Reg on one handing a saw

[D Barry]

In France you can hire one for a few quid. No questions asked.

You can buy them in tescos here in Slovakia for 80€!

interesting thread and a contentious issue for sure.. for the record when I was learning everyone one handed, it was just how you did it. I knew how to one hand but didn't know when and where it was safer or more dangerous to do so really. Around about the time I was most confident (cocky) and just getting pretty decent at tree work I cut my arm with the chain on rundown after a kickback whilst blocking down a bendy pine rigging point, Just cutting thru from the back and pushing them off with the other hand. I learnt some sort of lesson and realised I wasnt as good as i thought i was.

 

Years later, I still one hand, but I have never come close to cutting myself since. I have a much better idea now of what I can and cant attempt one handed and when its the most sensible option or not.

 

There surely can be no sweeping statements about these things. The world is grey not black and white.
