Thank you for this video. I learned a lot. I must ask, why can't longer handles be put on several of those tools?
@tombowie8589 Жыл бұрын
Sometimes shortened handles are added, allowing single hand use but, normally they’d be full length.

When I saw the thumbnail image I wondered how old this video is. I haven't used or even seen a McCloud tool in over 30 years. A mattock is just plain useless and dangerous on a fire line. And where is the quintessential Pulaski?

The McCloud is very much alive in fire. How long have you been out of the game? In regards to the pulaski, did you watch the video? It had an extended period in which it was described in great detail.

Never turn back on a falling tree is not exactly correct. You should preplan 2 routes of egress, making sure to clear any debris. If the tree happens to block one escape route you can use the other. If you have to run you can turn your back at that point.

2 escape routes for tree felling was written decades ago as the rule. Anymore it’s 3+ routes.

Have to mention what a piece of crap the spade is. I have made a proper alternative to the standard issue and was quickly discounted as I wasn't a professional spade designer. It was a big hit with the actual fire crews that used it, so I can verify its usefulness.

10 feet apart?

It's a safe spacing for the firefighters, you know you won't hit or hit someone when swinging your tool.
Thanks for making this recording available! Very useful and helpful for those that could not make the workshop.
