A real man would be holding on with one hand and a 395 in the other. The only piece of rope in site would be from the saw to his belt loop on a pair of levi 501's, and of course not a harness in sight.

Great pics, pity the guy didn't have a 2nd tie in point when making this cut.

 

 

 

Jesus! So he didn't tie in for the cut ! I'm guilty of this too....If I was sat in that position, on that branch with the life-line placed away from the cut I wouldn't have bothered either.

 

Comments like this just create negativity and will put people off posting pictures. I have never studied anyone else’s pictures to that extent and if you see me posting comments and trying to score goals….SHOOT ME.

John, all i'm saying is that its a pity we havent yet achieved a culture in the UK of tieing in twice when using a chainsaw in the tree. I know they're are occasions when a single tie in point may be safer such as storm damage or hazardous removals. In all of the above pics a 2nd tie in point is easy to achieve.

 

As long as people post pics of obvious single tie when cutting in points i'll keep highlighting it for what its worth. If it helps save a climber's life its got to be a good thing. I'll leave it at that.

 

Great pics nevertheless.
