I use these chaps but I would like some chainsaw pants for days when I'm hiking and clearing windfall.

View the image, right click on it and select "copy image location".
If you start a photobucket account, they give you a handy image link with the img tags already in place. All you do is copy that link and paste it in the forum post.

Loving all the saw protection everyone here is rocking.
Good to see.

I just got caulks for 175$ and was done with it, I can also write them off for field work
I worked with a forester who convinced his kids that caulks would be the best boot to hike the west coast trail and at the end they agreed
my pro consists of 8% beer and a healthy fear of bleeding out in the woods.
but no one ever claimed i was really that smart.
The last time i operated a chainsaw after quaffing beers was…….. Never..
Beer for digging days. Coffee for cutting days.
Coffee for mornings of solid cutting, beers for afternoons of slats/putting shit together. Best of both worlds
sorry if my post came off serious.
i would obviously recommend everyone get training, use safety gear, don't consume drugs/alcohol, don't cut above shoulder height, carry a small first aid, etc, etc.
lol, awesome. i knew thats what you meant..;)
i would obviously recommend everyone get training, …
If anyone hears of a chainsaw course for recreational users, I'm interested.
I know NSMBA ran one a few years ago, and I heard that FVMBA was thinking about it for last year, but I'm not sure if it happened or not.
I did have a course about 30 years ago when I ran a saw for a couple of summers but I'm sure I could use a refresher.
I got funding to put 2 of our club members through saw training with the BC Forest Safety Council, but the course requires 6 participants minimum. Seeing as our guys were only available to take the course on a weekend (due to work) I tried to get other Island clubs on board but little to zero interest.
There were training sessions that ran during the week (for industry folk) so if you are able to participate mid-week it shouldn't be too hard to jump into a course.
Cost is around $650 for 2 days and is recognized by WorkSafeBC.
