Ain't that the truth!

When I'm doing trail maintenance, I will most often reach for a hand saw before I fire up the chainsaw - and that is one of the reasons. The other reason is that I like to let the saw cool down for a bit before continuing down the trail, and that takes time...
I have a couple of old scythes one is aluminum and the other is wooden i sharpen them and use them cutting weeds lol,using them is definetly an art form that takes practice.
