Pro tip: I stopped climbing with a handsaw in my belt and my shoulders thank me
Used to deadwood a whole silver maple from the canopy with a 14 inch Corona hooked on my harness. Felt handy until a limb walk at a client's place in Boise left a 3 inch gash in my forearm pad. That was 8 months ago and I still have the scar. Switched to a Silky Zubat on a lanyard plus a folding saw on my leg. Now I make one climb, take the polesaw to the low stuff from the ground first, and save the chainsaw for anything over 4 inches. Cut my time on a 60 foot ash by almost 40 minutes. Anyone else carry two saws or is that just me overthinking it?

Skip the leg saw and hang the folding one off your saddle instead, keeps your hips clear on limb walks.
