    A biner on the end of the rope makes a vine-hook on the end of Silkys a good retriever. Sometimes I even find a stick in the tree that makes a good rope-retriever. I blew a rivet on my MCRS 6 years ago. I was sent a replacement around-the-waist piece. I didn't put the gear loop cord onto the...

    Ratchet straps hold POWs upright, and along with any other type of rope, pull chocks out from in front of tires when pulling off the chocks on a steep hill, solo.

    Brake pedal depressor-log. Parking brakes only hold the rear wheels. I had to 90⁰-guy a root- pulled tree (drainage swale/ maintenance and roadbed meant no roots for 180⁰) with my truck, solo, on an emergency job where 4 other trees barely missed the house. Using a log, I had 4 wheel...

    Do you mean firewood lengths? Very, very rarely do I cut single rounds, or bother with anything more than a MS460/ MS461, commonly a MS362 unless it's thick or cutting singles. Someone here posted something with a clever name. It was a matter of starting the second cut after the first is...

    Or any low strength connector, even cord with a soft shackle. I made basic soft shackles for my gf's overall clips to replace a broken connector. 3 cents worth of cord.

    A much safer way might be to remove them. I would guess they clip on- clip off. I've never worn suspenders, but can see them being good in the right situations.

    Pardon the dirty jacket, I didn't figure shooting downward was preferred 😉. A soft fabric, DD buckle works nicely for me. From the local Food Co-op Free Store.

    PPE should be the last line of defense. It is designed to reduce how badly you are hurt. Observing people's habits is different than endorsing people's habits. I know employees can get tired of me telling them to wear their gear or working safer, such as avoiding simple safety oversights...

    You've got sense. If there were no seat belts, ABS, airbags, etc, people would drive less in the snow, waiting out storms, etc.

    Knowledge, very portable and lightweight. Gravity, very heavy, but always there for you. Friction, a gripping subject.

    @stig 's trick on the plates. Start with (2) single-layer (not stacked) wedges. Before driving them too deep, as with stacking wedges, slip one wedge out, add a plate as deep as reasonable, allowing the first wedge to be reinserted about 1/3 to halfway in. Drive it. This will let your second...

    I wouldn't use something that is trying to pull the wedge out. A breeze could lift the top off the wedge, and it could come back toward one's face. KISS One small loop of cord that can hang on an existing biner. For actual wedging, I bring a pouch with wedges and plates, with a very...

    Sleeving the handle with pvc may be necessary( this and all rakes). My GK rake handle went quickly. A recently purchased wood-handled rake broke within minutes.
