Chainsaw use - alone

[Wagtail]

If I died out on my property there would be no corpse to find. The coyotes would be feasting!

Here it would be the Tasmanian Devil.

They're a fantastic scavenger... and one of the reasons to find a lost bushwalker quickly, 'cause if they die out there there'll be nothing left to find.

Maybe a good reason to wear one of those big gaudy belt buckles. Engrave your name and DOB on the back. Something the coydogs can't swallow. Keep it shined up so it might catch the sun when the S&R helicopter passes over.

I'vde been cutting firewood since 1967...alone. I do leave word where I will be working but that will onlyi help after I've been gone at least a day. If I don't show up at coffee call in the monring, someone might come looking. Close calls? One, due to stupidity, Cutting down an old willow tree, made falling cuts but didn't look up. Big, as in about an 8" limb fell right in front of me about 3 feet away butt first.

Scariest was about a month ago. I'm 85 now so after about 2.5 hours work I dtake a coffee break sitting on a log. Stood up, took one step and a tree the land owner wanted to save fell landing right where I had been sitting. Almost brushed my back coming down. Examination showed it had been a sprout off the side of an old stump. I had been clearing brusdh around it - must have cut some kind of a prop limb. It did smash the clutch cover on the saw, a wonder it didn't totally smash the saw. I had to cut two rounds out of the tree to free up the saw.

You live dangerously my friend.

I chainsaw almost exclusively alone and fortunately have never had an issue. I do take full advantage of the bucking teeth though, which gives me a lot more control.
