. I would go with Samson stable braid 1/2". It performs well for the money.

Sorry, I'm overly confused. A unicender for a secondary tie in? I like gear but I climb with a wire core and my HH most of the time.

I know there is a way to do it but it's beyond me as I've never used one Jose. I keep meaning to try it but I gotta order one first. As far as I know you need to isolate your tie in point before trying to set the friction saver. Not the easiest task on a conifer.

I like that. I'm thinking something I could slide in the hitch receiver would work well also. Maybe a vise to slide out of the underbody of the chip bed. I'm up to late to think clearly though

Yup. Glad to know I'm not the only one that does that Chris. I'll also pound it between the deck boards on my equipment trailer. Jose sharpening takes practice and then more practice. Take your time. After you've done it enough you can feel when the tooth is sharp by the way the file vibrates...

F that. Not that any of this work is physically easy but that will make you old fast Jose

I don't disagree with you at all Chris. But being able to go " old school" if necessary can be very useful in a pinch. I also think that knowing and using the basic climbing ways lets me appreciate the new much more.

Difference between those kids and us is we can get it done without flashy things. Just a lot more like work though.

Jose, just buy an extra hundred foot hank of 1/2 stable braid and cut a few various lengths for your slings. All those splices will cost you a ton.

What the boss said. That's what I meant. I'll just climb up the tree to make the cuts. It's been over two years since I used one. If I remember right they vibrate a ton. That'll wear you out as fast as the weight.
