Here goes. I went through all that NFS sawyer training certification stuff some 20 years ago and changed many things we do in the woods after that. I really, really did like that course. About 5 years ago we picked up a used 6x6 and again, this positively changed how we could do things to the trails we kept up.. Ya, these are related. We had been hiking in to start work but many trails had logging roads nearby and much reduced our packing in. After getting that machine, we found we could bring many tools along and get more work done instead of expending energy on the hike in..
In this photo you can see the "saw-box" which carries most items when operating gas fueled saws and string tools. It is strong to sit on and its supposed to be watertight but I drilled holes in its bottom to let moisture out. We commonly work when its snowing out. These use the same power heads for strings and saws. In it you can find.
Bar wenches and bar oil.
1 gallon mixed fuel and extra fuel mix oil.
multi tool set, crescent wrenches and screwdrivers (multi end type)
spare chains. chain cover and bar cleaning tool.
chain files and tree wedge kit.
Stings for the whacker, but when the 6x6 is along, we carry bulk reels to simply cut new strings from.
In the Dakine Builders
backpack in the sawyer first aid kit, earplugs and other items. When we hike in, we spare down the tools and throw them into this BP.
