Useful tips and tricks

[Chris5128]

Whose got some usefull little tricks that make your life easier. For example using a bit of hose pipe to keep your tool clips from snagging on branches while climbing. I haven't been in the business for long so some of you more experienced guys must have the odd trick.

Fold each corner/side down on dumpy bags...sounds silly but lots of people don't do it, and it is really helpful!

I am sure you didn't mean for this thread to turn into the list of sarcastic comments it is going to do

 

here's my serious input: I got this idea from AT.

 

Thread a plastic carritool clip onto your harness, and tie the gate open with a cable tie to make a hook that you can hang your saw on whilst climbing!

works perfect for me.

When sweeping or raking on your own. Stand with a heel in two corners of a dumpy bag or other. With feet apart to keep the flat bit at the bottom tight, then rake/sweep between legs into bag.
