It&#39;s a Corona, and I think I got it at Home Despot a few years ago for $30-40. A friend of mine has some German or Swedish thing that&#39;s all high tech and what-all. I&#39;m sure it&#39;s better than mine, but mine works. I lose stuff too often to invest in family heirloom-quality tools.<br /><br />Re: saw certification, I operate under don&#39;t ask, don&#39;t tell. Nobody gave me a saw to use, so I just quietly take mine up, look both ways, and then get to work. Those saw classes are lengthy, and not easy to get into...Tom Purvishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02618754717562698898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166668597557557578.post-29587839063710993722009-06-22T19:32:27.966-06:002009-06-22T19:32:27.966-06:00Hi Tom- it feels really good to be back in the high country doesn&#39;t it?<br /><br />What kind of hand saw are you using and would you buy it again? Have you tried a pocket chainsaw? I&#39;m supposed to be getting one from the FS for a trail we have adopted. Only two downed trees on this trail are chainsaw worthy but there are many that need some sort of hand saw. BTW, we had to take CPR/first aid and chainsaw certification classes through the FS to legally be able to cut on their trails.Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06254578243126936024noreply@blogger.com
