Have the HSE finally seen sense on chainsaw trousers

[Rupe]

I don't get offended mate, and I knew you referring to your sentence!

Well most of it was supposed to be tongue in cheek.

 

 

 

 

Well I'm gonna disagree with you there, you try roping down every branch on a super dense leylandii while I cut and throw.

 

Whats the betterway?

 

Hmmmmmmm can i get back to you on that:sneaky2: Leylandi suck and in restricted drop zones are difficult to do without hold n cut.

 

In the hold n cut thread i did say i do it if there is no better way, just want to make it clear that we can often do things in an ineffceint unsafe manner because we feel it is quicker.

 

I've been there in my early days cutting and holding thinking its quicker cause i'm actually doing something rather than having to call for a rope. Or cutting in a poor postion because i think i'll get the job done quicker when all i'm really saving is minutes and putting myself at risk.

 

Now i have a little more experience I can predict how i'm going about a job and get myself into a better position, or call for that rope to be tied onto my line before i get to the piece i may of just hand held in small bits when i lacked experience.

 

I think we sometimes get to set in our ways and think the only way to get the job done is to keep moving always be cutting. I now take a little time and evaluate what i do, measure up what i'm about to get to. By actually being slower and thinking more i've found i actually get the job done quicker and i'm not as tired.
