I use a Buck breakaway chainsaw lanyard girthed onto the saw and than clipped onto the harness with a locking biner. I have a non-locking biner on my saddle that I use if I'm clipping it up and I just clip it to one of the gear loops on the masterII that I use for straight up spike 'em up removals.

I use a non-locking biner, I find the motion of clipping and un-clipping it to be ackward for me. I am incredibly unflexible, espescially in my shoulders and I have always found it kind of ackward to reach back to the side to clip it on/off. Like B posted if there's any chance of it getting...

I find it faster than frigging around with clipping and un-clipping. If I'm climbing I'm usually ready for a nice little break by the time I need a fuel up so I don't think a little bit of idling makes much difference. I don't find the saw gets banged around much on a straight up and down...

The advantage to letting it hang imo is that if you are limbing up a conifer that's limbier than hell you can do the onehanded 'catch' like you describe and than just let the lanyard run through your fingers, no hanging/clipping onto and off of the saddle at all. Also you can leave it running.

I see. That part looks kind of clunky to me, maybe a smaller fastener if a fastener is desired there. I keep breakawayy lanyards on my 200's all the time. I don't usually ever swap out saws like you describe.

Why not girth the saw on and eliminate that screwlink?

It looks handy to me if you're constantly hanging the saw on the saddle. Conifers prevail here so more often than knot my saw just dangles below me. I do find my stock buck breakaway saw lanyard to be a pita if I do have to 'saddle' it. That looks like it'd be much easier to use. It may just...

Pics of your custom saw lanyard would be cool to see.

Ha. Best of luck with that. I've heard an Indian wedding can be quite an expense!
