Swashbuckle Safely

 None of us are Errol Flynn.  Use safe techniques when running your saws. Make a plan for every tree. Wear your protective gear. Start your bore cuts with the bottom corner.

Chainsaw safety is serious business. There was a man killed just west of us in Jefferson County, Illinois, when a tree he was bucking came down on him.

Branches that fling when a tree comes down will aim right back at the stump.  Study those safety rules on the left side of this page, and review them frequently. Click This Link.
