That pocket is for felling wedges. The flap on bottom of it is to open for sawdust clean out.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

👍👍

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Nice gear Hank! Those chaps sure look good and I’m with ya on the helmet the Husq definitely looks built better but I do enjoy the knob style tensioner! Take care my friend.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks 👍

[@houndsmanone4563]

Hank, I just got the exact same Husqvarna Functional Hemet w/ ear protection. The helmet visor and mesh screen are a bear to figure out. I think I need to go back to 5th grade to learn how they connect. The assembly instructions are a piece of crap but can't allow frustration to take over. Okay my brother, take it easy. Enjoyed a full-watch. Later. Don 👍🏽🙂

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah i hear ya. Preciate Don.

[@mickburns5546]

I have been in the situation where I needed them once. Pretty scary but they work as advertised. One slip in forty years is pretty good ,huh? Worth every penny.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Wow! That's crazy. Hope I never need them. Glad they worked for you👍

[@toddoliver5679]

The opening in the bottom of the pocket is to empty out any sawdust that gets in

[@sydrider6023]

Always surprising to see people with no knowledge of an area north of the US border where the trees stumps are larger than your tractor.

[@hphillips7425]

I have done some research on the sizing and I am still confused. You said that you purchased the 36-38"what is your inseam if you were going to buy a pair of jeans? After the older helmet messed up the second time I would have to permanently attach it. If the wife seen it happening she would be laughing at how annoyed I get when equipment fails. Can you comment on the cost of the arborist type class you are taking?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I buy a 32" inseam. The class is a tree felling class. Cotontop3 teaches it. He's another KZbinr.

[@2010stoof]

Forester says it has 12 layers of protection. I'm confused

Great video! Thumbs up and subscribed. I just purchased the same chaps, and also had a bit of a problem with one of the snap buttons-it works, but with much effort! Anyway, for learning how to use a chainsaw (from one of the best and most experienced), check out “Buckin Billy Ray Smith”. Excellent tutorials on just about everything you need to know about every felling situation, plus bucking, splitting, sharpening, and using an ax, etc.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

I have an older version of those chaps and I have to agree, them suckers are hot. I use them in the fall and winter and my open calve chaos in the summer. What class are you going to? Did I miss something?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I'm going to take Cotontop3 class on how to fell trees. I'm really excited about it. It's on the 31st

nice

I think i would a little uncomfortable getting dressed on camera lol. You look like your a pro at it tho. Very snazzy chaps there Hank. I would think you get what you pay for and with the more money better the protection. We value our lives when we are working. Thanks again for sharing my friend.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Lol. Thanks 👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

AS far as chaps go, what's a leg or life worth, Pal! I had to drag mine down and see even what kind they were. They're Stihl, 6 ply wrap around. I've had them probably 5 or 6 years and got them because I was working for the outfit and got a good deal. They're heavy BUT my FEET weight more than you do and I have NO trouble with them while sawing. That's the LAST thing I worry about with my saw screaming away right in front of me. And 10/4 on the cooler weather for wood. I'll start right shortly myself. So listen to Gina and pet the doggie. You'll be glad you did! GBWYall!

Been there done that. Retired 28.5 year FF in Toronto, Canada. We don’t have heat like you do in Arkansas, but it does get hot and sticky up here. 2 hours of ripping a car apart on a highway, in a major city, and you are done.

I know this is a year old now, but you can just simply swap the two harness systems in your hard hats, they are typically all universal for replacement reasons.

I'm sure you'll like the chaps and husky Helmut alot better

[@davethomas543]

Been using those chaps for the last year. They are great and have held up really well. The fit is amazing once you adjust all the straps. Also FYI WorksafeBC is a for profit workers compensation system. They have ruined many many lives and usually leave injured workers to rot every chance they get. That is how they make their profit. Cheers

Wash your old pair. They dont work when dirty. The rear attachment is out of your way. Hard for guys to attach but easy to remove. Side connections are a nuisance because all tools are on your side and the chain saw is on most peoples right side.
