my saw lanyard is just a short nylon loop runner and a biner. i don't like having it attached to my saddle while making cuts. i get ???? all the time about it. anybody else in the same boat?
I use a dog leash myself, already has a loop on one end and a snap on thye other. look for a longer one..
plus, lol, I keep a few on the truck, I've had to tie a few dogs up with them to keep from bombing them. handy in all kinds of ways..

bombing dogs is a highlight of the week, but i appreciate your compassion.
Yes, but I sometimes use a longer lanyard also, (2 on the same saw). When thinning a dense tree it is much better than fighting to get the saw through all the branches.8 inches! surely that means that you have to un clip the saw everytime you use it?
Ha, I lost my first climbing saw that way. Cut a small limbed spar about 12' long, I over cut the far side. When it tipped it snatched the saw from my hands. The piece happened to fall over a log on the ground which made one end bounce up and just happened to hit my saw like a bat hits a ball. The saw flew back as high as I was in slow motion, streaming bar oil and gas out of it.
Very short life that saw lived.
Now I us a piece of 1/2" rope spliced to my saddle and a small locking biner to fasten the saw with. Rather than letting it dangle I clip it at my hip when not using it. Some times it is better to just drop the saw and get my hand on the piece, dispose of it, then clip the saw to my side.
I don't understand the people who leave the saw dangling on a long lanyard while they are trying to move around in a tree.
