DT: Great thread idea, fantastic insight to read.

Oooo the 911, so polarizing it seems. What's funny is that it wouldn't be, if we didn't have so many great options available. I agree with Skunk, I love it. I love its nimbleness. I cannot A/B it to a DF as I have never handled one unfortunately. But I do have a 1311 and it is indeed a powerhouse chopper, Dan and the boys hit a grand slam with that one. However, at the end of the day, I have found myself preferring to carry a combo of the 911 and a Silky Super Accel 210 folding saw for brush work. Any limb I come across that cannot be handled by that is going to need a more heavy duty option.

Ultimately I guess it really comes down to your unique application as to what fits you best. In a craphole situation I figure I'd be the luckiest man on earth to have an RMD paracord tied to the end of a branch
