    Trail clearing

    Here's a spin off from Stuck In The Snow.

    Here what I've found works.

    I'm not sure if I can say it works but I carry a Poulan chainsaw. Anyone who has one understands, chuckle.

    I use an axe a fair bit. But not your average hardware store axe, rather a Sandvik 2 1/4 # Boys Axe. It has a 24" handle. Being Swedish the bit is narrow, so it slices. Most axes are too heavy for one handed use and have too wide a wedge. Fine for spitting wood, not so good for brush. It's kept sharp. I just learned a great sharpening trick . If you take a 250/1000 grit combination Japanese water stone and cut a piece off. They are soft, you can use an hacksaw. You have a finer, cheaper axe puck than the Gransfor one!

    I'll follow you down that nicely cleared trail.

    Nothing wrong with a Poulan Pro chainsaw! I have had the same one since 2010 and it has outlasted many more "professional" name brands! Fill caps, chains and bar are the only things I have ever had to replace! Still running strong!!!!
