Western North Carolina and East Tennessee Disaster Thread

[Woodwackr]

Wow thank you so much! It's amazing and I'd like to say from everything I've heard talking with so many people already there, everyone is coming together and being incredibly kind to each other, regardless of any barriers. So this theft is certainly an outlier.

Might well have been a desperate father who needed to cut a path to get his family out.

Maybe we could brainstorm a list of misc consumable and most used spare parts for various saws. I know the crew I worked with in the 80s did that as we all used the same saws. We did repairs up to topend replacements on tailgates cut we were too far out of town si.
Rim sprockets, worm gears, clutch drums, chain adjusters, chain catchers, chip guards...?
Make a list of the possible "most common" saws?

Maybe Randy can get HL in on this…

Hey Bruce. You up? @Gentleman

Honestly I consider myself and mine very lucky that we're on the clean up side of things, and out of the rescue side for the moment.
Lots of dangerous work for alot of inexperienced cutters, definitely plenty of "teaching moments".
Anyway poison oak and ivy prevades in the Carolinas! And after slathering myself with benadryl cream all week for a couple of patches of poison oak , that would probably be a welcome donation for rescue workers.

If someone is sending supplies to my house it occurs to me that I'm low on fuel line. Whatever size that fits a 372 and such would be great. Thank you all. It's amazing how folks from near and far are stepping up. Our first load of saw supplies are heading out of Asheville today, and our first batch to the mule trains goes tomorrow. Our GoFundMe has been a great success. We met our goal and are going to raise it.
