Same thing here. The main reason I do spikeless prunes is to try and carve a little niche out with the uber-green crowd. Most have responded quite well to it but there are just as many who say, "You can use the hooks if ya want, I don't care." There's only a handful of companies that even wear hardhats here as well. Lotsa rednecks w/ chainsaws in this town. Since I cannot yet afford to roll up with a half mil in equipment and look big time I do what I can to set myself apart, no spikes on prunes and hardhats on all the time. People respond to it.
they makin' saw proof levi s now or outa must be climbing in chainsaw chaps. Not many guys can handle that.
"Standard year round wear over here Dave. Us tough Aussies aren't afraid to sweat a little....
And Aussie girls make us shower before contact!
Climbing in chaps is just not fun......"
BUT GIRLS IN CHAPS ARE

Found this out the hard way today...I hear ya' Stihl Rockin' on those cottonwoods. Here in New England, Black Locusts have a similar deep bark, and thorns to boot. Using a flip line to inch your way up is almost impossible as you'll usually snag something on the back side of the trunk. Better to get a throwing ball up into a U-shape crotch and body thrust up.
An additonal note on blue gums (eucalyptus) is the spiral grain and thick, heavy gum. No matter how you make your cuts, the branches always seem to rotate off rather then break clean, making for some interesting scenarios when working over roofs and wires.
