I have used this one for over a decade. No math, deals with slope.
Stig I'll take the Gopro out on Saturday and drop a couple. When I first was shown how to do it I thought I was getting messed with. It works and I have done a few hundred times with no mishaps. Not any scarier than putting in a Coos Bay.
Both you fellas know I am not a tech guy. so can't do the Photoshop cool line and arrow things. So let's see.....From the back looking at a clock, the holding wood is right where the pin on the hands are (thickness is gauged by diameter). The bottom of the face is right around 4 o'clock the top...
Think holding wood like a Coos Bay, oriented to the head. Your "face" is super steep going sidehill to the head and the "backcut" is real steep as well coming from the top. Seems nuts but works like a charm, keeps you from blowing it up and having to chase the bastard down the slope.
Last modded 260 by Rick Butler. I only get asked to do removals so it sees more time than any other saw in the tree. Falling still with modded 440's and 460's.
Take the end of you line and pass it thru the loop, then start tying a prusik. You can get a 3-1 wrap or a 4-2 wrap. not really a Swabisch , but functions similar.
Much better analysis. Looks like an old windcrack right where it separated. Again as you said, easy to critique from a video showing one aspect. Fact is, if he bore cut everything, he wouldn't have been anywhere near that tree since he would have been about 2 years behind in his strips.
Prices seem high to me for saws that are over 10 years old. If they have a season in the woods on them that is real high price. Fire them up, determine if the fuel lines, impulse lines, boot etc are in good shape and make him a realistic offer.
I wouldn't. Technora is very self abrasive, not comfortable with that at the choke point. Amsteel gets used commonly in High lead and Skyline setups out here now and there is a lot more heat potential in that setting. Why the need for so much strength? The tree is only so strong. Polyester is...
