Suspenders can be another useful ad- dition, especially when carrying heavy saws during removals. “When doing removals, a lot of arbor- ists like to use suspenders to distribute the weight of their heavy saw,” Rutemi- ller said. While not everyone prefers suspend- ers, they can reduce lower-back strain. “Suspenders may not be for everyone, but if you are constantly aloft with bigger chainsaws that constantly pull down the harness, you might want to look into it,” Leon-Espinosa said. Additional accessories — such as tool bags or tethers — can be added depend- ing on the work you do and your person- al style. Do not be afraid to experiment. “When an arborist dials in their saddle, they know exactly where their equip- ment is and move seamlessly through the tree,” Rutemiller said.
Smart weight distribution protects your back and keeps you balanced in the tree.
