Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This place is boring as chit... with Flave on vacation...

one of my all time favorites, an ancient Husky 380

Mention Flave in the title and two things are guaranteed to happen:

Sock puppets
Butt hurt


It’s fun to watch. LOL

Not familiar with that one.

I think Husky was a thing for you all long before us.

McCulloch and Homolight ruled here into the 80s.
Stihl had a small footprint, Husky and Jonnyred took off about 85.
Dad bought a 2100 around then, I preferred his Mac 700.
Still don't understand why he bought a 100cc saw to run a 20" bar cutting firewood.
But, it pulled it well.😉😉😉

I still run an old Mcculloch beast (55 or 60 ?) of a saw, big, heavy yellow bastard for firewood, but have newer a newer Husky, for property clean up.

Have you jerked off to Flaves picture in the bathroom yet today?

This is what ignoring Flave looks like. He's drawn to a Flave thread like a magnet.

Haha, you could offer the pissant a brick of .22lr, @ 4-6 times, what it cost you !

New 2 99s;
Good afternoon to you my friend, I hope that Friday goes smoothly and without incidents for you all.

Since this thread will wander as it's wont to do and since a fellow BC member started the chainsaw discussion.

As far as I can recall this is more or less what my first saw looked like, purchased in '81.



It was close to that for sure maybe a P228???

Was one of the first ones with electronic ignition which was nice.

Anyways as mentioned Electrolux bought them up along with Poulan a couple years after that and while there were some still sold under the Pioneer brand, it didn't last long.

We saw a fair few Homelite saws here sold as homeowner type saws, but for the most part it was either Husky or Stihl saws in the valley here, with the bigger shops selling both.

Not that we never see a McCulloch or used to, but not many still in use.

All the best to you all, back to regular programing whatever that might be and Merry Christmas.

I'll try to remember, to snap a pic of it, while I'm in the shop, skinning & butchering, on Sunday.

Iffn, I remember !

About 30 years ago...........I was falling alot and the saw rep came around and gave us 2 saws (McCulloughs) to try out for a few days, the boss was on a cat all day building trails, so he got a small little saw for cutting tops off, and I got a big McCullough.

I'm thinking around 80cc, it seemed ok in the 36" fir we were in, on day 2 the handle fell off in my hands while sawing in a tree lol, I never noticed the bolts falling out.

I gave it back to him in 2 pieces.

Thanks for taking it as intended. You are a good sport.

Hahaha GFY

I've got 3 10-10s, that still run good. Break one out once in awhile for
nostalgia sake.

After about 15 minutes of slow, vibrating like a jackhammer, and ear splitting
roar, nostalgia-be-damned. I fire up a Husky.

673,

An 800, or 805?

Dad had an 800.
With just a bit of better execution that saw would have put Mac in contention
with the European saws. It was a dandy saw, started good, ran fast, good power.
And it blew up under warranty, and again right after warranty.


A shame, if it had been done right, we might still be running American saws.

Not sure if that's important in your neighborhood, it is for me.

It's fine.

There weren't any European saws here, it was Pioneer, McCullough mostly, but maybe some others before my time.
Around here (all I know) a saw needs to run in any conditions,,, able to get parts for, sometimes get squished into the ground and survive lol, saws are super tough. I think the old boys from the 50's and 60's would of enjoyed running a modern Stihl or Husky. Echo is making strides in the saw World, great saw, I might try one as they are half the $$ of the others.

I have to agree with the OP... this place is less without Flave..... somebody needs to start a pissing match, liven things up

Heard Flave hung himself.

Rumors of Flave's demise are highly exaggerated.... he would never hang himself... a posse would certainly do it though...

Flave ded

RIP
