Affordable and Reliable

Love my sequoia, I'm not a giant and it fits and supports well. If you're going ddrt and hanging big saws off it regularly then get the srt version and shoulder straps, otherwise its beautiful

Hmm.. I'm divided

Check your local pawn shops for saws and what not. I've bought most of my saws from one down the road from me. I got a 200t for $200 out the door, an ms361 for $225 in excellent condition and a 440 for $300. All of my other saws ran $100-$150.

I wouldn't go buying used climbing gear or anything, but u can find some great deals on saws, especially if you get to know the ppl working there. They call me every time they get a stihl or husky.

Got my MS200t for $200 too

A lot of boys at work have the treemotion harness by tefelberger or something, they all like it

See if anyone at that private company will let you try out their saddle(unless they're all climbing in those weaver nut crushers). I had a guy lend me his Edge saddle for a few hours and I got a good feel for it. Ended up with a Buckingham Empire which is almost the same just a different distributor.
Dr. P I'm kinda getting a flashback to the Plas going on here.
