[@wauhawk]

I started replacing pull cords with paracord years ago. Far more durable than factory cordage. You can always cut a branch from the many around you for a pull handle if needed. You can wrap the scabbard of that hand saw with duct tape and paracord so you have both on hand without taking up prime real estate in your pack.

[@SMiller5488]

wauhawk use the compression release, factory cord last a long damn time.

[@wauhawk]

No such thing on lawnmowers and most other small engines.

[@ricflair5956]

[@ajohnson153]

With all the free advertising you've given Stihl on this channel over the years, you could probably make a pretty good case for asking Stihl to donate one of these saws to your department.

I can't believe a bunch of guys would show up with chainsaws and no one had an extra chain. I thought it was standard practice for everyone to have one to two extra in their saw kit even if it's only one you replaced. I keep an extra with each saw and I'm just using my saw for my personal land maintenance and firewood. All it takes is one rock and your done.

When working fire crew, I always spray painted my bar nuts, scrench and files in blaze orange. That way, they are much easier to find when you put them down or drop them.

Bought my 460 6 years ago from a retired logger...not sure how many years he used it...but I've never had a problem with it..Always starts right up and keeps on going...ALWAYS use non-eth 91 and Amsoil Sabre oil....Glad you bought such a perfect saw...I wish I could afford a 660 myself or 880.....For your kit Cody I'd suggest one of those little plastic Stihl piston stops...my dealer just gave me a couple when I asked about them...just in case you need to pull the clutch off or something...they are small and light...an ounce maybe....

[@camerongunderson8117]

the R in the model stands for " rescue " for FF when venting a roof or forcible entry. the longer handle with the wrap around gives more options when standing on a roof.

Last year I upgraded my old 44 Magnum to a new 441C. I love it...no issues after 1st year. Great with a 25" bar for bucking maple, beech etc. I bought a replacement piston/cylinder kit on-line for the 44 Magnum. Easy, quick and cheap to replace. Now I use it as a back-up saw. Thanks for the tips on a spares kit...keep 'em coming!

[@REMIREZZ]

Hey Cody, what my crew does and pretty much any other type 2 IA or type 1 crew does is have your swamper carry a pounder. A pounder is usually just a pulaski that has the axe head cut off of it with a piece of plate steel welded on, making it a good tool to be able to pound wedges and still dig if need be. It's also great to throw a dolmar around the handle to carry with. All of us keep a small wedge in the pocket of our chaps and then stackables in the side pockets of our line gear. And if you're falling or bucking anything big enough that you need the stackables, its pretty accepted to take off your pack and keep it off while you're cutting.

[@brian_2040]

Here he goes again. We are a Stihl dealer and literally any saw that is ordered, you can get it with a wrap around handle.

[@fastst1]

In case of a terribly pinched bar, I'll take the bar off the saw and leave the bar and chain until I can get it freed, takes the powerhead out of danger while getting it freed up. I keep a spare chain on the spare bar. Great tips all along the trail!

[@thecolonialcraftsman4014]

Good Choice. My MS461 has been great... plenty of power and well balanced with 25"-28" bars. Pulls a 36" bar well with a chainsaw mill and rip chain... I've milled up to about 29" ash with mine. Starts reliably too!

[@theabhominal8131]

[@obxkoastie8170]

Cody, the 3/4 wrap handle is available everywhere. What is not is the West Coast clutch cover without special order. If you look at the clutch cover on a standard MS461 you will notice it is significantly smaller than yours. Keep up the good work and stay safe. That MS461 with modifications takes no prisoners!

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Glad to see you back at home and safe.

[@billsbullets]

Great choice in Saws 👍🏻👍🏻 my very first job was small engine repair and I specialized and welcomed repair on STIHL saws. I used to run when I saw,a Pulon or Sears Crapsman. You might want to see if you can have someone at the camp sight trained with an electric saw sharpener. This way when you come off shift you can drop off your saw and have it blown off refreshed with bar oil, gas. Just a suggestion. By the way thank you for your service.🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻

[@mikel9567]

I have a Poulan Pro that I use on my property and it has been great, except for the oiler. That damn things goes through bar oil like none other. You can actually see the oil spraying out when your cutting. I haven't found any way to adjust it.

One item I have found that works with torxheaded bolts is metric Allen wrenches. There are many big stores that sell them with lifetime warranty. About 2.5lbs. It helps more than you will know!

[@TheClandinc]

the thing I like to see is that you are constantly trying to improve your kit. if you learn something don't work remove it. if learn something new add it. I honestly think that it shows that nothing in a tool kit stays the same.

[@wranglerstar]

Thank you Chris. Can always do and be better.

