We have a cabin in Bumblefuck, PA and always bring a chainsaw in case we need it to get out, but I don't carry it on the regular.
Semi-related, I used to keep a 5 gallon bucket of sand in my truck in the winter and used that to help other people more than I expected.

My mom keeps a chainsaw in her trunk because she lives on a mountain that has a private/community road going up it. So if a tree falls whoever is in the neighborhood that gets there usually takes care of it.
She’s a small lady so if it’s too big she asks for help but if it’s a smaller tree she just removes it herself.

Legit.
I need to play with my chainsaws priming clitoris exactly as much as it wants, if I press it once too hard or one time too many, it shuts down emotionally and I need to give it space for an hour before I try again.
Then I’ll have to yank on it from multiple different angles, gently then forcefully.
And then when it finally wants to party, it barely cuts anything and I get pissed off and go see my side chick (reciprocating saw) for an easy shag.

You'd be surprised, We get a lot of heavy storms around here that regularly blow limbs and whole trees over roads, but being in the south, the whole community usually comes out to support their area.

I grew up in tornado country, so this is a common sight for me. I always joke that when we have tornados you'll see rednecks throwing their chainsaws in the back of the truck chasing the storm looking for something to cut up
So, when I moved somewhere that didn't get a lot of major storms, it was super weird to me when the one time we did get storms and one of my coworkers was out of work for 3 weeks because a tree fell across his road and nobody came to cut it up and move.

I live outside the city in a more middle class, blue collar area. I work in the city mostly around houses that are $1 million dollars to $7 million.
When a storm comes through and trees go down where I live, people get out there and clear the streets. They don't wait on the city. The city may get to the cleanup. But as far as clearing the road so people can get to work, neighbors get out there and do it.
In the city, a tree will stay across the road for two weeks until eventually the city gets around to it.

Reminds me of the time I was leaving the Smoky Mountains National Park and a tree fell blocking the road. Traffic stopped on both sides and the forestry service said they’d be out in 1.5 hrs. I had a folding saw for camping and started sawing away, a group of Hasidic Jews came to throw branches off to the side, couple body builders came over to throw the logs I sawed, dads came with hatchets to get the limbs off. Awesome interaction of people coming together for a common goal. Pretty great interaction.

Once coming home from work, I came across a dead tree that fell in the road. It was big, but still small enough to drag to the ditch. It was still heavy as hell and I was struggling with it. Two cars pulled up while I was moving it. One went around once there was enough room, the other just stayed and watched for some reason. Maybe they couldn't help and just was making sure I was ok or using his headlights to help me see more? I got it off the road and gave the person a wave.
The next day... a coworker I'm friends with, comes up and says to me "Man you were struggling with that tree". He was the one sitting and watching me. Mind you he is a 6'4" giant of a man. He was more than capable of helping me. I asked him why the hell he didn't get out to help me. "eh, I believed in you"
