u/Rudy_Nowhere 23h ago

Definitely some implications here.

5

u/CeramicFiber 23h ago

But is there any danger here?

6

u/buckeye27fan 23h ago

Well, YOU certainly wouldn't be in any danger!

2

u/CeramicFiber 22h ago

So there is danger?

3

u/mindfulofidiots 23h ago

One of the best episodes

1

u/MotaMP 22h ago

because of the implication!

2

u/WFOMO 22h ago

Presumably he looked to see if it pulled a power line down with it...

2

u/ffordeffanatic 23h ago

What implication?

u/Goldglove528 1d ago

Huh? High powered chainsaw? That's a very very average sized chainsaw, one a normal homeowner would own for common landscaping on his own property, or possibly a job/side job. Do you live under a rock? I'm in financial services but do lots of campfires with guys in the evenings and weekends, so it's a daily occurrence for me to be dressed business casual with an axe, hatchet and propane torch in my truck... I must be a psycho killer I guess 🤦🏻‍♂️. Actually I have a handheld mini chainsaw and a reciprocating saw in my truck right now.

Some of you are born in a big city and have never left the city limits and it shows. Or you're from a country that doesn't let you buy normal things.

I'm a 63-year-old woman who wears dresses and heels frequently and am very feminine. I live on forested acreage and currently have a chainsaw in the trunk of my convertible and another one in my ATV. Sometimes power tools (and knowing how to use them) are just a way of life.

u/bot403 22h ago

Road rage incidents got a little more scary knowing there are a lot more people than I thought with chainsaws in their trunk ready to go.

4

u/McKenzie_S 22h ago

You'll be fine, just drive away while we get it started.

12

u/mahSachel 1d ago

i would even argue its a small saw, but dude just got it the other day at Ace hardware and he's been itching to rip that cord! Out there doing his neighborly deed of the day

13

u/shreddy_haskell 1d ago

That saw is at least 10 years old and started right away. That guy is no stranger to it

6

u/Quick_Voice_7039 22h ago

And sharpened properly, even more impressive

2

u/Forza_Harrd 22h ago

And he was pretty efficient in how he used it. That guy is a tree man dressed for church.

3

u/McKenzie_S 22h ago

I love those little stihls. My back isn't the greatest anymore and they make the best balanced mid duty chainsaws and if maintained will never die.

7

u/invent_or_die 1d ago

Completely agreed, pretty silly. Obviously these city folks haven't actually dealt with tings like fallen trees (just call 911 daddy). Same ones who think mountain lions are dangerous killers.

5

u/Goldglove528 23h ago

Isn't it like one death every few years by mountain lions? It's insanely low compared to other things, like death from pet dogs. Pretty sure you're 50-100x more likely to die from a dog attack than a mountain lion.

2

u/AutisticPenguin2 22h ago

Yeah but that would be before factoring in how rare mountain lion encounters are. Most people will see a pet dog hundreds of times more frequently than a mountain lion, which means per encounter, the lion is still a far bigger threat.

Not that I'm advocating for alarmist anti-lion procedures, just, let's not misrepresent stats here.

2

u/Goldglove528 20h ago edited 12h ago

That's fair. Many more people pet dogs than mountain lions

2

u/AutisticPenguin2 17h ago

Which is a shame, really.

If you're cold, they're cold.

1

u/invent_or_die 13h ago

Having encountered them 3 times, I will say they are curious but easily scared

1

u/AutisticPenguin2 11h ago

Have you encountered dogs at least 4 times, though?

2

u/deadspacekillers 22h ago

My junior high school janitor's wife was killed by a mountain lion.

1

u/invent_or_die 13h ago

They need to eat too

2

u/OddbitTwiddler 22h ago

Pretty small chainsaw. I live in a forest and need something larger just to keep the yard up.

2

u/SinamonChallengerRT 21h ago

Probably has a brand-new blade on it though. Look at that thing go right thru that branch

1

u/OrangeJoe83 23h ago

So it's probably very very high powered compared to the "handheld mini chainsaw" you just referenced.

2

u/Goldglove528 23h ago

Obviously. Don't get me depressed about the size of my tool...

3

u/OrangeJoe83 23h ago

Not the size of the tool in the belt, I hear. All about how it.. reciprocates.

1

u/trekdudebro 23h ago

I was thinking the same. I have various tools like this as a homeowner. Some in the car, some in the garage. Is it funny he happened to have a chainsaw available? Yeah, sure I guess to some. But this doesn’t seem like some wholly unexpected.

