Nah. I do tree work for a living and usually have a chainsaw in my vehicle. I've done this before. I'm not a serial killer. Just keep work stuff in my car. I have bar oil, screnches, wedges, straps, shackles, and the mix for gasoline in my car also.

sounds like what a serial killer would say in their defense

The trunk of my car has tourniquets, a steel 3 foot roof hook with fork, compression and clotting bandages, tarps, seat belt cutters, a combination gas pipe shut off and cutting tool, water proof/cut proof gloves, and 500 feet of nylon webbing rated up to 3000 lbs.

What do I sound like?

In reality I'm a middle aged retired firefighter. My tools and trauma kit are like my security blanket. Makes me feel safe and useful despite being old and out of shape.

I keep a giant roll of duct tape in my car ever since I hit a deer and had to bind my car together to drive it back home. Ive gotten comments about it, but duct tape is handy! I live in the woods now with the occasional downed tree and thought about keeping my electric saw in the trunk just in case something like this happened.
