They're even more laborious when the design proves to be, shall we say, less than stellar. We won't mention a lot about old, second hand, dull pole saws. :D
Speaking of yard work, I'm still burnin' daylight....

This is a Remington chain saw on the end of a pole. They seemed to be the one with the good reviews. I ordered one from the zon, and the latch was broken that tightens up the slider. I called them for a return, and they first gave me the number for Remington. Called them, and they told me to keep the broken one, and they sent me a whole new replacement. Really nice, because now, I can keep one on the end of the pole, and keep the other off the pole for the ground work.
 
Dang! Went out to finish what I could before sundown, and was almost done. I had the water running in the yard when it hit. We just had an aftershock from yesterday's Ridgecrest quake. We are some 130 miles away, and just like yesterday, this one felt like a slow, easy, boat roll in a gentle swell. If it had been very close to us, it would have been a harder jolt.

Crazy. We have them every once in a great while here in Illinois. Very mild, but still an odd feeling.

Dubs, I strongly recommend using alcohol free gas in that puppy. The ethanol laced gasoline is hell on 2 cycle engines in general and more so on the small ones, like the polesaw engines. Ethanol gas killed my polesaw engine in less than a year, but I was using the hell out of it trimming up trees that had been neglected for 20 years. And since they recently raised the etoh limit to 15%, it's gonna kill the engines faster.

It's electric.

Sure does. Can't really see exactly where the blade is at either. Didn't quite finish, but got a lot done before it stormed.

Another 3 hours got her done. Looks so much better. All branches out of my cable/electric wire, plus the neighbors as well. Really opened it up. Should get more sun and rain now. Decent little pile of firewood too, mostly oak and black walnut. :thumbsup:

Just got back from out cabin which is probably close to 400 miles away from Ridgecrest . That quake shook our cabin gently but it lasted longer than most others that I've experienced. Crazy that an Earthquake can be felt so many miles away.

I'm in the market for some kind of edc pouch, some kind of organizer. Don't want it to be too large, I'd just use it to organize some necessities and to be able to switch packs easily (from work bag to backpack etc.). I've seen condor, maxpedition,... But I honestly have no idea. I'm quite new to the pouch thing.

Any hints or tips?
 
what kind of things? and how big are you thinking?
condor sidekick?
 
I have this happen a lot . Anyone else? Can't seem to get pic to post when this happens :confused:
