    Up a tree


    Last week my Daughter had me out to her place to cut down some unwanted trees. They were mainly grey birch that were leaning towards the house and one poplar tree that was alongside the power line.

    For the poplar I attched a rope to help it fall the right way which it did.

    The picture is of an old man up the tree! [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

    Good on you for wearing the Husky chain say helmet with earl eye, head, and neck protection. I can't tell in the picture if you have the chaps.

    No chaps as they are too clumsy to wear when climbing. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

    I do have the proper set of pants though they are getting a little worn and ragged looking. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

    I don't need seatbelts, I'm only going to the store.

    Is the wear and tear on the leg protectiin due to age, and use in brush and wading though limbs ir has there been contact with a moving chain loop?

    I have never worn chaps and never hurt myself. I did put a couple gashes in my jeans pant leg last time out but missed the flesh. The new-in-the-box and unused Husky chaps WILL BE USED next time!!!

    The wear and tear is on the back parts, the leg bottoms and the pockets.

    The chain has never made contact. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

    Nothing like severing your femoral artery to spoil a day in the woods.
