The petzl pantin and crol foot and knee ascenders together with the zig zag is phenomenal on SRT, im 40 now, i took a long break from climbing after breaking both femur in a bike accident, and moving up to contract manager i did a lot less on tools, especially tree stuff, but ive decided to go self employed so doing a lot of tree work, and the petzl knee and foot ascender are a god send, you can get up very large trees in no time at all without breaking a sweat, i bought my 12 year old a petzl harness and its so self intuitive, even he can climb using them (without the tools of course).

How about attaching the ascender as you did but clip a small pulley to it, put the tail of your climb line into it then clip your foot ascender to the tail coming out of the pulley.... :) :) It won't be faster but it will be super easy ;)

Well obviously recommended practice would have been to have two hands on the saw especially as none of the cuts I saw in this video should have necessitated any one handed cutting. An alternative that I sometimes use when needing to make a cut to my left where work positioning is awkward is to use the saw left handed which although not good practice either is preferable to putting your arm above a running chain. I also do this if I want to cut and chuck a branch to my right. 🙈

I do most of my limbing and topping with it. I have an extra battery....but, rarely need it. The saw is light and balances really great.....make it so easy to handle. The Husky 540i is more powerful but is heavier and doesn't balance as well. Plus it costs twice as much. I give the Echo DCS2500T: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ !

This is an excellent training video to show the importance of side cuts, If it did peel onto your lanyard it wouldn't have been so bad as the top on the ground would have helped hold the weight but could have pushed back onto you a bit, but if higher up having only one attachment to the tree, that's where the real problem could have presented its self. I can never understand why anyone would climb and cut with only using a lanyard as I know many who do. You can climb a thousand trees but it only takes that one to end it all. I do love your humility and honesty friend.

Would a humboldt be essentially where you go in horizontal and then cut up towards it from the bottom as opposed to down towards it from the top?

Doesn’t mean he’s right, and I actually agree that probably would’ve been a better thing to do in this situation!

@@cornwalltreeworks7828 Yeah that's it, unrelated to this specifically but just for general practice if you do your angled cuts first you can potentially avoid overshooting the intended hinge depth too. With any real fibrous trees especially though I tend to just be quite aggressive with side cuts (butterfly cuts, above) and stick to conventional gobs; create the gob and then take out some hinge either side at the horizontal cut. Same theory as letterbox / bore to reduce the amount of hinge that needs to snap, just need to be aware of where the weight is in the top and if there's any side wind. Hard to gauge sizes on fisheye lenses, but if that's a 10/12" bar on that, for reference I'd be happy taking at least 2" out on both sides. Useful for barber-chair prone hardwoods too, leaning Ash leads not big enough for a dog-tooth can be a bugger for wanting to split out before the hinge goes.
