What do you carry when you go to cut firewood?

[Hipastore]

A gallon of fuel, quart of bar oil, and tool box, a first aid kit, larger set of tools, and cooler with water？Another bar and chain?

What are your list?

Carry? Saw, pouch with wedges, axe to pound said wedges.
Take along for the ride? Choker cables 8’, 20’, 50’, 100’. Snatch blocks for cabling. Extra saw. Gas and bar oil. Toolbox with extra parts, chains, chainsaw tools. Cant hook. Shovel. Log chain. Tree saver strap. A couple jugs of water. Maybe a snack.

It really all depends on the job. Sometimes someone paid to get trees dropped and they felt they would cut the wood up but never did so all you have to do is buck it. At a bare minimum for those types of jobs, I take my Saw, extra chain, small box of tools, and files. Maybe I can’t hook if there are larger pieces.

 

[CatMan Fetters]

Cant hook, wedges,tool box, saw.

Recently, I’ve decided having a CAT tourniquet and quikclot combat gauze on hand are important considerations. Especially after seeing some photos of chainsaw injuries on here recently.

In addition to PPE I carry a backpack with fuel, bar oil, wedges, axe, scrench, felling lever, a spare chain and bar, first aid kit and a water bottle if I have to walk a bit to where I cut.

if I was 21 I would carry a handgun in a chest holster given the remoteness of where I live