[@roberthowell932]

I would add a flat magnet on a cord in a ziploc sometimes stuff falls on the ground and its a life saver. In that kit and zip ties. I bought a timberline sharpener out of idaho they are made to see if it was decent and getting used to it. I wish it was stainless vs aluminum but its a product the local hardware store recommended they do not sell. I have 2 huskies. Not sure if i can buy those special bars for mine though. I would put some gas line for the end of your bar tools. Sometimes I need extra gas lone for something else. I was thinking about eventually building that old gas gan he has out of stainless eventually. Getting my hypertherm powermax fixed and next a roller. To bend steel.

I've had a 661CM for past 2.5 years and I can't say a bad thing about it. A lot of extra power for little extra weight. Don't have to worry about spare nuts (capture nuts on it) 661 is a very well balanced saw from 20" to 36" it feels good. I just can't see a point in your saw, but we all have our favourite choices.

[@MrTheothercan]

I have a MS441 Magnum and it's been the absolute best saw I've ever owned or used. Strange that others told you it's such an issue for most. Guess we have the luck of the draw. Another thing I think would be a great add for your spare parts kit is some extra carb fuel line since it's lite weight, and could go in your plastic bag easily. That stuff can get brittle and who knows how long some guys saw has been sitting. Just a thought for ya. Love your videos and thank you for sharing.

[@ArdieStranger]

I would highly recommend to have a spare bar if there is no second saw nearby. If your chain got stuck you can just put your motor to the next one an free your gear by yourself. I once underrated the torsional stress in a tree and got stuck with the 25" saw. We needed 1 hour to free it with the small 12" saw. Wished I had a spare bar on hand, would've been done in 5 minutes. And, especially for the volunteers, try to work with small saws. I spend 2 days of saw work in a storm area with a 440 or similar and I noticed 80% of the work could've been done with a small 12" bar, less exhausting, more efficient and safer. A MS170 is about 200 bucks complete, and even if it's no pro saw, you can get a lot of work out of it.

[@lodgeman1]

You'll love the 461, I went to one from a 440 and wouldn't look back. Fantastic saw amazing power to weight drives my 30" bar in hardwood and day in day out with my 25" as a firewood seller. I have had mine for 5 years now and it still runs like new

Hi.wrangle.Just a heads up.I am a 64 year old timber faller,Fell for 40 years.been a stihl master tech for 18 years.When it comes to your 461 or 661 make sure it is not a (c) version.These are computerized saws.Every tech in the world thinks they can improve or hop up these saws.wrong, they can destroy your saw.The computer makes adjustments for everything out their just like your vehicle.Messing with ports and such just creates more computor problems.We put to highly modified husky 395s against a 661c the 661 out cut every time.stock.Reason being the computor automatically changes the carb settings for load and will lean the saw out for more power as needed without hurting the saw.Can not do that with a conventional saw.Yes guys are modifying these saws.you have to replace the flywheel, the ignition and the carb for the tune of 1000.00 dollars.Why mess with something that works better from the get go.Beats me.Luck Mcbain.

That is a little to much for a fire line saw kit compensate for a long day on the move. To much weight can wear you down quick you wanna be able to last all day and into the next. You want more water over to much parts. Crazy can tell this guy never really ran a saw on the line.

[@NDEfireONE]

That engine life not enough saw work done on the line. Unless your on a crew you'll get hotline experience and weight shouldn't even be a concern that's why a packtest is in place and so is PT. Extra (2)chains, a brick of bar nuts is what I call them, EClips, 2 spark plugs, extra pull cord, grease for the bearings, extra gas filter, filters. Don't worry about the weight if your on a crew because you will be out all day and on an Engine you will never be to far from the rigs. I have seen more engines fall trees and leave for type 2 crews to clean it up not cool as well as drop trees for tv or videos.

[@rx323bug]

a shame you dont have a fraction more room for a spare air filter element. a lot of people will jump to tweeking the mixture screw when a saw starts going down on power or running rough. a day of hard work can block a filter up and simply swapping in a new/clean one will have you back to full power in 30 seconds

[@ericansbro3968]

Cody have you thought of putting a line pack together for just sawyer work? I know another expense and another set of gear to drag along, but it would keep you from having to switch gear around. You could have your fire line pack, your Sawyer pack, and like you said in a previous video drop your bag off your fire line pack for when your working on the engine.

