I never leave pegs. 1 I don't need the mental help from having a peg in the first place. 2. If I do slip I dont want a peg in the ribs etc and 3. They hang stuff up when rigging.:001_rolleyes:

 

You wouldnt need pegs to make you feel safe if you choked you mainline.:thumbup1:

 

I dont need pegs to make me feel safe, You've got to be tactful where you leave the pegs so nothing gets hung up, I like having a peg to take the weight off the spikes and much more comfortable for cutting, and i like to have my rigging block above a peg where poss, like some one said before the dangerous thing is slipping and falling not the pegs. more than one way to skin a badger.

Like the ones in your avatar?

 

:001_rolleyes: Everything has its use in the right place. I hear you on the rigging point placement. I just don't like having them on the stick. I always have the option of resting with the line choked off too. I guess its whatever gets the job done for you and everyone is different:001_smile: Andy makes a good point about doing what your employer wants. Good thing I'm self employed:thumbup1:

Exactly, that tree was on steep ground so when we felled the trunk it would have no chance of rolling, this was a unnecessary precaution though as the stick was so heavy it stayed still, can't be to careful though, even had a chain around the butt.

Unlikely if you leave pegs every few feet.

 

No thank you.

Pegs every few feet sounds like nightmare but Each to there own :)

Now that I didn't expect, I wasn't actually serious, you cant use anything but the grillons rope without taking it out of its CE mark and the safety elf's wont like that, at the moment its got a bit of imori in it and that's a tad fat making it harder to use.

 

So you are using Imori when you shouldn't be?

 

I'm telling!:)

I cant really understand how you would be in a situation where you would plough a 066 through your flip line? not accusing, just curious, I'm always super cautious when working with big saws in this situation.

if you knew the guy i used to work with, you would understand:laugh1:
