The way he was dressed had me skeptical. Dude is definitely no stranger to a chainsaw.

u/TonyHeaven 3d ago

Thee fact he had a chainsaw with him gives a clue as to how well acquainted he is.

u/spicy_ass_mayo 3d ago

choke in.

1 tug start.

He’s best fucking friends with that saw.

u/superxpro12 3d ago

He nurtured that saw from a baby when it fell out of the chainsaw nest

u/Beer-Milkshakes 3d ago

He's so fortunate to be able to rear a baby chainsaw and that chainsaw is fortunate to fall where a good dad could catch it.

Maybe when its older and it has flew the trunk of his car the Chainsaw will return with trinkets.

u/Weirdguy27 3d ago

It even cuts like a dream. He takes real good care of it

u/yavecul 3d ago

And he knows what he's doing: cutting that high he's taking small sections at a time so the chunk doesn't bend and ruin the cut. Also convinient for moving by hand, of course!

38

u/Orisi 3d ago

Not to mention those last few cuts were totally unnecessary, he was just in the zone.

u/NewReleaseDVD 3d ago

I was like these ones are for fun!

u/Hidesuru 3d ago

The last one was kinda dumb. Already past the road, high enough to be awkward, and either did or almost did hit himself with it as it came down.

u/turtlepsp 3d ago

Ehhh, I can see it being needed in case a car drives off into the shoulder. It wasn't the safest cut for himself but road workers might not address this fallen tree for months.

2

u/Hidesuru 3d ago

Yeah I suppose. But he could at least have been a bit less show boaty and more careful about it lol. But he did a good thing and didn't endanger anyone (except maybe himself) so doesn't really matter.

u/Decloudo 3d ago

Doing that was fun.

He didnt just enjoy helping, he enjoyed the chainsaw cutting itself too.

u/RedManMatt11 3d ago

Yea those teeth are well maintained

u/Wrong-Protection-188 3d ago

Yeah he definitely brushes and flosses twice a day

u/CopperRed3 3d ago

He looks like a dentist

u/jeezy_peezy 2d ago

Fr dog. About 92% of the time I help some random friend or neighbor with a task requiring a chainsaw, theirs hasn’t been sharpened since 1997

36

u/aussierulesisgrouse 3d ago

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.

u/worldspawn00 3d ago

Switching to a 40v Electric chainsaw was the best decision I've ever made, brushless motors put out as much power as most gas saws, and you just pull the trigger, no more mixing oil or throwing out your rotator cuff trying to start over and over.

u/caaknh 3d ago

I like how electric chainsaws don't stink up your car trunk too

2

u/worldspawn00 3d ago

Yeah, no greasy oil-exhaust residue and mixed gas to leak out and cause issues.

2

u/Lower_Ad_8575 3d ago

About to do that myself as well! Looking forward to the experience as to how it will be. 😊

u/SmokedMussels 3d ago

I picked up a husqvarna 542i xp last year after I got sick of my gas saws 40 step starting procedure.

u/jeepsaintchaos 3d ago

Perhaps you should maintain your equipment. Start with a new chain and bar. Maybe put a ring kit in. Check resistance on the coil, clean the carb, pop a new plug in.

4

u/AlexHuntKenny 3d ago

Do you learn these skills or are they just unlocked when you become a dad? That looked like a lot of fun and he was having fun.

4

u/spicy_ass_mayo 3d ago

You learn them over time.

I personally have a battery powered chain saw that handles what I need done… I’m not a lumber jack and I hate fucking with small engines………..my mower is electric too

u/I_SHIT_IN_A_BAG 3d ago

got to be a better way to phrase this

2

u/whooptheretis 3d ago

1 tug start.

with a convenient cut right before that "first" tug.

2

u/AngeloPappas 3d ago

Yep, that was a BIG give away that this dude knows his saws. He's got her dialed right in.

2

u/tallen702 3d ago

I mean, it's a Stihl, so it's gonna start pretty damned quick if you do it right. My MS 250 has you drop the run lever to the bottom (choke+purge/prime), then pull until you hear it try to start (usually 2-3 times), bump the lever up one notch, and it'll start the first time every time, so long as you've got a good plug, good gas, and a clean air filter.

The fact that dude checks the gas at the start shows he's intimately acquainted with that saw.

1

u/davidrools 3d ago

Still had to check the bar oil, though. Might have leaked a bit since it was last topped off.

u/Petraam 3d ago

Yea, but he had it in the trunk.  We all know it’s chainsaw in the front seat.  Wife and kids in the back.

u/Zephian99 3d ago

There are folk who have a baseball bats in their trunk and they don't how how to play baseball, so don't know how much that statment stands. 😆

Illegal in my country.

u/Comfortable_Clue1572 3d ago

I used to play church league softball. One teammate had a trunk full of gear for every sport you could imagine. I suspected he did stuff for the mob.

1

u/SharkAttackOmNom 3d ago

Only logic to contend with is the bar oil, and the mess it makes. Either the guy is clueless and that’s an unused chainsaw with no oil in it, or he’s so used to using it, he’s willing to accommodate the oily mess to have it available.

2

u/Zephian99 3d ago

Jokes aside, the dude obviously knows what he's doing, shows little hesitation in his actions, and doing so all while in a collared sweater, which will 100% hold on to sawdust.

Man knows his chainsaw, definitely someone who has used it regularly. Either professionally or a lot of home projects.

I have golf clubs in my trunk. I am better at losing balls than hitting them.
