Great video, clear explanations. Thanks! You should consider getting the WCS clutch cover and do a video installing that. There's so much more room in it, that all the crap tends to fly right through rather then building up in all the little pockets that are on the factory cover. Plus is looks awesome.

An awful lot of time wasted repeating yourself and could have shown this in half the time. Made it painful to watch ( for an Englishman)z. Repeated too much and then forgot to say how you secured the cable to the back of the binding.

I have already found old Intec handles in my collection but then decided to choose a much simpler solution: I knotted the middle of a flat nylon shoelace to the lever with a prusik knot, pulled the outer sheet of a 30cm cable over the two ends and attached the other end of the cable to the highback with the shoelace ends so that there is a nice loop you can grab. BTW. Burton already provided the solution. You can use the included safety leach and make a prusik knot on the binding lever and clip the other end to the highback to have a small loop to grab.

Hard to see the actual lean of the tree, but you cut through your hinge on one side. Consider a Masdaam rope puller, it lets you crank the entire rope distance compared to the come along. Another back saving tip is if two single wedges don't send it, go to double wedges quickly. Overall a fine job because you hit the slot you were aiming

I’m sorry. But I used to live in Utah, and everybody complained of the lack of water. That’s what you get when you live in a desert . Hurricane hurricanes continued to bombard, Florida .

@oldmanadventuring Ай бұрын
I understand where you are coming from. With the mountains of NC specifically, those areas are not considered areas that are prone to disasters unlike "Tornado Alley", Florida, Earthquakes in California etc. As far as not sending tax dollars, I think its safe to say we want to help, but we just want our dollars NOT wasted or siphoned off to other agencies or foreign entities. That's a whole other topic for discussion.

You can bore (plunge) cut with the 592 with the light bar. It’s fine. I have the exact same setup and do it all the time. I’ve bore cut with the Stihl 36 light too and those things are like noodles. You’re more than strong enough to handle it without torquing on the bar.
