climbing with big saws

[evo]

You’ve always seemed like a nice guy on the forums, original and funny.
But you haven’t transitioned from anything to anything, you’re an adult human male, you always will be.
You can sew a couple of floppy ears to the side of my head, it doesn’t make me a cocker spaniel, no matter if I say so or not.

Hey Mick go f off

I've transitioned from an asshole to a bigot

Teehehe

As far as I can tell no one is asking you to give up your rights, or harming you in any way, so why are you so opposed to people living their lives as they see fit?

Yep. My trusty TM s. light holds a big saw as well as any saddle I have ever flown..

And what would you know about climbing with big saws?

Heh I thought I deleted that sentence on that post. Oops. Been a rough day. Lost a parent yesterday. Mick I’ll try ears, that sounds fun.

No fancy techniques but the right harness makes a big difference. And I'm sure not all climbers will agree on "the right harness" for everyone.

A tophandle would pull my sequia down when I ran one years ago. My monkeybeaver 1.0 holds a 500i or 661 with 36" bar with no problem and no suspenders.

Another trick in conifer country that makes for more cutting is, reserved for when the logs are going to be firewood is;
Cut the first round and keep the saw in the severed cut
Step down to position for the next cut
Wiggle the bar out of the first and start the next
Chain brake on after the bar is buried
Push off the first cut

Repeat ALL the way down.
This keeps the weight of the saw in the wood and all the climber does is lower it down 16-18”

Many time on a smaller crew this keeps everyone moving and over all is very efficient as one or two groundies will have a hard time keeping the drop zone clear.

Sensei….

I think that long ago some Brit put up a video like you say, @evo... maybe called it double- block bucking or similar.

I haven’t opposed anyone’s lifestyle choice. People can live as they please.

I tell you what though, out of respect, bearing in mind Stump Sprout lost a parent yesterday, we will park the discussion for a bit.
It’ll pop up somewhere along the line I’m sure.

How generous of you. I guess my parent had to die for you to have some semblance of civility.

I never meant to derail any discussion. I will absolutely never be talking about this here. It’s ‘snunayabizness, really. Back to something relevant.

You do you sprouts, and fuck the naysayers. We got you

The only thing I'd add that hasn't been said is regarding the racking or anchor point of the saw. Where is yours? At your side? I always found that to be way off balance and really pulled at my saddle. I rack big saws at the rear and center of the saddle and this seems to help things feel, well, centered.

I can certainly see your point there. I’ve never tried climbing, with a saw hanging behind me, I feel like it would drag the back of my saddle down, I keep it on my right hip as usual, but I carry my rope bag on my left hip to balance it out. If I’m in the air with a big saw though, it almost always means I am hanging off a crane.
