1:48 wow, why is nobody talking about this?

That's smart

Nice video brother

Now do one with the same saw but do the cut from the tip of the bar.

What altitude did you exit at? My best friend has a stearman and I want to try this.

And is proven now in 2023 ..to the haters in comments its good idea.guys say they use xsre biners but there very strong 1000 pounds seems to much vs this method.

Chaps didn't wrap around tightly like pants do.ibwear the same clogger zeros ..thanks

Be real hard while in middle of climb to get that off. Never thought about it .but still better than none f I r sure

Way better than not wearing them no douhbt

Great video manthanks

Great video, well spoken and shown. Great mention about safety at the end. Thank you, Jim H. Portland

Great content! I was just looking for this kind of information and found it on your channel! Thank you so much for supporting those who are taking their first steps in arboriculture at the age of 66.5! 😃 🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦

Wonderful tree!

both scary and cute

I practically live in saw pants. That said chaps are definitely better then nothing for those who dont wanna spend 400$ per pair of pants

😆 Promo'SM

Good idea mate 👍stay safe 👍

cheers

Same setup I use but I didn't know there were rated zip ties.

Cool to see man. I've run zip ties in a similar way myself, but never broken them. So I've always wondered: will they really break? Cool to see

If you're making your secondary tie in point a breakaway lanyard you need to install a third system in case of the event of failure of your primary tie in (breaking or you or the groundie accidentally cuts it,)which would cause you to have your entire bodyweight on 3 zipties

I read about this and thought it was nuts but seeing you do it the way you do it makes total sense. Going to test it out, thanks. Subbed

This is incredibly useful!

Second one here my friend. Wow that’s awesome. Great tips and very well explained. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend. Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿, Amie. I subscribed to your channel 13days ago. Hope to see you around.

This is awesome bro! Thank you!

That WesSpur's pint glass is Tight ! LoL 🤣👍

How did you put the hole in your rope to accept the small retrieval carabiner

Yea, so not gonna wear the chaps ever again.

thanks, subbed

Am toren between this & a more traditional style bucket grapple. Not only for brush & logs where this Branch Manager would excell but for brush & smaller wood blocks where the more traditional grapple would excell . Perhaps switching between branch manager & a traditional bucket is the way to go.

Thank you for your great demo! I just bought a Stihl MSA 220 battery-powered saw. The sales guy said it would cut through chaps. I think that is the company line to avoid litigation. Chaps are better than no chaps, so I am getting a pair of good Stihl chaps.

Great idea! I used this after watching your video. Made me feel alot more comfortable up a dead tree. Thanks for sharing.

That's an interesting, creative idea. As a nonclimber, even I can understand why you'd want to disconnect from a collapsing tree! I am a sailor, and I've had a chance to use standard white zipties in the sun. To my surprise, they get very brittle after a year of sunlight, and anything you attach with them will be on borrowed time, often falling off at the most inconvenient time. You can buy black zipties that are UV resistant, to reduce that effect They will have the label 'UV resistant' on the packaging.

Great video

Beast mode

No if that saw is still running after the fibers it isn’t stopping. That’s your finger getting jerked off the trigger

I could see how in the right situation that could be an invaluable tool in a tree

I wonder how the Leatherman Raptors or the North American Rescue shears would do against chainsaw pants

where can I find break test reports for the pinto cinch? I was considering performing my own break tests but would be nice if I dont need to

So it’d be similar with a 500i running a 20” bar?

Great Idea. This is why I watch videos of other climbers. Thanks brother.

Wow. The chaps will move.

No link dude ??

I'll take my Ryan's Grapple any day over this one.

Good, that's how it's supposed to be. If I was president, I'd pass a law forcing everyone to shave.

I've noticed something on every video. No one and I mean NO ONE has shown WHEN to tie a alpine butterfly. I can only ASSUME webern the other end of the rope comes back to the ground, you make a alpine butterfly and run the other end through it and pull ALL THE ROPE until it cinches up onto your tie-in point (canopy)

Need recommendations on good pair of chaps, I just got a chainsaw and would like to buy a good pair

Thanks!

very instructional video, also I saw that kind of carabine whats the model or name of carabine

I watched a video about opening angles to reduce forces using redirects. Do you get these benefits without a basal anchor? If you only have a canopy anchor and redirects
