Yea . It would go well with those new blue boots in another thread

2meter length of old climbing rope with a fishermans knot on both ends with karabiner.

 

1 karabiner on the tool ring on the t540xp and the other end clip on to the middle tool ring on the back of you're harness and large caritool on the right hand side of your harness ,, works for me

i use long lanyard anchored at the back in the middle then a carritool on either hip so i can clip either side, still a tangly pain in the ass though.

Ditch the lanyard altogether?

This is a new lanyard developed by a friend as long reach and stows nicely.

I've use improvised tool strops made out of climbing rope before. But am I right in thinking that in the event of a saw getting trapped in a cut it could potentially pull you out of the tree? Another climber told me of an instance where this has happened.

Prefer the bungee type strop myself.

Your attachment point on your harness is supposed to be weak and the point on the saw also. Think it was more of a problem when using back handled saws on old school harness's

Unless it is a new treemotion.

 

Unless I am mistaken the tool ring at the back is now Green and rated for life support. Could be a problem on bigger saws with no direct attachment point apart from the handle. Also a large saw it more likely to be taken with falling timber.
