srt harness

[Arran Turner]

Are there any other full body srt harness' besides the petzl sequoia?

 

Also does the full body take much weight off of your harness/back when hanging a saw off you?

Think you can get a chest piece for the TreeMotion. Hang large saws of your climbing line.

I wear the sequoia srt with the basic top when using a larger saw up the tree. The chest harness transfers the weight of the saw to your shoulders. It is so much more comfortable and even today with an 88 up the tree, I barely knew about it.

 

Hanging a saw from your rope is all well and good, but saw/harness interfaces are made to have a low breaking strain, just in case you get a saw stuck in falling timber etc.

I don't have a lot of experience with big saws in the tree. I had MS 361 in the tree this week and it kicked my butt! I bought suspenders (not for life support) for my Buckingham Viking saddle which I thought would help but they were very uncomfortable. Every time I cut water sprouts off I was Leaving stubs to hang the saw on. Dan you the man! 880 in the tree I have much respect for doing hanging that machine on your saddle!

To right mate I struggle with 660. Dan is a beast such a good climber at a young age.

Edelrid treecore has an SRT chest piece for it.

That's why you use a breakaway lanyard.

[Ewan Murray]

If its just to hold your harness up a brush cutter shoulder strap might help if connected tex to one of your d rings

[Dan Curtis]

That's why you use a breakaway lanyard.

 

Indeed, but for a standard top handled saw arrangement, there are three weak links. The saw ring, the lanyard and the tool loop on your harness.

 

I guess most people girth the strip to a big saw, removing the breakable ring, then clipping the saw to your rope removes another.

 

For me, redundancy is key, it's better to have all the options rather than remove them unnecessarily.

you still have it clipped to your harness , you just clip onto your d or hitch climber when its not in use and therefore the rope takes the weight.
