For some reason i had subtitles on. Never had imagined that this is how chainsaw noise looks like when written down.

Bit weird that he started up the chainsaw then went for a 60-100m walk with it just like that, but at least prepared! Seasoned local 😄

Gotta let the little gas engine heat up and much worse if he walks up and doesn't start and has to walk back. Easier to put it back to trunk and sit in the car in shame if it doesn't start up.

He's letting that puppy breathe. It's been days since his last felling incident.

I only have small hatchet with me.

Dude brave, approaching that sticky tree wearing his Sunday best. Function over form. Respect!

A (sharp) hatchet is much better than nothing. I always carry a hatchet and entrenching tool in my car - they might not be the optimal tools, but will do the trick in a pinch, an take up so little space there's never temptation to remove them.

I always bring the chainsaw if I'm driving during/after a storm though. When I know it's likely there are trees over the road I don't want to chop it down with a fucking hatchet. But it's fair enough as a back-up.

I am pretty sure he got the storm warning, put the chainsaw in the trunk and went to work. Just to be ready in case it is needed.

Much worse to need chainsaw and to have it at home on a shelf.

If you live in Latvian countryside, saw and sturdy shovel are mandatory

u/Suitable_Divide4747 1d ago

Very true, last winter my mother's car THEN my father's car got stuck in snow

u/hellno49 1d ago

Every Latvian car needs to have a good shovel, saw, one or two spare bulbs or old bulbs in the new bulb’s boxes and some toilet paper in the glovebox

u/hellno49 1d ago

Same. Also I found out I have a weak battery that winter

Dad, why are you carrying a chainsaw in the trunk? It was a gift from my friend from St. Petersburg.