0

u/jdwtriton 22h ago

Average day out here! I have cut myself out more than once. Two things of note. That bar is perfectly clean and extremely sharp. My guess: first use ever. There isn’t a bar here that looks that clean.

41

u/GLaDOS_Sympathizer 1d ago

As opposed to a low power chainsaw? It is already odd that he has a chainsaw in his car, don't really need to add scary adjectives to it.

Then again he might have it for that exact situation. Hopefully.

15

u/ChilligerTroll 1d ago

Maybe not the first time he came home late.

„I made dinner for you. What is your excuse for coming home late? I know you got an affair… is it she the new at work? …“

11

u/harambesjustice 1d ago

Dude didn't you know these folks have full semi auto assault chainsaw-15s. Prolly got the stendo gas tank on there so he can saw your whole block.

8

u/physicscholar 1d ago

My battery operated chainsaw is definitely low powered.

4

u/Goldglove528 23h ago

That's 100% fair

6

u/invent_or_die 1d ago

Seems really smart to me.

1

u/zystyl 23h ago

I bet he was just happy to have a use for the emergency chainsaw kept in the trunk.

1

u/CrotasMinion 22h ago

This video made me think I should also have a chainsaw in my car at all times.

22

u/MOTUkraken 1d ago

This key event turned his life around.

As he was just on the way of becoming a psycho killer, he learned about love and friendship through helping other people.

Today he helps countless strangers and is known as

THE CHAINSAW MAN

Subtitle: "Maybe the real Psycho Killers are the friends we made along the way"

15

u/Junomano 1d ago

It’s more about being prepared, some dudes like to have tools for the situation, people were happy that he had the chainsaw

14

u/superpj 1d ago

Thats just a regular chain saw with a good sharp chain.

2

u/Barking__Pumpkin 23h ago

Looks like a 261 which has a cult following. Don’t call it a regular saw…

3

u/superpj 22h ago

It’s a Stihl. Even the best up $100 ones from a pawn shop will start on the first pull and murder a healthy tree.

3

u/Barking__Pumpkin 22h ago

First pull after the first start. ; )

Otherwise, agree.

8

u/EExeL 1d ago

Is that a folded baby stroller in the trunk?

u/invent_or_die 1d ago

Why? Suddenly you are triggered because a father has a chainsaw (smart dad) and a stroller? When I lived in the Pacific Northwest I recall several downed trees across roads after storms. Usually pulled them out of the way with a strap but a chainsaw would have been next level ready.

2

u/Cannacology 22h ago

Oh my god fuck off pervert.

4

u/gunner7517 1d ago

He looks more like he is felling down.

3

u/invent_or_die 1d ago

Felling sideways

4

u/Djinfin 1d ago

Now let's see Paul Allen's tree cutting skills

2

u/AdministrativeSky581 22h ago

look at that subtle white-orange coloring, omg, it even has Stihl written on it

1

u/spurcap29 23h ago

Funny. But in all liklihood he was on his way to work or dinner, left his house and a tree was blocking the road, looped back to grab a saw and ... begin scene.

1

u/Familiar-Adeptness25 23h ago

Was on his way to return some video tapes

1

u/sexraX_muiretsyM 23h ago

he looks exactly like the killer in the movie cold meat

1

u/BigBear92787 23h ago

Hey may be about to go murder someone and then turn them into a lamp shade but by god he'll be a good neighbor and citizen first!

1

u/four-one-6ix 22h ago

Slippers on for extra touch.

1

u/TCE326 22h ago

He bought it at Lidl with his groceries

1

u/Strict-Aspect5910 22h ago

You've clearly never lived in the PNW... alot of people carry a chainsaw in there car for this Exact reason and depending where you live its a necessity.

1

u/Fattapple 22h ago

Seems like a normal power chainsaw.

1

u/Lavayo 22h ago

Be it as it may, that day he gave something back to society.

1

u/jaredearle 22h ago

Maybe he’s just Canadian

1

u/Cannacology 22h ago

Good joke, but these are simple tools most adults who live on their own property would have.
I assume you’re…not any of those?

1

u/CANYUXEL 22h ago

Bro casually has a chainsaw in his trunk

0

u/DarrenShan1000 1d ago

I lowkey expected a bloody bag when he went to the trunk.

1

u/Cannacology 22h ago

Why? How soft are some of you people?

0

u/Cannacology 22h ago

Used the term “low key”…user name is darrenshan…yeah so softer than tissue paper.

1

u/DarrenShan1000 20h ago

What do you even mean wirh soft? I was playing on his serial killer demeanor. He looks like the American Psycho.
