Saw Pod

[Mark Bolam]

Not many people try them and go back to hanging a saw from their harness.

 

Wouldn't be without mine.

I did after the cost of 2 new ropes didn't warrant wearing it on my leg again.

Why did having the saw pod cause you to cut your rope?

[Mark Bolam]

You know what these newbies are like Rob, ropes all over the place like spaghetti. I think the Big Lad just got a bit confused.

No doubt because I am cack handed. I used to wear the pod on my right leg and run my ropes down the right hand side. On a number of occasions during changovers I have pulled my climb line to advance only to have the saw come out of the pod and cut into the rope. I ended up cutting the splices of 2 different ropes.

 

My fault entirely, but I cannot change. So I changed by not using it and went back to a scabbard on my harness. Not a design fault of the saw pod. But a design fault with me.

We've all got to start somewhere Mark!

It does seem to be a bit like marmite the sawpod! Love it or hate it... I've pulled the saw out pulling the rope up but not to the extent it cut into it...

 

 

If it does I may go back to a scabbard but until then my wee neoprene buddy will continue to live on my leg!

[Mark Bolam]

Horses for courses indeed Rob.

 

Rich uses a Sugoi, which has quite a large handle. I have caught my Zubat a few times, but never badly enough to cut my rope. There are a few cons, but the pros outweigh them for me.

 

Did you try it on your left leg Rich? Crossover draw stylee? Might appeal to your inner gangsta?
