im surprised that they haven't made a shovel attachment yet, seeing it is one of the most used tools on the trail, but it does look like an awesome tool to have. it would be cool if you could then split that longer arm in half and use both pieces to attach a fence post digger on the end. i think it would be sick just to roll out to the trail and have the a shovel,saw,rake,pick,axe and fence post digger. just my opinion. even if it was like $300 for the whole package id be in. hope that they see this and think about it.

Good to see he used the Corona blade... It cuts better than anything else out there and lasts a really long time.... the attachment angle for the blade is a little too straight for optimal cutting but its good enough. Nice work.

record breaking time to cut a tree with a manual saw.

Thats pretty sweet... but it is 150 dollars for the short version! 200 for the long, and that just includes the McLeod head.... it seems a little overpriced, considering i could buy a new McLeod from a hardware store for 30 to 40 bucks... just my opinion
