    What Non Essential Gear Do You Think Is Worth Owning?

    I almost cut one for the bucket truck last week, had to back into a steep driveway to chip brush, half a box of chips and an 8000 pound chipper behind it on a 15 degree hill, parking brake would not hold the truck, second time this year ive had this issue, bunch of chocks worked tho edit...

    hmm, maybe make soft shackles out of something like Zing it? i wouldn't use Dynaglide as its too strong and very thin, but maybe Zingit breaks at around the right force? I don't remember the spec off the top of my head

    They come with "dead eye" webbing straps that choke loops on the harness, no way to un-clip them, although that's not a bad idea, could easily put xsre carabiners on the straps to make them a quick release type setup

    I used to hate stuff on my shoulders toll I got used to it, some days if I don't have a big saw with me and I need the flexibility I will just take the suspenders off and let them hang behind me, they don't get in the way a whole lot actually

    I run the OG monkeybeaver suspenders on my treemotion, really saves when you have a 395 or 880 hanging on your hip they did just come out with the 2.0 suspenders, not sure what all the differences are as I haven't looked, but they are probably really nice

    use mine daily, for line clearance I usually have 2 poles, one with a hook and one with a saw, my saw also has a hook but you cant replace the legit hook when needed https://www.wesspur.com/SAW2294-jameson-wire-raising-tool?quantity=1&keywords=jameson&page=2

    ive found the braking effect stuff has tends to go un noticed when you fall long distances, from up to splat goes really fast! atleast you didnt get hurt!

    ok I miss understood you, I do agree with that 100% my point being, one may be more likely to do dumb stuff when safety equipment makes it "safe", these guys were cleaning gutters on a job I did a while back, they wouldnt get on the roof without dudeman holding the towstrap thing, why? because...

    dont forgot a small handheld pair of log tongs, I dont use them as much now but back when I had to manually load everything they were a lifesaver, I was also able to use one hand to grab and toss whole rounds, add in a pickeroon and its a wood flinging monster!

    im very protective about whats near my face lol, my face shield stays down unless im clear of any twigs and just hanging out for a few waiting on the crane to come back lucky for me, if my glasses ever do fall and get broken then its probably time I go get my prescription updated anyways

    What Non Essential Gear Do You Think Is Worth Owning?

    ive never had my glasses slide off my face from a lack of hooks maybe just me? even with my head upside down where my glasses pop off my nose, they still stay stuck to my head only like $20 shipped, they seem to last a good long while, stay adjusted once you set them, I even leave mine in when...

    here's another, these "riggers belts" are really sweet for saw pants, I leave the belt in mine 24/7, just saves trouble at the end of the day when you are hot and tired and dont feel like fiddling with a belt buckle, its the same buckle design as the treemotion evo uses, also the nylon is super...

    I have a feeling theres a good story involved here, probably even better after some beers around the camp fire!

    What Non Essential Gear Do You Think Is Worth Owning?

    they fit great, if I take my glasses off they are even better (they sit on my glasses and push them into my nose a little) for the price id buy them again, maybe the orange or yellow lenses as the silver is too dark sometimes I only put them down once a month or so depending on the day, I only...

    one thing I would actually like to add to the non essential list would be the protos sunglasses" they do fit over a pair of glasses but no longer function as safety glasses IMO, great for crane work where im constantly looking up and the sun is never in a good spot sorry for the extreme...

    Pfanner has a prescription insert for the sunglasses, I may get one made. currently I use the sunglass/safety glass insert slid over my glasses but it only blocks light, stuff still gets in my eyes pretty easily ive thought about contacts but ive also heard horror stories about contacts and...

    yes, I had the rope weight as some drag on the way down but thats it, the fall was about ~40ft, the actual landing impact was probably that of a 20-25ft fall, my feet hit first and slowed me down a little and I fell to my right side, landing on my 200t and my arm my zigzag wasnt one of the...
