One can be pretty fast when you're not working in accordance with some sort of industry standard.

None of this means I doubt Homebody's speed.
And do you guys really find a lot of young climbers who can't tie Blake's/tautline/2 over 1 under hitches?

This is more for companies where the owner is one of the lead climbers. They know what it takes to get the job done and to bring it in on time. I definitely wouldn't train a lesser experienced climber this technique unless he he really really proved he wants it...
 
Alright, think that takes care of all the jerkers. I'm purposely not posting the pics, yet, cause I want the ones paying attention to think about how they might do it just from reading the description. One thing this site is really good for is brain storming. Especially you guys on the fringe. Not really full time pros but just addicted to it. You're the ones that don't have all the bias and predudice that builds up after doing this for a long time. I can't even start to wrap my head around this single rope stuff. (so, tell me, how many times on a big climb do you take your total upper body weight to your arms while making minute adjustments to triangulate your hands free for cutting?) It never ceases to amaze me with what everybodies coming up with here. With the Europeans dominating the first decade of the 2000's, in both equipment design and competition, you guys are taking it back during this decade. Anyway, I gotta go get something done. I'm not going to deal with this for a couple of days. How bout cleaning up after yourselves...
 
With your comments Bob you certainly are growing on my...no BS is my style...I am aggressive aggressive and hate pussy footing and molly coodling folks ...I love prople hate excuses..my dad was thd same...good man RIP....interested what you got going on here with saw placement...lol

You too, hit the road. You guys just playen around and letting this thread go over your head. If you are any good with a chainsaw this will change your life. If you don't like any weight slung over your shoulder then you'll just keep on being mediocre...

As you wish Master.
 
I had to spend the evening putting lights on my trailer. That kept me from getting out the webbing and a shoulder pad to make up a saw sling. I've had plenty of windshield time to visualize my version

By the weekend I should have stitchery time

Royce, you talken about me? Can't figure you out; if you're with me or against me. Actually, nothing in thread is hype. Let's start with the fastest in the world taking apart a tree abiding my rules claim; all butts forward and advancing. Unless someone has discovered a better way to carry and handle a chainsaw than the method I use I think it has to be physically impossible for an ass swiper (swiping - reaching back to take your saw off the saddle and then franticly clipping your saw to get that hand free and back into play throwing the branch butt forward and advanced on the pile for easy retrieval by the ground crew) to put the saw away or drop it, and then retrieve it, for the next cut, let alone the time and fatigue it takes to restart the saw each time (all seconds add up to minutes, all movements during the course of the day add up and lead to fatigue). Oh, that old man thinks it's fatiguing to start the saw each time. Time is time, movement is movement, it's just that I don't need to do it so right off I'm ahead by so many seconds and I've eliminated that many movemets. Just getting that 8.6 pounds off your hip is worth trying this. The whole set up just flows. Clipped in short you just swipe to your back and it rides comfortably above your ass crack. You need to wiggle your body through some tight branches, just reach back and swing it round and lead it saw first in front of you. 40 years doing it this way, hundreds and hundreds of climbers around the world have seen me do this and to this very day I do not know of anyone that has taken me up on this. So, this time I've taken a different approach and that's what you are experiencing. This shit I have to deal with to just give you something and it's free. I take that back, nothing is free. You got to put up with this angry old man; and really, I'm not angry just pissed off. Yeah, you're right I am angry with LP. You would be too, Royce, even you. Now I remember his breaking point. He'd been having problems setting lines in the mornING so on his last tree he aced a 3.5 dia in red maple limb up sloping perfectly healthy and string perfectly in the crotch. I catch him starting to pull the string and ask what the issue was and he said he wanted to rethrow to an 8 in crotch 18 inches higher, he wasnt "comfortable" with the set. This was the last tree of the day and just before he told me he was quitting and going home because I made him "anxious and uncomfortable" but that he would be glad to rec climb with me anytime. Anyway I do admit I was very frustrated by this time of the day because he had put me behind schedule (sorry, I had put myself behind schedule because I had mismanaged him and he wasn't having fun; I should have read his posts because, I swear, everyone one of them has the word fun it, really, go look) so I did say, with attitude,that me and the 2 other guys would come over and hang on the rope with him and check the integrity of the branch. And, that's when it happened. He got this beat puppy look on his face and I really didn't think much of it cause up to this point I hadn't realized that I had done anything that any red blooded experienced contract climber put up with while making 500 bucks a day. Man, I thought I was over this. Tell you what, I'm going to take you up on that $300 dollar offer you made to me the other day. I went and read a bunch of your posts and see you're always offering to give people money. So just do it. Make it to Weber Tree Co, at least you'll be able to right it off. Do it...POB 118 Highlands, NC. You do it and I promise to never ever bring this up again...Bob Weber

Man, those pictures just make me want to jump a ship aND join you. I'll make you a deal. I'm the "deal" maker. I'll come over there and work for food, beer and smoke and, if I prove myself worthy, after I get myself over there, you pay the air fare (from Pittsburgh cause a gotta leave my dog with family cause I don't have any friends.). I'm serious. I'll even pay half the airfare. My life is my work so you have to keep me busy. I can see the sights from the trees...pm me if you'd consider it. If you don't want me to mess with your sphere I'll understand...ps I do volunteer work at the Selby Tropical Gardens in Sarasota...

Why is the saw being restarted every time?

Shocker.

Unfortunate.

You're a little too high strung for island life.

Thus the if you don't want me to mess with your sphere...
I can relax with the right people and I think he might be one of them.

You people are so predictable that I'm answering and owning everything before you write it and then you go and write it anyway.

How many people leave their saw running while clipped into the harness? I stand corrected.

Do you think that all the people you like to have around you are mentally healthy? You people keep telling me things I already know. I suppressed myself for the 10 years that lead up to the formation of what became know as ArborMaster Training (please don't sue me for using that name, ken), I hide myself for 18 years when I ran off to the mountains, and now I'm just going to be myself. I still have something to give to you people and the price is that you're going to have to put up with me (just wait til I restart my "hooking" thread. I am going to blow your minds). I'm using all of you and you're not letting me down. I'm branding myself. The Bob Weber (thanks Royce)...
 
With all that said, I think all you people commenting about my personality disorders are wasting everyone's time. None of you realize how monumental this can be to your climbing style. You've probably never seen it done like this before. This is like the first time I put a Gibbs cam on my lanyard in the mid 70's (Bridgeman, Tree Surgery, England) That day changed my life. Yes it has OSHA implications but not for self employed climbers. The greatest advantage for speed and comfort is keeping it clipped in short and and an employee must have it on the extended tether while running so, if dropped, the blade comes to rest below the feet. With all the views I know there are people out there thinking about it. Tom's out there concocting something on his sewing machine already. So, anyway, I know you won't be able to help yourself so keep it coming and as long as I'm riding the manic wave I'll keep coming back at you cause I'm a good learner and you've taught me well...


You all probably think I'm kidding, too...

Im green and it feels great! My hearts in it and I've learned so much in my limited climbs. Years of pipe fitting and rigging in hvy industry have helped, but it's all anew..

Bob that clip was hilarious...island life is SLOWWWW....lol
 
Dude, now I know for sure you're high strung because any other islanders would have dragged that SLOWWWW out a lot farther!

I tried The Bob's method and didn't like the strain on my neck and shoulder. I can't hang a saw on one side of my harness because it dislocates my backbone from my pelvis, so my saw is clipped to the back of my harness and hangs.
 
Can you just post a picture or video of what your talking about this threads pissing me off. Just show your little trick and move on
