I have a cheapo home depot hook attached to my 200t, that I use to hook to my saddle. I do this because the guy who taught me to climb told me theres always a chance a branch could snag the saw and if it were attached to my saddle with a long saw strap it could pull me outta the tree. On saturday I was climbing a cotton wood, and it happened. The tip of the bar got pinched and it took the saw down with it and I ended up smashing my hand on the tree trying to hold onto the saw. I've been wondering if I'd had a long saw strap if the branch would of went so far and let go of the saw. The saw is ok, the groundies tied it back on and I finshed up the tree. It just kinda got me wondering, if I'd had a long saw strap if everything woulda been ok, or would it have pulled me off the tree, I had both my climb line and lanyard in place, so it wouldn't have pulled me far if it would have at all. What do you think????
