Who's cut themselves climbing!

[David Goss]

funny that ive just got a little bungee for mine, no springy enough to bounce back and cut anything, im wondering if its going to get caught much... time will tell

 

A few of people attach there silkys to harness i reckon

 

Could be painful that if you went to throw it and it sprung back at you!

[David Goss]

Not keen on the saw pods either, i find it tends to get in the way more than when its hanging from your harness but i suppose its just a preference thing.

saw pods for show.......strops for show

Jeez Butler - you like trying to start an argument without qualifying a single one of your opinions. Is it due to a diminished IQ? Or just knowledge?

had this thread in mind today while cutting a thick 25ft tall holly.

 

do you all cut using right and left hands? i was thinking this when my arms were crossed and switched hands.

 

i had a 3ft piece of rope on my silky, so as soon as i needed to grab the branch (to stop it falling into neighbouring property) i could just throw it over the next branch, made it much easier than in and out of the scabbard.

 

Always swap hands as crossing is when the accidents happen! Although I assume you mean with a chainsaw not a silky.

Post was meant to read...saw pods for show.....strops for a pro..... was a joke based on a line from a Guy Ritchie Film (Lock Stock) cant see how his could cause a argument.

When explained does not.................

Its a line we use a lot at work ever since a client commented on the fact that we where armed with loppers not chainsaws.....to which the reply was "Chainsaws for show......loppers for a pro". It just kind of works in all situations....."Transits for show....Ivecos for a pro" and so forth.

thats a pretty bad insult based on your overly quick assesment of the quote:thumbdown:

not got enough bounce bro even at full stretch

 

I hate sawpods too, find the catch every bit of epicormic, strop and climbing line catches it, just generally a pain.

 

Ive looped my silky belt holder clip through my harness and zip tied it on, saw and scabbard just clip on and off, suits me right!
