Mr. Secretarb's first tree vid

[Secretarb]

 

Worth a watch just for the awesome way he catches the branches at the beginning

 

He had to explain to me why he wasn't his new spikes on this tree. I'm still none the wiser!

You don't wear spikes if the tree is not being removed.

Well that told me

 

I'm not a tree surgeon so I know nothing

His use of the saw is text book, very disciplined

 

(not like all the holding and cutting I do:blushing:)

I liked the catching branches. Did he change top handle during the vid different coloured strops lol.

 

Just a safety point at 2:37 and 4:09 he clips a running saw to the strop ring. Should the trigger get activated he will test the chainsaw rating of his trousers. Best case a new set of trousers worst case a lot of pain.

He is pleased with your comment

He puts the chain break on both times, so all good.

He looks a cautious climber so I can only presume he has checked his chainbreak on his brand new saw.

He says thank you for the safety tip. His leg hadn't dropped off so far.... But he will keep your advice in mind.

 

As for strops, I had one when he got me the wrong tea bags.
