Do not see a Poll option here, but just curious if you ever use the chainsaw while alone. Alone meaning no human within eyesight, earshot, or both.
Only ever used the saw while other family was here, except in emergencies like downed tree across driveway. But I am falling behind on my projects, some of which count on taking logs out of our woods while the ground is still frozen. There is excellent cell reception here, but if I cannot use the phone that is no help.
A lot of people say no way! while many others say, Be extra careful. Most of what I need to do is low on the difficulty scale: cutting downed or felled trees to log length to carry them out.
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 36,000 people are injured by chainsaws annually. The average chainsaw injury requires 110 stitches.” pretty sobering.
