Attaching silky

[swingdude]

sawpod...could never use anything else...hate reaching around....

Retractable key chain heavy duty might work

[TonyDarbyshire]

This may have been covered on another thread but I'm looking for ideas on how to attach the silky to harness incase of dropping? I've seen someone using a retractable dog lead...which isn't a bad idea but a bit bulky

Sawpod every time too.

Can't seem to keep my harness tidy at the best of times without dangling a silky as well.

I thought he was looking for something to attach it when using it after it's removed from the pod in case he drops it.

That was how I read it Peat.

 

We worked on a site once where absolutely no unsecured tools were allowed, so I cobbled a strop together with some starter cord.

 

I remember that day was a PITA.

My thoughts too hence why I mentioned that bike lock reminder then told it was STUPID .

Here is my simple setup using 2 small carabiners that i salvaged from broken break away cables off the chipper, a simple steel cored curly lead and a basic screw gate krab. It has worked very well for 3 years. Yes it does snag from time to time but so do the loops on the rear of my harness and my saw strop snags too so you simply get used to it and deal with it accordingly. There are times when i'm putting in the backcut on a limb with the silky and i have to swiftly re-holster the silky to use both hands to push the limb away in a given direction....this lead to me fumbling and sometimes dropping the saw. With my setup pictured i can simply drop the silky and retrieve it with no drama and NO it does not spring back up and kimbo slice my ass !! The udder pic shows how i carry my cambium saver on the rear of me harness, it was a stock krab that had a worn spring gate that would not return properly so i took the dremel to it and cut off the spring gate, this enables me to simply push the krab open to access the cambium saver.
