    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    It didn't make any rational sense , they were just freaked out by the incident in general, and needed to have the tree out of their yard ASAP. More "piece of mind" than rational though process. Finished up today, had a good day with the chipper and a borrowed dump truck yesterday, gave my f250...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    Funny how things come together for you (me) sometimes. Tuesday night I got a storm damage call. Julia had already taken off work Wednesday so I could go work on an ongoing tree job, so I was able to change plans and head to the property first thing in the morning. An approx 80 ft oak, about...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    Jaxson starts preschool in the fall, so I gain some extra work days by the time the leaves start blanketing the landscape. When is pittsburgh TCIA? If its late enough I might try to tie that in with a trip to cleveland to ride at Ray's mtb.

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    That was almost disturbing, almost. .. . I'm pretty busy going into august with family events and pending tree work, so probably early sept, hopefully it will start cooling off be then. I had a work delay, and a weather ad equipment delay that led to me finishing up mowing today, then had...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    Sawman, looks like about a 1.5 hr drive, not far at all. We could meet at the tree-0-cache near doylestown if you're interested, I've been itching to go find that tree. And I would love to try a treemotion :D

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    Thanks Raj, I will contact look into that and probably contact Luke about it. I just realized my avatar pic has my legs out just as I described, which is either impossible or highly uncomfortable in my new saddle, depending on the situation. I looked at removing the baton seat, and saw that...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    That was another one in the plus column for this saddle, when I switched up to my mid size saw (echo 450P) I did not notice any pulling or other discomfort from the saddle at all. I hardly new the heavier saw as on there till I moved and it swung around. I have not had to put my ms461 on it...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    Got some air time in the new saddle yesterday, and spent most of today in it. It's ok. Its comfortable enough that I realized how awful the my gaf pads are, but its not quite what I want. I'm not unhappy with my purchase, but if it cost more I'd be pissed and the next one I purchase will have...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    HA!! tried that route for quite a while, years ago. Strict diet of bar food and yuengling hardly did anything. The only thing that ever worked was sympathy weight, when Julia got pregnant I gained 10lbs. But I lost it a month later, and won 2nd place in our biggest loser challenge at work!

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    Sawman, I'm between allentown and reading (in Kutztown). I only work part time and have been busting my hump to keep up with the grass for my mowing clients, wimpering and grumbling as I drive past the tree crews in Allentown cleaning up storm damage. I need to get some advertising going for...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    I am, havent climbed with it yet, just hung in it at the shop. The other harnesses I've tried hinted to their issues right off the bat, and confirmed them later when climbing. So yes, I am happy with it.

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    I've finally bought a saddle. I was hoping to attend Jambo or some similar event and see more saddles in person, but that scheduling didn't work out. Pat (pigwot) even sent me his treeflex to try out, but I didn't like the leg loops on it. I think a frankenstein saddle with treeflex waist and...

    Do you notice the lack of a rope bridge on the pro gear?

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    :lol: too true I was hoping to go through treestuff for this, but I think you're right about going to a dealer and trying several. Merle, do you think maybe a little looser waist belt might help? I am thinking about adding suspenders anyway, as even my little 355T tries to pull the harness...

    Harness recommendation for boney hips?

    I have climbed 2 trees now in the new tribe onyx, and it was not the armchair comfort I was expecting. I hung from it and my current rock climbing harness back to back off a beam in my basement, and it is a whole different ballgame than my rock climbing harness. Moving up to a tree specific...
