Chainsaw Bungee advice

[TTRMike]

Hi all,

I'm new to climbing and I'm doing CS39 at the end of this month. I need a chainsaw bungee but I'm not sure what length to get:confused1:. I'm 6'3" tall. Any advice would be much appreciated:thumbup:

[Steve Bullman]

my advice would be to forget about the bungee lanyards and get a regular one

Cheers Steve. That might simplify things

i get on fine with the bungee ones that have the steel ring so you can shorten them for moving around the crown. they are cheap as chips from from any of the dealers on the side banners, or even your local saw shop.

I thought the bungee ones only come in one size? I only use bungee strops, cant get on with regular ones.

Other way for me, cant stand the bungies. Always feels like its pulling the saw back if you're cutting out far in front.

 

At 6'3" you will need a minimum 50" one though. Better a bit long than short in my experience.

i make my own,,,

 

have a new style of rope, it's brilliant

I get on fine with the bungee strop, and have a tool clip on my harness for hanging the saw closer to me.

 

Anyway at your height you shouldn't even need to climb trees!

 

Good luck with the test and welcome to Arbtalk.

After a while the bungee one lose their stretch anyway. I reckon i prefer the normal ones TBH.

Cheers all, From what I can tell, the static strops seem to be 50" and bungees tend to go up to 58". May be worth trying both.
