Oh GREAT! Now I'm going to have to figure out how to lash my Stihl onto my pack! Interesting story of desparation and survival. The man was lucky the saw didn't kick back though.

HaHa, yes that was good.

Maybe in 30 yrs. the 'Original F Klock Stihl Strap' will be known the world over like the Sierra Cup is today!
