I've seen those saws you use cut a few times.....they cut quicker than most chainsaws!


I recognize the name. Personally I never saw much future in that climbing event. You about kill yourself on the way up. And with just a tiny slip, you can finish yourself off on the way down!

They couldn't put enough sawdust at the bottom of the pole to cushion the fall of my fat butt!
