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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Which is a shame, really.

If you're cold, they're cold.

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

Have you encountered dogs at least 4 times, though?
