Why is it every time someone asks a question on here, someone who thinks they are so great seems to make the comment that "they should not climb"? Are they really THAT conceded?
I simply asked a question and now someone challenges my ability to climb. I can asure you I can climb and cut just fine.
I was not trying to be critical, nor to suggest that you couldn't climb. Please keep in mind that it was YOU that asked the question. I gave you a response that attempted to address the emotional reason for your question. You were concerned that you might drop the saw, I answered that it probably wouldn't be hurt if you did, and that if dropping things was a big concern, you might consider doing some introspection about your career path.
Since you seem to have drawn offense, I will elaborate on a logical basis.
If you have a lanyard on your hand saw,
it will likely get snagged on something. Since we frequently use the handsaw for extended reach situations where we cannot run the chainsaw one-handed, this would require that we have a rather long lanyard, so as to remain attached. When you return the lanyard to its scabbard, now you will have all that extra lanyard hanging around your waist and feet, potentially tying you up when you least expect it.
Furthermore, I presume that you would have a chainsaw lanyard as well. This sets you up for lost time in the tree when the two lanyards begin to get crossed with each other. Add to that little inconvenience the fact that a lanyard would probably need to be attached with light carabiners, which
would add to the complexity of attachments on your climbing saddle.
I routinely climb a tree with 10 nylon loopies and carabiners mounted on a rescue-8, a chainsaw with lanyard, a foot ascender, a hand ascender with a foot strap and bungee, an accessory cord with carabiners to hang things from my hand ascender (including myself), my buck strap with Bee line prussic and micro pulley, my climbing rope with Bee line prussic and micro pulley, and ... my handsaw with scabbard.
I cannot imagine the need for adding more complexity to all that equipment.
BTW: I suspect that you had intended to say "conceited". Conceded means that you have given up the conflict, which just isn't the sort of thing that folks do too often here at AS. "Conceited", as you have noticed, is a big problem.
Am I conceited? ... I prefer to think of it as "highly qualified" !
