Lets see your harness......

[Tucker943]

Hey that's what makes the world go round.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Looks a lot better than the massive conglomeration you had at the Redwood get-together, Stephen. You've refined your setup quite a bit in the last few years.

I'll never live that down!

I will say it again..... I was testing the Wraptor for hauling a lot of gear with me. I do a lot of rigging jobs. Being able to haul all that weight, place it and get to work was important with me

 

[bonner1040]

I am sure paul didnt have a problem with it, seeing as you dropped $2500 bucks on his ascender after it proved its mettle.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I can say that it amazes me, how I can tie and clip tons of gear and whatever saw to me and just get up there and do it. So much wear and tear on the body that just does not have to be!
Steve or Brian will evetually post that pic. I am sure of it. I have it on my other computer.

 

[arborworks1]

I don't have a pic of my setup. But I travel light, spare hitchclimber setup, a silky and a flipline. I am ordering a pouch for my flipline, I like that setup. As I just picked up a 12ft flipline.

Well you know I never climbed trees to make a living .I did spur some poles and climbed a lot of steel .I carried what I had to plus a hand line .With a groundie they could always fetch what I needed .

Thanks for the responses re the back loop/potential bucket attachment. I guess there's no good place to hook up a climbing saddle to the bucket, unless the saddle has suspenders/dorsal attachment.

 

[SkwerI]

The back loop is excellent for hanging your saddle on a nail or hook in the shop when you're not using it.

 

[sotc]

Some dudes damn near wanna take the truck.and chipper up with them on their saddle. I don't get it. Too heavy.

And then worry about how heavy their boots are

 

[woodworkingboy]

I know a guy like that, a climbing tool catalogue in motion. He regularly gets tangled up.

 

[Bermy]

I climb medium I guess, silky and felcos, 15' lanyard, two loop runners and two spare biners.
My B'fly has two bridges, I have used both of them during a climb on occasion.

In a bucket I put my lanyard on the bridge and use that...dunno if that's ok, but when there are NO rules for anyone to wear a harness in a bucket, at least I do something.
I worked all day on Thursday in a 60' lift with an operator, me fully kitted up, him in sneakers, no helmet, no harness...

 

[Al Smith]

I only assume as per OSHA everyone it a mechanized lift needs a fall arrest harness .Now how many who actually use them might be another story .

 

[bonner1040]

No OSHA in Tasmania...

 

[swingdude]

Or Barbados, I choose to wear PPE because I kow it is a good thing. It is my life after all and I am going to do my best to preserve it. If that means looking goofy and being hot so be it.

 

[pantheraba]

Good attitude...it's called discipline.

 

[bonner1040]

Truth be told I havent seen OSHA at the tops of any trees, I look out for myself. I abide by the 'rules of men' but I dont compromise my rules for anything.

 

[bonner1040]

 

[swingdude]

Nice and light just how I like it 223TREE. Don't think I carry all that stuff I put by my harness. That is just stuff I use in climbing, it definitely does not stay on my harness during a climb. The groundies take it from me after use. I like to travel light.

 

[bonner1040]

223tree is my alter ego!

It is a liger converted Buckingham Glide Deluxe with company colors. A petzl rope grab for a lanyard adjuster (got rid of the shunt lanyard) maybe 10' lanyard with biners.

I cary a 5mm Maxim loop runner and an extra triple locking biner, beyond that only purpose driven stuff and my bloodstopper.

The suspenders are a $19 set from lowes, (AWP brand?) and they are great! Slim, smooth thin and really comfortable, adjustable 3 point suspension with swivel snaps, I wont ever climb without them again after switching last year.

Silky Sugoi on the leg for every climb no matter what.

 

[swingdude]

We seem to be on the same page Bonner, but I have now replaced my sugoi with a zubat that I aquired from honey brothers a couple of weeks ago same length as the sugoi. Here is my quiver of saws. Two are exclusively used in palms and are hardly cleaned, the rest are rotated depending on what type of job I am doing. I cut so many different species of tree down here and certain saws work better than others. Sorry for the derail. I only have one at any time strapped to my right leg. I do tend to mix things up a bit, keeps things fresh. But I am definitely a minimalist when I climb. But I do have a love for hand saws.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Rigth tool for the job at hand is a good practice in my book

 

[SimplyArbor]

Ha, you're classic paul! I only have five handsaws :what: No pics, but I rock a tree motion. First aid/bloodstopper on back. Large caritool on right, small caritool on left. 17' lava lanyard daisy-chained with art positioner. 1 handsaw. I like to fly light.

 

[NickfromWI]

Here's mine basic...

Why the pearlink AND the swivel snap on the end of the lanyard? Just extra weight for throwing?

Nick Bonner, your camera stinks!!! Why is it all green?!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I thought it was underwater.
