saw strop failure

[treesuggs]

A first for me today after twenty years of spoiling trees, i dropped my saw onto my strop and when i went to pick it up again the saw had pinballed (target audience:001_tt2:) to the base of the tree leaving me with a saw strop that had come apart at the stitching. has any one else had this problem? confused1:

Dropped it a few times but never had it at the stitching, it's why I always tell Groundie not stand right under me

[treesuggs]

i'm not worried about the groundie , i could have damaged the saw

Some strops are designed to break under loading.

They are designed to break off before they pull you out of the tree if the saw gets stuck in the cut ! Had a few do it now even a few week old strop !! I always replace now about every 6-8 months... First three I had break were well over a year and half old .

Trick is not to drop the saw on your strop then, innit.

 

Actually, I now have a large caritool clip on each side of the harness and find this saves me a lot of hassle, a lot of energy and a bit of time.
