Chainsaw, what do you use for camp?

[takla1]

Why anyone would buy a chainsaw that is not a STIHL or a HUSKY is beyond me, same with a generator that is not a HONDA or a YAMAHA.

x2,,good recommendation.,,,I run a Yammie ef 2400 ie inverter generator for home power outages and hunting camp convenience..
great generator,that and the Stihl 361 has bases covered

My camp runs the batteries with a Honda, and the fire pit with a 455 rancher! Always had a honda generator, and always had a Stihl, or a Husky saw. Moosin

Rocky. I bet you also use a cup. And I do not mean for coffee. I cut a big gash in one of my work boots.

my chaps are built to cover my manhood. Some brands don't.

Cutting a toe or foot, probably won't bleed to death. Femoral, good chance of death.

used a big saw long enough to know that cutting pants, steel toed boots and eye protection are a must have..not optional

My brother in law takes his 2 kids, age 3 and 5 cutting firewood. Does not tell anyone where he is going. Absolutely refuses to wear chaps.

I told him that if he cuts his femoral (probably not in cell coverage either) I told him basically he is setting his kids up to die as well. They are not old enough to get in the truck to stay out of the elements etc.

I even got him a set of chaps. Still refuses. I told him I will not cut wood with him if he is gonna run saw unprotected.


I will not be trying to save his life from a cut artery and have his kids standing there watch daddy with a boo boo and Uncle could not save daddy

ive always disliked having to file my chains in the bush.I generally wait till I'm home to lock my chainsaw in my vice,perfect height and steady for slideing the file thru at the right angle.Ive seen some logging crumy's fitted with a vice on the back of their rigs for that reason.
Buying a few handles you can slip the files into are great to have with you as well.

thx 358! I'm running low on mix so was going to go down soon to the saw dealer in town here for cutting supplys ,Will see if they have them in stock.I usually sharpen if I have to on my tailgate but the Stihl skates around doing it that way hard to hold stihl.
That looks like it will solve the problem!any idea on cost for one of those units??
