I joined this group awhile back and received some great information regarding wood furnaces. Well, shortly after my post I purchased the following: I'm not really a brand type guy, I usually just use what works, so please don't knock me for the chainsaws that I have. I hear Sthil is the best, but I picked up everything below for $75 and it was all brand new. My elderly neighbor passed away and his wife offered it to me.
1. Safety Hat with Ear Protection
2. Husqvarna 355 Nascar Edition 18"
3. Jonsered CS 2150 Turbo 18"
Anyhow, I need advice on chainsawing trees. It is something that I really enjoy, but sadly enough my first tree was may last. I was about 60' and looked like the perfect tree for firewood. It had been struct by lightening half way up. Well it started off fine, but halfway through the tree kinda slipped off the base and just popped. The base slammed me in the chest and I basically woke up in the ER.
So I'm writing because I basically promised my wife and kids that I would seek advice and try to find someone to show me how to properly take down a tree.
