These are from the Sherrill site, I'm sure other places offer the same.

You don't. Someone was using a remote controlled helicopter to fertilize his rice fields, they are about four or five feet long. He was bringing it in for a landing and miscalculated and ended up chopping off his leg.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

OUCH!

 

[Paul B]

maybe not terribly exciting to you but I am keen to read it.

 

[Tree Reb]

That should be a good read Paul, I saw a documentry series about their journey a few years ago it was really good.

I just found you can read them here, http://lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu/ Not the same as a book though really.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Dang! A lady gets headshot from the get-go? Lawdy!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Thanks for the link. It would sure be cool to get a glimpse of the pristine scenery that Lewis and Clark experienced.

OH MY GOD THE HORROR!!!

ALL GEAR DYNEEMA RIGGING LINE

https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=1899

They say it is over 9 tons MBS @ 9/16" But we know the truth... Its basically just braided chewing gum!

 

[PCTREE]

Why braided chewing gum??? What have I missed??? Expensive bull rope.

 

[bonner1040]

I am just being silly, it is dyneema... which there had been some discussion about.

Heck of a high minimum breaking strength for that diameter rope. Wonder what safety factor they figure in for the working strength?

Hope it comes with a spliced eye.
Wouldn't want to tie a knot in it.

I am wondering if I could justify buying a quad copter to set my lines in trees. Oh and to photograph defects from the ground. I'm expensing this toy if it kills me.

[PCTREE]

OM I was seriously thinking about trying to use an AR Drone to set lines in trees, never could find out how high they can go though..

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, it was getting dark out.

 

[squisher]

Hmmm. I see you've gone over to the darkside.


Lol. New saws are nice!

 

[Reddog]

Hmmm. I see you've gone over to the darkside.

Sad day, poor management decisions by Stihl US to not import heated grip versions forced me to change.

 

[arborworks1]

I was trying to get a new 441r mtronic. They Will not sell me the wrap version inmy area. But they will sell me the extra parts after the fact. Shitty move...

 

[Reddog]

Yup, I got a email response from the head of Stihl US customer/tech service that just sealed the deal for me. I have ran Jonsereds and Husky's before, I saw no reason to stay with Stihl for my new needs.

 

[emr]

That sucks how they decided to deal with you. I don't blame you, I would do the same thing.

 

[stig]

No heated handles!

If they tried that here, they wopuldn't sell a single pro saw in the whole country.

Everybody runs arctic package in the woods here.

 

[Al Smith]

Well that would make sense considering the fact Norway lies pretty close to the Arctic circle .

One would like the upper part of Michagan or northern Minnisotta should be Arctic as cold as it gets at times but they're not .Geeze freeze the ballz off a brass monkey in April .

 

[stig]

Norway doesn't "lie pretty close to the arctic circle" Al.

The circle runs clear through it.

Which is somewhat besides the point, since I live in Denmark
