Why do you fellas use a hand saw on take downs? (assuming so since wearing spikes) or is it just part of your kit and something not to be without :001_smile:

 

you still get small branches on take downs, great for epicormics. before my gekos i would always stick the silky between the leather straps in my spikes, but with the velcro straps on the gekos it fits on better. i should get some saw pod comission me thinks:001_tongue:

You need to run a ported one. Will out-cut a stock 260 with a 14in bar in smaller wood. Besides who would want to carry such a saw around a tree working on small timber?

 

 

 

 

 

As for the saw-pod. I'm not a fan. Guess I am too clumsy as I spent half of my time getting my silky tied to my rope to retrieve it from the ground. It is however comfortable and well concieved. The one I won in the raffle has been sent to a much appreciated home.
