Leg protection in a tree.

Here is a video of just "nicking" the other leg of the pants with the saw.

Try right-clicking on the file and "Save target as.."
Saveit on your desktop and double-click.
I made something wrong in the uploading of the files.

Hi Tom
No, I didn´t misunderstand, the crew mainly work with ground line clearance and occationally climb. All the cuts in the pants have happened on ground thanks God. Most of the cuts happen when shrubbing in bad terrain.
Maybe the statistic is on your side and there actually is less chance of cutting into body parts when using a saw in a tree, but the consequenses of doing so - having to be rescued by a groundsman and all (messy job with all the blood) makes it good sense to use pro in a tree.
Living and working in Norway has the benefit of not being exposed to overheating so I can´t have an opinion on that besides if you wear jeans in a tree they are just as warm as modern pro pants.
Don´t want to be a wise guy, just want you all to stay as safe as possible (and in one piece)
Cheers

I wear my SIP's everyday. I climb in Fl. When it's hot it's just hot, nothing you can do except drink plenty of water. On the blue jean angle I have found that they are hotter than my SIP's. I had to do a walk thru with a client last summer and just put on a pair of jeans and I was hotter just walking around than I was on any day climbing in the SIP's.

Thanks for the videos Oskar. The "Save target as..." did the trick, but I had to change the file extension afterwards to .mov, because TreeBuzz always downloads things as .php for some reason.
 
I'm with Scotty. SIP's every day. Sure it is hot some times but it is better then jeans. I don't imagine any big contractors will be offering SIP's or similar to their employees in places like Oregon. I feel bad for the Asplund type guys. Climbing in chaps would seem like a hazard in of itself.
 
ha, you have no idea rocks and trees, some say its well worth the money though when you consider the price of stitches and the amount of time you may be out of work, i say know your cut before you cut and you should be fine, but that doesnt apply to everyone
 
I just ordered a pair of the Pfanners a few days ago and am looking forward to trying them next week. I'll let you guys know how they perform in our lovely northwest winter weather.
