Many of us think we know what we are doing with a chainsaw, but how many people do you see in the village that are wearing the proper safety gear? A recent flyer had Stihl chainsaw chaps at $109.00. You can get hard hats with face shield and hearing protection in a range of quality and pricing.
If you are planning to have a pro drop your trees, and you plan to cut the firewood yourself, think about it.
We don't have resident paramedics anymore, and the hospital is a bit of a drive.
One local skilled chainsaw operator had always just worn jeans, and never had a problem. He tried chaps for the first time last year - and they saved him from serious injury to his leg.
