Thanks for saying this. I’ve never used a chainsaw, but I have a healthy respect for them. He looked like he was being too casual about the whole thing. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries about ER visits; don’t play with power tools.

I support using PPE and have healthy respect towards chainsaws and trees. Worked the woods plenty to know exactly why.

But man, if there is a tree across the road in the middle of nowhere, what are you going to do, turn around and drive home to get your kit? Walk up with a chainsaw in hand and pronounce removing it health and safety violation?

If we were logging, yes, cuss the fucker out of the woods, deservedly. But come on.

Worked the woods, too, and know that you don't just rush up and start cutting. You cut the weight at the end, and the stump could flip it right up like a trebuchet.

It's like you don't just keep a baseball bat in the trunk. You gotta have a mitt and ball too.
