How many of you carry a knife up top?

I'm an orthopedic wreck due to thinking I could compete with pro motocross riders in the early 80's guys. Busted many bones and snapped the ACL in my right knee before accepting the truth that I couldn't.

 

So in order to still climb trees I have to wear ergonomic knee braces as well.

Mind you, so do my Salewas with carbon fibre Geckos![ATTACH]155668[/ATTACH]

Petzl cairb folding knife in right hand pocket, don't bother to take itout,been through the washing machine many times….. leatherman on back of harness, handy for gaff tightening, throwing at ground to get his attention:lol:, and shackles for rigging,

Would love a pair of Wessco's though! probably take 6 months to break in

[jomoco]

So you wear those over your trousers????

 

I guess seeing that happen to a co-worker would make one want to prevent it happening to you!!!

 

Yup! For pretty much my whole career.

[jomoco]

You can never be too cautious mate.

 

I carry blow up arm and leg splints in my tooltruck's main forestry med kit.

I carry a knife at all times when climbing and all the groundsmen that work with/for me carry a knife, IMO it's an important piece of safety equipment and I won't work without at least one in the tree and one on the deck

I tend to have a belt/pocket knife and either a neck or boot knife wherever I go. Two is one and one is none.

I always have a tiny Swiss Army knife with a little 30mm blade.

It has scissors, screw driver, tweasers and a thing for picking stuff , only knife I've ever needed.
