Stihl Chainsaw Description
Stihl chainsaws are probably one of the best chainsaws on the market. This video was filmed in early 2008 while my son in law and I were cutting up a red oak tree.
If you live in an area prone to hurricanes, tornadoes or any other type of widespread natural disaster, chainsaws should be a must have item. After a hurricane has passed through, chainsaws are essential for clearing roads that are blocked by fallen trees.
Stihl Chainsaws
The Stihl company was was founded in 1926 by Andreas Stihl. Andreas was an important innovator in early chain saw production. The Stihl company is one of the world’s largest sellers of chain saws and is the only chain saw manufacturer to make their own saw chains and guide bars.
Chainsaws should be an important consideration for any survivalist. On average, one tank of gas can cut a one truck load of wood. After a disaster, such as a hurricane, chainsaws can greatly speed up recovery time. When stock piling wood, chainsaws are the preferred way to harvest the wood. In a long term collapse of society, the chainsaws dependence on gasoline is its draw back.
For harvesting firewood, a chainsaw is the way to go.
Stacking Firewood
When stacking firewood in the truck or trailer, its very important not to atack the wood too high. If the wood is stacked too high, there is a cahnc of the wood rolling off the truck or trailer when turns are made when driving home.
To prevent the logs from rolling, stack them only as high as the top of the truck or trailer.
Logs that roll off during transportation pose a safety hazard to other vehicles on the road. Extreme care should be taken to make sure that your firewood collection does not harm those that have to share the road with you.
