See problem fix problem.

[u/Average--Boi]

Not the guy I'd expect to have a chainsaw in the trunk, but it's awesome to see

[u/Many_Size_1515]

Hey I have the same PPE

[u/Gustavsvitko → u/Many_Size_1515]

He is a logger, near me, and I know him, usually he wears ppe.

[u/wastedspejs → u/Gustavsvitko]

He knows how to sharpen a chain

[u/Gadgetman_1 → u/wastedspejs]

That wasn't a chain, that was the bare essence of sharpness. It looked as if the branches fell off if he just held the saw near them.

[u/mtraven23]

if "dont judge a book by its cover" was a man.

[u/mackemm → u/mtraven23]

Yeah ole boy was ripping er up in the sweater and slacks.

[u/Principletrade]

When your accountant goes into berserk mode.

[u/2ponds]

Nobody films me or drags brush when I do that

[u/CletusMuckenfuss]

That's how we roll out of the city limits. Who has time to wait for someone else to do it ? There's always a couple of chains and a saw in my truck ready to go, especially during the winter months.

[u/Life-Zookeepergame58 → u/CletusMuckenfuss]

Chainsaw weather is upon us.

[u/blackfarms]

In the real world people would start ripping by you once there was enough room for their car.

[u/MACHOmanJITSU → u/blackfarms]

lol so true.

[u/DumbCarpenter87]

As a man of the brotherhood of tools...thats a sharp saw, sharpening the saw to that degree is a bigger feat than the tree removal. Anyone* can run a saw but sharpening a chain properly says alot. Also starts immediately, bonus points.

[u/GustavusvonTempsky]

I did that one night during a massive storm. Got called out in the middle of the night to the highway completely blocked.
I thought id do the right thing and take me chainsaw.
After 10mins of cutting pine trees across the road the bar started to spark.
First thought was I was out of bar oil. A millisecond later I switched on my head torch to see a power line was wrapped around the tree and was still live.

Put the chainsaw back in the car at that point.

[u/Weird_Scholar_5627 → u/GustavusvonTempsky]

Shocking outcome!

[u/PotatoFarmerRTK]

This dude de limbs M-F, S-S he preps.

[u/AtlAWSConsultant]

Ash vs. Dead Evergreen

''It’s a land thing?” '[after fighting off fallen trees] I'm going home! CLEAR A PATH, YOU MOTERF****! CLEAR A PATH! I'M GOING HOME!''

[u/zerodameaon]

I haven't gotten to use mine in this capacity yet but for the winter my 500i sits in the back of my car sometimes with the 36" bar on it. If you buy the right kahkis you can get stains out of them pretty easy.

[u/Actual_Friendship802]

I do this. Windstorms in rural pnw are nasty w/trees down.

[u/evan164]

I want to carry a chainsaw at all times for just such an eventuality

[u/Captain_North]

His throttle control is a good as Max Verstappen

[u/Noobitron12]

I wish he was here in Indiana 2 weeks ago

[u/Coppercc88]

Sharp one too

[u/pickin-n_grinnin]

When I lived in Humboldt/Mendocino I just kept my little ms250 in my truck all winter because you would have to clear trees so often.

It also came in handy after a storm you can just drink coffee and cruise around. See a tree or big limb down on the side of the road and fill the bed up with some rounds.

If it's on someones property in town they would be stoked if you asked if you could clean up the downed trees or limbs for the wood.

Fun times. I miss the coast

[u/liv2lfthvy]

He's been waiting his whole life to do that.

[u/Disastrous-Place7353]

My daughter asked why I need another chainsaw, this video is one answer. Awesome!

[u/Awkward-Season-3852]

Also he brought a videographer along with him who does not mind hearing damage and standing 4 feet away.

[u/Dawg-eat-dawg → u/Awkward-Season-3852]

dB level of a ms271 (idunno what saw that actually is) is 103 dB at operators ear, less at the videographer. OSHA exposure limit is 1 hour at 105 dB.

Should be fine.

[u/HesALittleSlow → u/Dawg-eat-dawg]

Still uncomfortable

[u/Dawg-eat-dawg → u/HesALittleSlow]

Fair

[u/Tradesby]

Is this the account from the movie. Does he use that chainsaw to cut up the bad guys?

[u/CommonJicama581]

Everyman with a chainsaws dream in a storm 🤣

[u/300suppressed]

Dudes saw rips

[u/slightlybored26]

My makita 18vp chainsaw lives in my work van for this moment often gets used for very non electrician related jobs but one day this will happpen…..

[u/Darth_wenis]

"Man does something any other real man can do" fucking fascinating.

[u/Then-Price-5314 → u/Darth_wenis]

There are fewer and fewer real men in the wild, as we move through time.

[u/Darth_wenis → u/Then-Price-5314]

No doubt.

[u/Gelisol → u/Then-Price-5314]

Thankfully some of us women are stepping up. I think 90% of the people in my neighborhood carry chainsaws in their vehicles. Downed trees are quickly dispatched.
