no brain protector, tied in around the limb and not the main body of the tree, no glasses and hopefuly he is not leaving it like that or I could add stub cuts.

Improper overhead TIP, no helmet, glasses or chainsaw protective pants....

But it looks like he's got a STIHL , So he should be alright. :cheers:

Chainsaw pants in a tree, uhhh, whatever. On the ground for sure, in a tree, no. Now for a funny question, how do you start a saw in the tree, is it
A) on the ground?
or is it
B) the rear handle between your legs deal?
I always wondered this, because drop starting a saw is such a no no (alledgedly).

What is he wearing , tree saddle or rock climbing gear ? Look at the rope hook-up to saddle ! No helmet , glasses, chaps - over done liontailing. More than 50% crown reduction, at least he gets points for smiling. Where's the crane ? Help I climbed up & I can't get down. You promised me a raise & I'm not going to finish. Show me the money. What is right with this picture ? I do wear bi-focals so forgive me !:monkey:

Why would you not wear SIP 5.1 chainsaw protective pants in the tree ?
They are designed for climbing arborist. They are item no. 30570 in the sherril catalog

They are as comfotable as jeans and wear like iron.

Link wouldn't work for me. I wear fallers pants that I cut the suspender buttons off and use a belt. This is because I use a saw on the ground as well. I just wear jeans if I am just climbing, never have cut my leg in a tree. If you get cut in tree it will be your hands, arms, face type of thing.

Not nessesarily true, I have had one climber cut into his chainsaw pants and know of at least 1 other guy who has done the same while in the tree. Funnily enough they were both canadians.

Here they are compulsory in the tree or on the ground. I have never cut my leg with a saw either, but then if we waited to get hurt before we used the right safety gear, we probably wouldnt live long.
