I'm naive at this, how can we tell it's a bot? Trying to learn.... The dull chain statement is dead on.

I'm lucky I don't hardly get poison oak. I've cut timber that was 30" in diameter that you couldn't see the bark for 80ft through the poison oak vines, some maybe 2" in diameter. Point of interest, you guys all say "back chain." All the cutters here call it back barring. You can't cut...

Thanks for the feedback. Only old growth I've ever cut has been on private ground, or in a burn on government ground widening right of ways for safety. In both cases it has been relatively rare. The 3120 gets run every 2 to 5 years typically. Again, there are thousands of acres of old growth...

Fels Naptha laundry soap is the old standby. Fast Orange is good. Anything that cuts grease and oil. Wouldn't hurt to have it right on the job site and wash every hour if you are very allergic. Pretty miserable stuff.

hella rack We just had 8" of powder here so I'm leaving the bird feeders out overnight and indeed, the deer ( a regular group of 4) are helping themselves.

And also, imo, taking old growth on steep ground is no bueno

Nice to read ya @Gypo, and thanks for your perspective. Send some pics of what your up to in the woods! Regarding that question, goog says old trees store far more carbon than young trees and uptake more of it too compared to young trees. However a given size of young-tree forest will suck up...

Back chain!

30 years ago I traveled up to SC to work with a guy who I knew from Arboristsite. I had never encountered much PI and coming from Florida, I also was not familiar with most trees and vegetation losing their leaves in the winter. I climbed a removal covered with vine, all defoliated due to the...

Before seeing the other responses, my first thought was that the brand of saw isn't as important as learning how to keep the chain sharp. The best saw in the world won't cut with a dull chain. So therefore discussions like this are pointless and a waste of time.

Broad spectrum of good options already listed. I used to be highly reactive - go to the hospital reactive (western medicine thinking would call that allergic). I found a method of clearing "allergies" called NAET, Nambudribauds Allergy Elimination Technique. Now I can be around it some and...

Yep

I figured.

It’s a bot.

A good hand saw would be my recommendation.

I have not but I’ll try that on the next one.

Hey everyone, I am doing some basic yard work like pruning trees and cutting small branches. At first, I thought any chainsaw would be fine, but I learned quickly that picking the best chainsaw for cutting trees really makes a big difference, even for light work. I am not an expert, just a...

Wash within an hour, preferably less. I have not got it in years doing it that way. Other than my sisters friendly dog rubbing it on me.

Hot Hot water relieves the itch for a few hours, IME.
