30 years ago I traveled up to SC to work with a guy who I knew from Arboristsite. I had never encountered much PI and coming from Florida, I also was not familiar with most trees and vegetation losing their leaves in the winter. I climbed a removal covered with vine, all defoliated due to the...

Before seeing the other responses, my first thought was that the brand of saw isn't as important as learning how to keep the chain sharp. The best saw in the world won't cut with a dull chain. So therefore discussions like this are pointless and a waste of time.

Broad spectrum of good options already listed. I used to be highly reactive - go to the hospital reactive (western medicine thinking would call that allergic). I found a method of clearing "allergies" called NAET, Nambudribauds Allergy Elimination Technique. Now I can be around it some and...

Yep

I figured.

It’s a bot.

A good hand saw would be my recommendation.

I have not but I’ll try that on the next one.

Hey everyone, I am doing some basic yard work like pruning trees and cutting small branches. At first, I thought any chainsaw would be fine, but I learned quickly that picking the best chainsaw for cutting trees really makes a big difference, even for light work. I am not an expert, just a...

Wash within an hour, preferably less. I have not got it in years doing it that way. Other than my sisters friendly dog rubbing it on me.

So you get paid to do a cut and leave on this tree, start climbing up, ride it down without making a cut; do you still get paid?

Chipping PI sounds like having a death wish, to me :D.

I'm like Scott. No longer than 5-6 hour exposure. Wash my own clothes. Long sleeves. Gloves. Might get a couple annoying pimples of the shat. Kill the itch with aspirin and or benadryl and move on. Im careful not to breath smoke if burning. Prefer that over chipping the shat though. Or pack it...

If using .043 1/4" you could machine a 9t rim to fit, if they still make the 9t.

You're most likely a rare exception, Scott. Lucky you. Butch used to swear by taking Oral Ivy as a preventative. I have no idea if it actually works.

Have you wanted the braiding lube off?

Wow. Thats extreme! I do bathe that evening, just as I always do, (I do scrub a bit more thoroughly), but aside from that, I do nothing. I’ve never even considered washing any of my gear because of it.

A lot, lot more. Disposable outer layer. Preventative lotions. Washing immediately after with a wash cloth and soap scrubbing oil off. Wash all gear used.
