But have you seen Stryken's lanyard ... 5/8 trawler CABLE.
Who'd like to see if cutting through is possible and trash a chain trying.
Stryken, got an old chain with little tooth left, sharpen the chain up and try cut thru a tensioned piece of trawler cable ... see what happens.
Also, maybe they can start to make lanyards out of the same material as chainsaw pants. You know those synthetic slings we use with lifting, but the inside has chainclogging stuff, maybe that's cut proof then.
also, Stryken doesn't do changeovers for branches, pretty much up and down and branches get cut off. Probability of kicking out is way lower than climbing palms, I reckon you'd get gut scraped and snagged ... perhaps shish kabob'd on any stubs left (flush cuts way to go).
Now here's a video of Yanks pole climb ...
could have been shot in Canada though ... notice they go up and down, no belay or safety. Notice how even on such a smooth pole you have to manipulate yourself to come down fast. If that were a rough ole 100' fir with stubs you'd get caught for sure, maybe Stryken can demo that too.