[@PLBL]

Hey Cody. I live in Cape Town South Africa and I'm training to become a volunteer wildfire fighter with our VWS services here. We often get bush fires in the Table Mountain Reserve and all around in the cape fold mountains during the dry summer (we are currently experiencing a drought). The erratic and strong coastal winds are also a huge factor. Our training is largely based on the American system since you are the leaders in the field. The large difference being that we don't use chainsaws as our mountains are mainly covered in Feinbos (a family of Bush only found here in the cape peninsula) the only trees and forests we have are alien pines which are largely being removed because of the drought. We therefore don't have the danger of snags which I hear is the biggest killer in America for firefighters? We have the same safety checks and 10 standard firefighting orders as you guys I think. It has been made apparent to me that whenever things go wrong, you can almost always trace the error back to a violation of one of these fire orders. For example, my ACL last weekend was telling me about the Knysna fire a few months ago (massive, and super destructive) and how 2 people in his unit died due to a crew being negligent with planning of safety zones and escape routes. I'm not sure if you've already done this but can please make a video where you talk about these safety procedures, checks and rules and relate them to your personal experiences. I would really be interested to know more about how you guys actually tackle wildfires in the forests and what sort of safety planning goes into it (escape routes, lookouts, safety zones, choosing where to fight etc). Also how you are constantly aware/looking for these these checks and situations and how it impacts your behavior on the line. Keep up the great work Cody! I really enjoy and appreciate your channel.

Glad to see you back in one piece, I can only imagine how hard that work is. I'm not a firefighter, but I do have go bags for work, I work as a carpenter and do a lot of onsite installing. I have several bags for various occasions, fortunately I don't have to worry about the weight of the bags, but I do have to make sure I have what I need. Working in downtown Tokyo means it can be much more than two hours to go to my shop and back and hardware stores are not common here, so I have to make sure that I have what I need, and so often I get asked to fix stuff that was never on the list of things to do in client's offices or homes, LOL, so being prepared and having a lot of stuff in small packages has really paid off for me. Almost every job I learn something new and adjust my go bags just a little bit. Cheers!

I've seen an older saw engine used to spin a 12 volt alternator (and a small 12 volt battery for base power and an inverter for 120 volts ) used to make a small power head that powered small work lights for night work and such. The motor is not under a lot of loading and runs well, and the easy to move power head is useful. Might you consider such a use for an older saw?

[@billquillin1952]

Thank you for your service! Great video!!

[@bryanchipps6572]

The "c" clip that holds the clutch on would be another good spare.when you go to pop it off to fix a clutch spring (which do break) the clip has a better than 50 percent chance of flying off and they're almost impossible to find,at that point you are down. Also a six or eight mm wrench for those nuts that they use to mount the dogs with,if one of those backs out on the case side it will gut a chain instantly. Just a thought sorry if it's not helpful

[@em4703]

Second that, I don't use a saw anywhere near that hard and have had filter issues a couple of times. Especially if you aren't always using fuel you mixed yourself.

[@Druid_Plow]

Not sure if you've cover this before. The engine bushings/mounts, and springs for handles. Not all models use them but many are actually very easy to change and also fairly inexpencive (at least in my area, $10-20usd for a full set for most saws) Of course some models require a lot of disassembly to change so it's not a one size fits all carry on item.

Would you prefer the full wrap handle on your smaller farm saw or do you feel its only critical on the larger saws? I always thought they got in the way but haven't used the full wrap for long.

[@AEON.]

I have a few coin/cash bank bags that zip and lock - I use a nobby re-usable zip tie / tie down - instead of a padlock - the bags are awesome - and I have a few zip up bags the same size from when I was in the US Army Infantry. I will not use them in the field though - they are digital camouflage - and I do not want to lose my gear in the field. The bank bags I sprayed both sides of them with a "reflector paint" on top of orange neon. Reflector paint works just like a reflector on almost any surface

[@jaredstroup1877]

I can get the "full wrap" handle in the midwest

[@jasonhamilton5756]

I'm not doing any crazy important stuff, but I feel a lot better about my work kit on my primary saw. I keep most of of that in the truck when I cut, but I'd not thought of a pilot bearing or clutch springs. Great advise Cody, thanks for the great video.

[@SolidStateH2O]

👍 On the clutch springs... had one break on a climbing saw(201T) up in a tree, so even at idle the clutch was engaged and the chain would spin. 😳That trucked the saw immediately out of commission! And for your particular model Wrangle I would suggest a set of oil and gas caps, lightweight but grounds the saw if lost or broke Best of luck!!

Hi I'm from a fire crew in black hills and I would add E-cleps and sprocket​'s we do Carry two saw kits a big one in the truck and a smaller one like the one you did just for the line gear.

Cody, thanks for your service. I would recommend adding a sprocket, sprocket washer and e clip to your saw parts kit. You thought bar nuts are hard to find if you lose them in the dirt, try finding a dropped e clip.
