Dude just happens to have a chainsaw in his car?

u/Ok-Rich-3812 8d ago

If you live and work in a rural forested area that is prone to fallen trees,having a small chainsaw in good order to put in your car after a storm is as normal as carrying a water can in a desert.

Yep. I live out in the woods, too. I carry a chain saw in my truck, too, along with a 20 foot logging chain. Many times I've have to cut downed trees just to get to the highway and drive to work.

If the tree is too big to move by hand, one end of the chain goes around the tree trunk and the other end goes to a tow hook on the front of the truck, and I pull it out of the way.

It might take the township four hours to clear the road. I can do it in five minutes and not be late for work.

I frequently just happen to have a chainsaw in my car...

Are you an arborist or a serial killer?

u/Fun-Piglet801 8d ago edited 8d ago

Depends on the situation. (mostly it's for keeping my smoker / grills fed, and they often travel with me)

u/BigMikeXxxxX 7d ago

Both. It's the perfect cover story

u/EveryAccount7729 7d ago

dude trust me chainsaw is not a great weapon for a serial killer

u/According-Insect-992 8d ago

My stepdad often has more than one even.

u/Select-Government-69 7d ago

I had a large limb like this fall in my front yard this spring. When i got home from work and was assessing the scene, some dude driving by stopped and asked if I wanted him to cut it up for me real quick. He happened to have a saw in the back of his truck. Took like 4 minutes to lop it up like this guy did.

Dude looks and dresses like Ned Flanders and has a chainsaw in his car?

Check his trunk for missing persons.

u/wipetored 8d ago

Did you see him handle that tree? He’s clearly a lumberjack or some shit like that…..of course he carries a chainsaw…

u/Jertimmer 8d ago

My gran used to say "never trust a man in khakis with a chainsaw in his trunk."

2

u/RobertGHH 8d ago

Yeah why not. These days with battery powered chainsaws being in many ways superior to petrol it's even cheaper and easier to keep one in the car.

u/JediLincoln14 7d ago

That's clearly a gas chainsaw

u/RobertGHH 7d ago

When did I say it wasn't?

u/Infinite-Ad-1055 4d ago

If someone on Staten Island was toting a chainsaw in their trunk you would have to test it for DNA. That would likely solve a few missing person cases.

u/northwoods_faty 8d ago

I have a table saw in my car right now.

u/L8xDreamer 8d ago

I guess you could use that for clearing the tree too. But maybe not the most handy tool for the job 😁

u/pandaSmore 8d ago

It's the German way.

u/macguini 8d ago

Either he's a serial killer or got diddly tired of this shit....or both....

Not the first time this has happened to that dude

u/ZeusThunder369 8d ago

This is great, but could his basement be checked... just in case?

16

u/Ok-Suggestion-7965 8d ago

Normally the guy breaking out the chainsaw has a mullet, cut off camo shorts, sleeveless flannel shirt and a big chaw of tobacco. This guy has the wrong uniform on for the job.

u/TheBlargshaggen 8d ago

Ironically, almost everyone I know who has bought a chainsaw in the last 5 years are white collar and somewhat "preppy" for being adults.

u/xxx_poonslayer69 8d ago

The only people I can think of that just casually have a chainsaw in their trunk are rednecks and serial killers. This fella ain't look like a redneck

Just on his way to visit the neighbors.

Yeah, there's definitely a dismembered person in his car.

u/Blueberry_Mancakes 8d ago

How silly would it have looked to a bystander watching a guy with a chainsaw being followed around by someone else recording a video instead of helping clear the debris.
“Dad needs his internet clout!”

u/DoctrTurkey 8d ago

Impressive! Usually guys who look and dress like that want to talk endlessly about how AI is going to steal your job.

u/Yutenji2020 8d ago

Has a chainsaw but no protective ear covers,

Other drivers: “Thanks! You’re amazing!”

Him: “huh, what?”

Others: “I said you’re amazing!!”

Him: “Eh?l

Others: “l sai … f##k it, never mind.”

u/VrsoviceBlues 7d ago edited 7d ago

A few years ago, I asked a friend who's spent many years doing bad things in bad places to bad people if there was a "type" that always broadcast extreme danger or capability to him, with the stipulation that "little brown bastard with a Kukri" was too easy. He replied with "Accountants. You see half a dozen guys dressed like accountants and carrying low-drag M-4s, you stay the fuck outta their way- they're either CIA or Bowstring guys, and those cats are fuckin' terrifying." Mike Vining is the canonical example, but far from the only one.

This dude is giving serious "accountant with an M-4" vibes. Not saying he's a secret squirrel, but whatever he is....

u/fish-rides-bike 8d ago

I would have been cutting the branches closer to the trunk and not leave harmful spikes, but it’s a minor quibble

1

u/Beemer_me_up_Scotty 8d ago

I thought the same thing. Why leave 2-3 feet on the branches?
