If you want the bang for the buck go for this, excellent beam and loads of light, not the most durable but makes the night a day, promises a two hour of working time but on low mode it has lasted way longer and enough light for fast mountainbiking and any climbing Buy SingFire SF-544 CREE XM-L-T6 4-Mode 2500lm White LED Bicycle Light - Black (4 x 18650)

Yep, I definitely recognize that legs are in danger and the threat caused by swinging bar. I tried to avoid cutting on the same side where my supporting leg were so that there were always stem between my leg and bar, no good excuse I reckon. Also if I am blessed with more cases like that Ill be looking for PPE like trousers and etc.

Thanks guys, I have no protection trousers or anything like that due to the fact that I dont do this for job and couldnt afford them for this kind of assignment. About the light I started setting up at daylight, yes it´s only six hours a daylight there and were only to try out my kit and setup, then it went to full roaming thru canopy with saw because all went without a hitch (pun intended) =) Now Im desperately waiting more chances like this to have fun and train different methods. I have got into these treeclimbing tricks pretty well it seems, propably due to this forum =) and therefore were quite confident to try.

So I have never been up to tree with chainsaw and this was chance I couldnt slip thru my hands. My uncle had these two birches to be removed from leaning over his carage, not a big deal for pro but seemed to be good place to get my arb-hobby-virginity lost and kit tested. So I created overhead anchor to top of pine next to me to work SRT with lowerable baseanchor and also managed a light rigging anchor to another pine. Then started from down to top cut branches, rigged them down securely not to wreck the roof. Then rigged the stems down block by block with safe swing over the fence, pieces so light that my groundie could hold them barehanded. According to my smile this was propably the greatest day of my winter, first takedown ever and my hobby has given everythig I could ask for. Of course I made some mistakes and dumb cuts, including cutting trhu hinge of top and dropping it on my head (branches weigh more than I expected) but I tried to play safe and at the end of a day Im fine and pretty excited how it turned out.

Ropeman MK1 - Ascenders - Hardware I think, would tie it to my knee with bungee so no sitback

Jepp, currently have 30cm heat-shrinked dyneema sling in hose which is tight in lenght but gotta work these wider bumpers due to flopping you mentioned. happy to see such a living forum like this and this device is rocksolid idea. When I discovered it I immediately wanted to make one. I cant make my ropes and krabs, so gotta spare somewhere else =)

I am university student from Finland and got inspired into treeclimbing. Since I´ve been dumping money into treestuff and doing DdRT-rec-climbs, last weekend finally ordered Pantin and got ready to test my self-made RW-rip-off (sry Bingham, only for rec-cli use). Watercutted aluminium and tether is now rewamped from this loose cordandhose-thingy into stiffer one. Awesome hobby and I just had a little like-an-arrangement to remove little birch from upon my uncles garage, great lean but good upper anchorpoint in a pine next to it. Looking forward to have a nice try with real treework.
