wirecore lanyard question

[skyhuck]

Back-up?

 

When on a stem, chogging down.

Oh. You mean when you have another saw in case you blunt the first one on your steel strop?

No, I mean I use my rope strop/lanyard round the stem, with my main line also round the stem, as "back-up" in the event of the strop/lanyard being cut.

A back-up saw.

Bless you both. I was being silly.

 

Although I rarely double up when using the Swedish.(That sounds like a rather dubious night-time activity)

 

Actually it's a rather fine Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon.

I love my Swedish Strop. Great for smashing through ivy, conifer and yes those beastly pops that require 2 clipped together.

FYI, those that have never tried it, a chainsaw tends to skim along rather than go through. Of course if one really wants to try it'll cut. A good ear will usually pick it though before the last strand goes.

When on really snotty ivy, I like the fact that it tends to lie in a straight line. It makes it much quicker to hack the ivy off with the 200 as I don't have to check the position of it every 2 seconds.

One can also bully it through lime epicormic, pigeon nests and squirrel dreys.

(It also has a rope prussik so can easily be cut in an emergency situation.)

I'm a little old school so prefer analogue systems to digital.

 

A softlink between a mechanical adjuster and wirecore flipline gets around this if people do profer ropegrabs etc.

 

On sappy trees i find a ropegrab much better as rope on rope can jam up

Only ever use wirecore. Mainline is wire too!

How does that work?
