Hi JimL, I`m trying to picture how you make the backcuts without using the handlebar, do you hold only the rear handle? As far as limbing, don`t you place the bar on the opposite side of the bole from your body, preventing the bar from having a chance to kick into your leg or something. If this is how you do it, the half wrap is all you need. Full wraps are more commonly used by the guys out west who work on big timber on steep terrain who make Humboldt cuts, gives them something to hold onto when they finish the face cut on the "off" side.
