Expat now in Chapel Hill, NC by way of Calgary, Al
I weigh 140 in jeans and T. Bored and curious so I weighed myself dressed to climb this time of year - full PPE, chainsaw pants, saddle, lanyard and acabbard but without chainsaw and not counting the weight of the climbing line either - 165 pounds. Maybe it would be 5 less in summer.
How much extra do you guys haul up not including chainsaw?
 
in winter i way 200 with out chain saw.
in summer i way 180 with out saw. I lose weigh becouse i don't hit the gym as much in the summer and doing more cardio while working.

I like the winter to build more mass and then strip it down for the climbing season.
 
Do probably 80% of my climbing in the winter. I'm 150-155 in street clothes, I'd say with layers and gear going up in winter I'm probably adding another 15-20lbs tops. Couldn't get enough layers on today though, spent nearly 6 straight hours in a 90' cottonwood with a 60-70' spread pruning for 1" dead and cabling......it was 15 degrees with winds gusting 40-50mph. :-(
 
I've plumped right up this winter, I'm at 200, normally 185. With my gear now, I'd probably push 210.

I agree, Goodaking, its good to pack a few on in the winter, especially if you live in a cold area, and then drop it in the summer.
 
I don't drink but one soda every month or so...so I can't help you. Sorry. I'm 196 in street clothes and don't even want to think about what I weigh in full gear. I REALLY want to get back to 185lbs. Any suggestions besides the obvious. Feel like such a fatass.
 
The main factor about loosing weight is watching what you eat. Yes I know it's very hard to have a good diet, But if you set your mind to do it, it will get acomplished. Laying of off fried food, chips, soda and sweets makes a huge difference. Having grilled food, veggies, fruits and Lots of water will lead to weight loss. And of course theres more to al this. I gained a lot of weight when I stopped having a good diet, lacked of exercise and eating late. Now I'm in the process of loosing all that and some...

I went 'cold-turkey' about 6-7 years ago. It was a biatch but don't miss it now ... of course a little single-malt, straight-up, helps me get by, LOL.

Anyway, ~190lbs year-round = ~200lbs warm climb ... ~210lbs coldest wear (without 200t)

if weighted 196 i would be a machine.... hummm no i would look anorexic. whiz eat a sandwich and do some more pull ups, both will do more good than trying to lose a few pounds. are you climbing in the geezers?

I'm at 205lb, full gear I would say 212lb and that's w/a small saw ... I'm trying to cut down to 190lb before the SD comp

126 lbs.

Gear, boots, chainsaw pants, and soaking wet: 138 lbs.

I tiptoe through the tulip tree tips.
Instead of footlocking, I just tie in, wait for a strong breeze, and then jump.
I don't use a friction hitch - just drop my running end through an aluminum ring and that's enough to hold me in the tree.
If I need a bosun seat, I just slip both legs through one of the loops on my Sequoia.
I once got caught by a band of starving cannibals, but they threw me back.
I was in the top of a big sugar maple once, and a family of robins adopted me - tried shoving worms down my throat and everything.
I use Zing-It as a climbing line.

165 here. hanging off my saddle is, figure 8, 2 nylon slings, handsaw and scabbard, 12' lanyard with 2 carabiners and adjuster, accessory caribiner, cedaroth blood stopper pouch and a beeline i2i with micro pully and 2 carabiners. saddle and gear add about 12 pounds so geared up i weigh about 175lbs but with my climbsaw im looking at 185.

also remember guys, your rope can add up to 10 pounds extra to your overall weight.
