I keep meaning to try the fly. You and me have similar styles Butch so I tend to trust your opinions. I got this xtc spearmint chit that I want to throw in the trash. Just bought it. Its like climbing on a bungee cord.

The Fly makes a Tautline behave like a Blakes!!!

That saw could be useful for a bucket operator. Especially considering the new ANSI revision, which states a handsaw shall be carried by bucket operators.

I pack my handsaw when I'm trimming from a bucket. Is that an odd thing to do???

Over the last many years Ive been making every effort to NOT one hand a chainsaw. In a bucket the temptation is too great when you need to cut and toss something. Having a good sharp handsaw allows you to cut with one hand and hold the limb with the other.

I pack a hand saw and some corona hand pruners doing thinning jobs. Call me crazy, but I don't think you are. Hands saw faster on little limbs etc.

No hand pruner packed here, so far.

I don't think it is that much bigger than the hook on a traditional pruner head.
I always take a hand saw up in the bucket with me.

ANSI Z133-2012 8.1.19 page 26. Hand saws should be taken by the climber/aerial device operator while working aloft. Hand saws aloft shall either have a scabbard or be of the folding type that covers the cutting teeth when closed.

Yea, we need ANSI to tell us that, LOL.
It is also stated in rigging 8.14.18 " a hand saw shall be with a worker aloft to make or finish cuts."

It does seem like this would be a handy tool when working from the bucket. Pack a couple of poles, a chainsaw, and your good to go.
Here's a vid we made showing pretty much the same saw but now handle rotates to top.. Skip to 1:10 to get to the point.
