Lanyards??

[MasterBlaster]

Whatever, dude. Vernacular.

Jomoco, I think what you are describing is the whole name of the game for all of us.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Save using ones climb line for a speed line... Not a practice I would personally employ

 

[Tucker943]

What happens if you are injured in such a way that you dont have full mobility?

I'm not bashing your climbing or anything.....maybe just offering a suggestion that you outta look at the bigger picture. Being skilled and tough is awesome, but being critically injured can interfere with ones ability to just boogie back down the tree on their gaffs.

Take it or leave it I guess

How many times do you brush a strategic tree requiring precise branch placement with a handsaw guys?

I know there must be some that do it just to avoid one handing a chainsaw, saving it and it's gas for the wood?

[CurSedVoyce]

I will use a handsaw for that placement when I am way out on a limb and just need to remove the smaller stuff before I cut with a chainsaw. Mostly for balance sake or target proximity. If I am that far out limb walking it is just easier than starting a saw and catching the branches than with a one handed chainsaw. Safer in my mind also. Now if I feel well balanced, secured and standing on more secure wood... watch me place them with the 200T Or catch them with loop runners if I have any doubts.

After skimming the last couple of pages, I'd just like to point out that I am, in fact, much better than you guys.

 

[Bodean]

better at skimming?


flip lines, a lanyard goes on a chainsaw.
I'll never call it a lanyard.

[MasterBlaster]

Deva's correct. Lanyards hold things to keep them from being dropped.

 

[Burnham]

Baloney. That's a tether.

[pantheraba]

Mein Gott, mon...how do you do that so quickly?

Now THAT's a lanyard. I daresay it would be interesting to snap into that one.

 

[Chisel Tooth]

I was going to say something

 

[JIML]

I like 3 strand, cheap and it flips well. I have never had any luck flipping my climbing line when I use it as a lanyard.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I like the toughness of my Super Braid Plus, but it's been discontinued. Good thing I have plenty of it left.

 

[Burnham]

Mr. Burnham, you've taught me something. In fact, you've got me wondering how much energy and movement I have wasted in the past trying to stabilize myself. I guess its the simple things i often overlook.

Well, it's my pleasure, and learning from each other is one of the prime reasons we all spend time here, isn't it?

 

[FJR]

Deva's correct. Lanyards hold things to keep them from being dropped.

Isn't the lanyard keeping US from being dropped?!

Just messin' around, but I think it's just terminology and we all understand when either word is used.

 

[sotc]

True, but it always sounds weird to me

 

[woodworkingboy]

A lanyard is also the long cord used to fire a cannon.

 

[inztrees]

A halyard is the rope on a ladder (fyi)

 

[Bounce]

Lanyard, flipline, scare strap, buck strap, safety..... Did I miss one?

 

[OTGBOSTON]

'sissy strap'
