    How many views do you have on that video? Think about how many you could have. Generating income/ retirement income without additional sponsorship. You know, how around here is about 80 and 60% humidity, after a cool morning. Really hot approaches 100, very rarely. 95 a day here or there in...

    Butch, there is money in YouTube advertising, FWIW, if you have enough traffic, which you would. You keep having those "I should move" moments.

    Like I can't wait to get away from my phone and go _______. Let me tell you a story about the time we went _________. Mine was rock climbing. I used to spend a LOT of time in the back country. Not really anymore.

    That was a great video. Makes me wish I had a "fishing".

    I shed enough tree bits with short hair. I can't imagine it not being a huge mess to do treework with dreads. Definitely not adding a safety factor.

    Yes, larger fir stumps. I usually just say 4 or 6 inches or less, to give me some buffer, and cut it low as is reasonable. They feel like they get a little extra. They can't complain about it not being low enough. If they want to mow over it, that would mean digging around the stump, and a lot...

    You're right, Justin. When people ask me about how low I can go, I tell them that it takes more time and wear and tear and sharpening to cut that squirrelly-grained, dirty wood, so more cost, but less than me bringing my grinder. Get paid a chunk extra for ALAP. I normally spec the contract...

    I'm guilty of skimming through stuff, often checking in on new posts frequently, while doing various other things online and at the computer. A lot of folks don't realize that dogs are available for a 192t.

    Dogs are important on top-handles, too... 192t <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xX9Xj0faq3g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> around 6:00, you can see no dogs

    Once you go Full-wrap, you never go back. Until then, you just don't know what you're missing. Kinda like big dogs, and wedges.

    A full wrap is great, but not necessary. Kinda like air conditioning. A full wrap would go a long way on your 461, IMO, especially if you need to use it in the tree. Maybe buy used, and sell your 1/2 wrap to support the full wrap purchase. If you need a handlebar as a spare part, you usually...

    NO chicken-winging the saw. Think of it like in rock climbing on a steep wall...straight arms, mostly, adjust your body, bear the weight on your frame, stabilize as possible, least effort possible. Normally, I'll rest the pistol grip in my right hip, wrap handle always held at the balance...

    A good vestibular system, and spatial-relational intelligence goes a long way. Unconciously incompetent... conciously incompetent... conciously competent ... unconciously competent. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition, like shooting baskets, but rather than going from 3' from the basket to 3...

    You know it made a THUD when you can see it shake the camera on the opposite side of the trunk.

    Throw a couple guy-lines on the tree for stability, and leave some branches for energy dampening. People are frequently all too ready to strip stuff off because they can, rather than they should.
