Trust me my friend she has some real nice boots but refuses to wear them. She is one of them real stubborn breeds!

I thought that was ALL females.

Too hot...

45-50 is hot enough for me.

I have cut in 90* several times. Just make sure they are clean in cooling areas tune em and run em. I do nothing real different, they do seem hotter to the touch but they don't seem to mind much. My tune is usually pretty sharp and saws are always clean, never a problem except some vapor lock

Buy her some boots she needs those toes!!

Maybe a belt too

Temps in the 90's is for wade fishing a shady river,,

I cut firewood through the summer so it doesn't interfere with hunting season. Fishing does sound like more fun in 90° heat though.

I didn't get near enough firewood done, I've got a lot of cutting to do in the near future

I actually wouldn't mind getting out to cut some before I go to give this saw (husqvarna 455) to my dad. It just came back from the dealer for a carb rebuild and fuel lines before I bought it. So I think it be a good thing to run it some to make sure it's perfect. Anyone around metro detroit need some wood cut?

I feel that if you are outside all the time you get acclimated to the heat and cold pretty quickly . A 70' day in summer feels really cool, and a 70' day in winter feels hot. I work outside a ton, and find that the first really hot or cold days kinda suck, after a week or two it isn't that bad.

Just my thoughts. Very nice to dunk in a cool pool in summer, seems to give energy right back. Also I am a big fan of taking 4-5 cotton tee shirts on really hot days and changing them once saturated!!!

Nope, never too hot, just drink plenty of water and Gatorade, Last summer I cut in 102 and 103. year before I cut in a few days of 105 plus. one day it was 108. all these days have good humidity too.

Best pace yourself brother.

I do, take frequent breaks for water or Gatorade. I get more tired loading the truck by picking up the bigger chunks and have to get a breather. especially if I have to walk a bit to the truck. a lot easier if I can pull right to the tree, sometimes that don't happen though.

90 today I was cutting. Had to use the 576 the ms250 kept throwing chains. Idk

What do you wear I always buy cotton button ups for summer I'm in it every day I find the cotton button up shirts the coolest thing to wear?

I avoid chainsawing if at all possible in the summer. I bucked up and split a couple monster beech trees and hauled the brush on a bit of a hangover last summer. 90 degrees F and 90% humidity but job had to get done. One of the worst days of my life, never again.

I cut in 105 with humidity and got heat rashes!

Well my coffee roasting business has picked up enough I need to cut so I have enough oak and hickory for all that amazing coffee.
