I dont use top handled saw when climbing or trimming.
Sure there may be more positing involved but tis worth not getting tendonitis.
Sure they come in handy when its cut and toss limbs all day or walking thru a trim job its nice to have a extra hand to hold onto with.
In order to get both hands on the wood I find I have to set my saw down quickly. That means it stays attached to me when cutting aloft. I dont like that at all and for this reason I use two handed saws.
I quickly engage my chain break and dump my saw onto its lanyard. I use a keychain carabiner to attach to my saddle and with a breaking strength less than 500 lbs. I always engage my chainbreak if I let my saw idle around my feet.
What techniques did you employ to ensure your saw dont stick to logs.?
