You just beat me to answer the question I needed confirmed...

Could anyone further clarify... So is ABR TreeStuff's own 'in house' group, or are they a completely independent company in their own right? Can't seem to find much info on them online.
 
I've wanted to try Tritech for a couple of years now. It'll definitely be on my next lanyard. I prefer a steel core-flipline over a lanyard on removals. I just feel more secure working a spar with a steel-core.
 
Watched the steel/wire core lanyard cutting videos many many times - though I don't think it can ever be watched enough.

On larger trunks - many times, I'll just take that extra second or two to reach round the back of the trunk, to feel where the lanyard is (just to make sure it isn't caught up on a stub/branch ect) before cutting with the saw.

Do people actually believe a steel-core will stop a fully revved chainsaw?

To me a steel-core was only ever a defense against handsaw nicks and times when a chainsaw is at low-rpm with no throttle being applied (such as when the chain is slowing down after completing a cut)
 
I would be curious whether a chainsaw pants leg around a stell core would be for effective at stopping the failure. If it's really as simple that then you would think smarter poeple than me would have tried a similar concept.
 
I had an Edge for a short period. I found it to be a really comfortable saddle. Little more bulk than I'm used to but it was a good trade-off. Too bad Sherrill uses that awful yellow on all their stuff. Has no one told them tree gear should only come in orange or black?
 
Yea i have been using the edge for just under 2 yrs now, and i think its incredibly comfortable, i think i might even get this again over the treemotion when I need to upgrade, i think the colors are kind of cool actually!
 
Okay TreeMotion users.... I am wondering if anyone has tried flipping their leg loops. Let me explain, as it comes you have to step through the leg loops whether they are buckled or not, but if you were to change the side the buckle is, having it on the inner leg rather than the outer, it would be much easier to put on. Why? Well the opening would be on the same side as the bridge...if you have an adjustable bride then you can open it way up and basically strap it on like a belt rather than stepping through it like a hula hoop. I haven't really thought this through, but it looks like it would be very easy to do. I wanted to check with others for opinions before I did anything. Is there a reason it is configured with the buckles on the wrong side of the lower D? Is it a safety thing?

I have mine set up with a few things I use often. Then I have a small pile of Redis and whatnot that stays in the bottom of my bag for when I think I need some extra stuff. Also, if I am doing something real bare bones I will have a mad max entering barter town moment and get rid of all my weapons, before heading into the fray.

Hey Mac! Could you please post a close up of your bridge(s) set-up? Thanks
