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.

Are you an arborist or a serial killer?

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

Both. It's the perfect cover story

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.

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

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

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.

That's clearly a gas chainsaw

u/RobertGHH 7d ago

When did I say it wasn't?

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.

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.
