    I finally got a forestry helmet. While I was at it, I got a few wedges. I thought about making some wedges but when do I have the time? There was some assembly required on the helmet.

    Good call on the helmet. I had a dead limb 4" limb fall from 30 plus feet onto the top of my helmet while cutting. I felt the helmet webbing tighten up around my head and the wood bounced off onto the ground and I was no worse for the wear. Ever since I never cut without one.
