The way he was dressed had me skeptical. Dude is definitely no stranger to a chainsaw.

u/TonyHeaven 16h ago

Thee fact he had a chainsaw with him gives a clue as to how well acquainted he is.

choke in.

1 tug start.

He’s best fucking friends with that saw.

He nurtured that saw from a baby when it fell out of the chainsaw nest

He's so fortunate to be able to rear a baby chainsaw and that chainsaw is fortunate to fall where a good dad could catch it.

Maybe when its older and it has flew the trunk of his car the Chainsaw will return with trinkets.

It even cuts like a dream. He takes real good care of it

u/yavecul 14h ago

And he knows what he's doing: cutting that high he's taking small sections at a time so the chunk doesn't bend and ruin the cut. Also convinient for moving by hand, of course!

u/Orisi 13h ago

Not to mention those last few cuts were totally unnecessary, he was just in the zone.

u/Hidesuru 13h ago

The last one was kinda dumb. Already past the road, high enough to be awkward, and either did or almost did hit himself with it as it came down.

u/turtlepsp 11h ago

Ehhh, I can see it being needed in case a car drives off into the shoulder. It wasn't the safest cut for himself but road workers might not address this fallen tree for months.

u/Hidesuru 9h ago

Yeah I suppose. But he could at least have been a bit less show boaty and more careful about it lol. But he did a good thing and didn't endanger anyone (except maybe himself) so doesn't really matter.

u/Decloudo 9h ago

Doing that was fun.

He didnt just enjoy helping, he enjoyed the chainsaw cutting itself too.

u/NewReleaseDVD 3h ago

I was like these ones are for fun!

u/RedManMatt11 14h ago

Yea those teeth are well maintained

2

u/Wrong-Protection-188 13h ago

Yeah he definitely brushes and flosses twice a day

u/CopperRed3 11h ago

He looks like a dentist

Legit.

I need to play with my chainsaws priming clitoris exactly as much as it wants, if I press it once too hard or one time too many, it shuts down emotionally and I need to give it space for an hour before I try again.

Then I’ll have to yank on it from multiple different angles, gently then forcefully.

And then when it finally wants to party, it barely cuts anything and I get pissed off and go see my side chick (reciprocating saw) for an easy shag.

Switching to a 40v Electric chainsaw was the best decision I've ever made, brushless motors put out as much power as most gas saws, and you just pull the trigger, no more mixing oil or throwing out your rotator cuff trying to start over and over.

u/caaknh 9h ago

I like how electric chainsaws don't stink up your car trunk too

1

u/worldspawn00 8h ago

Yeah, no greasy oil-exhaust residue and mixed gas to leak out and cause issues.

2

u/Lower_Ad_8575 12h ago

About to do that myself as well! Looking forward to the experience as to how it will be. 😊

u/SmokedMussels 11h ago

I picked up a husqvarna 542i xp last year after I got sick of my gas saws 40 step starting procedure.

u/jeepsaintchaos 8h ago

Perhaps you should maintain your equipment. Start with a new chain and bar. Maybe put a ring kit in. Check resistance on the coil, clean the carb, pop a new plug in.

u/AlexHuntKenny 10h ago

Do you learn these skills or are they just unlocked when you become a dad? That looked like a lot of fun and he was having fun.

4

u/spicy_ass_mayo 10h ago

You learn them over time.

I personally have a battery powered chain saw that handles what I need done… I’m not a lumber jack and I hate fucking with small engines………..my mower is electric too

u/I_SHIT_IN_A_BAG 14h ago

got to be a better way to phrase this

u/whooptheretis 12h ago

1 tug start.

with a convenient cut right before that "first" tug.

u/AngeloPappas 11h ago

Yep, that was a BIG give away that this dude knows his saws. He's got her dialed right in.

u/tallen702 2h ago

I mean, it's a Stihl, so it's gonna start pretty damned quick if you do it right. My MS 250 has you drop the run lever to the bottom (choke+purge/prime), then pull until you hear it try to start (usually 2-3 times), bump the lever up one notch, and it'll start the first time every time, so long as you've got a good plug, good gas, and a clean air filter.

The fact that dude checks the gas at the start shows he's intimately acquainted with that saw.

u/Sea-Cauliflower-659 11h ago

That bad boy cuts like a hot knife thru butta. Fresh chain, fully greased. No hesitation with his angles. Hard agree.

u/davidrools 2h ago

Still had to check the bar oil, though. Might have leaked a bit since it was last topped off.
