I'll have to ask the logger who lives below me. But He uses the new Finnish stuff. He does have a a gin(SP) pole..
Not sure if I gor it right. We did some selective cut to thin our forest. 7 truck loads of timber and about that in Fur wood.

That's close enough for a pass.
I can tear apart and wrap a Molly Hogan in one inch wire rope, barehanded, no clamps.
Others can decide if this makes me a real man or not.
