Alta Representing in the 2021 NMA Calendar

Cute, but that couldn't even cut through a branch on some of the trees around my place...

I just carry a folding saw in my pack and can get through some reasonably sized trees pretty quick.

Might work for self-defense too!

I'm no chainsaw expert, but most of the guys out here are using 14-20" saws, with most of them running 16 or 18" bars. The 20" is just too much saw to ride with for most, and the 12-14" saws take to long to nibble through the larger logs out here in the PacNW.

I have a Stihl MS180 with a 16" bar and its ok. The chain tends to dull really fast, its kind of driving me crazy. I always have a spare sharp chain ready to swap out and file for giving it a quick sharpen.

Recently I was reading somewhere the MS180 chain gets dull fast because the chain is so small, both in length and width. I forget what the size is, but if I was buying a saw for trail clearing now, I'd be looking at the next larger chain size, whatever saw that might be.

I'm also hearing good things about the battery powered saws, guys are carrying an extra battery and claim to be getting a lot of work done. I'm a bit skeptical on that claim, but its coming from guys that sound like they know what they're talking about.

The home owner chain socks! Go to a good saw shop, (someone who buys chain on spool) and have them make you a few loops of a longer wearing chain. World's of difference.

I have a two-handed Katana version and love it.

Two handed Katana? I picture you riding through the brushy undergrowth like this:

Wow, that's a striking resemblance. LOL

Rather than going the chainsaw route, you should just replace your rear tire with one of these bad boys. Then you just back that 50hp electric buzz-saw up to that pesky log and show it who’s boss. Also excellent for traction and intimidating competitors at the starting line.
