Chainsaw racking ideas for MRCS

[tommyh]

If this has already been touched on, forgive me, but I'm still debating my next harness purchase and was hoping yous guys that run a MRCS could shed some light on what racking ideas you've come up with for a saw mainly. I like the looks of the "transporter" and the dmm version (beefed up caritool). I currently run caritools on my TM, and like the big target. Thanks

I have transporters on my mcrs and it's a no look no brainer that shaves time and energy from from the work. I love it.

Shembiner

I'm sporting 2 transporters ...... one on each side. Have the shembiner for my other saddle. Nice saw hook but the trasporter offers a bit more and is easy to install.

I use a kong paddle biner, one hand on and off for smaller saws, using a standard sized lanyard ring. I can tape the gate open when I want it just as a hook and don't want to fiddle with the gate, like if I'm holding a larger rear-handle saw and want to hang it one handed, or on-and-off all the time limbing conifers.

To those who've tried the "shembiner"... does it flop over to the side as would a kong paddle? That bugs the HELL outta me. But as far as not having any of the webbing tunnels for mounting, you just mount to the main "belt" line (like on the cover of Sherrills 2017 master catalog) pics of your set ups would be awesome if possible

I had it in a webbing slot on both my saddles, never had a flopping issue.

The Shembiner can be installed with accessory cord on the MCRS. The hook has small holes in it that the cord will pass through. @Oroboros has a post somewhere with a pic. Not sure what Steve did.

The carabiner slot that I use is slightly loose.
Any flopping might be resolved with a couple rubber bands or electrical tape.
A rock climbing quickdraw rubber do-hickey would possibly work, too.

Paddle biner was mentioned and figured this was worth sharing.

I use a paddle biner for gear storage on my Onyx. It slots behind webbing, but flopped a lot. I added one of the little red rubber Beal biner traps and it adds enough friction to keep the biner's orientation.
