I thought that Your remark was meant in a more offending way.
My sincere apologies for that!
All is cool!
Yes indeed, location is a big influence and no Croatia is not very big on chainsaws, bars and chainsaw chains.
There are many homeowners, and yes most of them heat with firewood but processing equipment is kept to a minimum.
Preprocessed firewood and bandsaws are very popular.
Also, pellets and pressed wood briquets are getting lots of attention these last two years.
In my surrounding I am considered an oddity for loving to run chainsaws all day long.
I am being looked upon for using a saw like my PS-7900 for any kind of job at hand just for wanting to get some trigger time on her.
Last year I openly offered everyone I know to help cut their firewood for the cost of spent fuel.
Not counting my uncle who's logs I've been bucking for a few years now only two neighbors accepted my offer - one of whom I never even asked for a refund for spent fuel.
I guess everybody else assumed there was a catch, but honestly there wasn't.
I personally buy firewood logs once a year, usually about 7-8 cubic meter.
I buck and split that amount in about a week, alone without help, while going to work every day.
That been said my desire and urge to run chainsaws is far from being fulfilled.
When cutting my own firewood and bucking my uncle's I spend one loop every two years - that is how little trigger time I get on my saws and that is why I have only one loop per saw in usage.
Again, my apologies for misunderstanding Your post.
Cheers,
P.S. / Edit:
No matter what brand of loops those buckets contain I would love to sift through them out of curiosity and fun!
