I hope you know and have discovered that putting the wire on the front post is a NO GO! That is your head traverse post. When U raise or lower the head. If the unit wants to roll back your end of track is higher than the start. Check your level parrallel to the tracks and level from diagonal to diagonal as well. That 1st blade is toast when yo hit the nails. Can maybe be resharpened.

I rode a bicycle century called "Death Valley by Moonlight." It started at the southern end of the valley just before sunset. Most of the ride was under the full moon. Didn't need lights. After the 100 miles I was cooked, and also very cold. Jumped into the shower at the motel with a six pack of Anchor Steam and a bag of Double Stuff Oreos. Stood under the hot water and replenished the glycogen in my depleted liver.

Hey,man! I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm in Atlanta with a new to me '22 300L and just spent the weekend riding the BDRx between Suches and Ellijay. We camped in the middle of them and rode to each town and back each day. My riding buddy is 100 miles south of me and can't get up to North GA as often as I'd like. I've watched a few videos of you and Doug already and you guys are going on some amazing roads. If you wouldn't be opposed to having a third wheel sometime let me know. As far as the saw work the main thing I always keep in mind is that the brake isn't going to save you if it doesn't get actuated. Straight left arm is what they say. Chaps are kinda like dressing for the slide and not the ride. Cutting with the tip and making plunge cuts is definitely VERY dangerous, but setting yourself up to be saved by the brake is about all you can do when danger is the road you must travel. With that said I fully agree that I'm still in one piece only by the grace of God.
@doingstuffseeingstuffАй бұрын
@@BlueBug-s9l that’s awesome. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I do mine. Doug is about 20 minutes from me but we are both an hour east of Clayton. So much good riding in North Georgia. I will hit you up if we can get something planned or if Doug can’t go. He is my only friend that rides. Most of the time it’s spur of the moment because of his business. I was talking to my Dad today about the saw and using it on KZbin. People reach out and make suggestions and I appreciate them. I really try to be safe when I am using it and I try new techniques all the time. I guess I have developed a good feel for what the saw is doing over the 35 years of using it. My son has picked it up and it is terrifying to watch him and hope he doesn’t pick up my bad habits. Trying to find us a class to go to for his sake. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

As for the G444 it was pretty impressive as far a power went. But speaking as a factory trained Gold Stihl Tech and former Stihl dealer, your saw technique is... terrifying. Please don't take this the wrong way but I'd rather keep watching new stuff from Doing Stuff Seeing Stuff than watching reruns of Did Stuff Saw Stuff (no pun intended). Again don't take this the wrong way but you need some chaps, don't drop start a saw, especially with the brake off at half choke (always crank a saw with the brake on). And be damn careful when using the tip of a bar to cut with. Like I said I'd rather watch new stuff from you than watching reruns. I really hope I didn't piss you off with this. Anyway have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The last time I was up there, the house my grandfather built in the teens was still there with people living in it. Also, my great uncles house was empty but still standing. My fathers family moved to S.C. in the late 40's. My brother and I went up there 20 years ago to look around and to try to connect with family. We took a wrong turn and started up a trail in his jeep. We were confronted by armed men and told to turn around. I thought we would be killed. It was obvious something illegal was going on. My brother is dead now, and we never went back. I pray it's not that way now. I have been considering going back.
