When you go cut, what do you take with you?

[BigRed96]

When you go cut, what items do you take along with you besides bar oil and gas? I take the following;

Not pictured here is my sidearm. I never leave the house without my trusty Glock 26 on my side. Though it might be cool to see what others take, maybe get some ideas.

What do you use to carry your sidearm in to keep fine dust and trash from getting in and on it?

It's a Glock man they don't get funny. And you can clean it in like twenty seconds

I carry a cheap Fobus outside the waistband holster with my Glock when I am not to worried about concealing it too much. Like Jake said, it's a Glock and to me it is a tool. I was laying in mud putting a belt on my mower that popped off and I didn't bother taking it off. It was covered in mud. I just wipe it off and go about my business.

Why do you guys carry axes? I am assuming to drive in wedges.

For pounding on wedges felling ,I have used it to cut my saw out if gets pinched also .If dirt is on the bark i use the axe to peel the bark where a bucking cut is also to save my chain .

I normally bring gatorade .

If I owned an Echo I'd just take that, bar oil and a jug of mix. Since I only have Stihls and Dolmars, I take three saws so I know that one will start







Just kidding. I currently have the most reliable saws I've ever owned. However, years ago when I personally only had a 021, 290 and a Homelite XL, I'd have to take all of them because the 290 was guaranteed to flood if I didn't hear the slight pop off and hit the lever up, the 021 might not start after sitting for a while and the old XL wouldn't keep enough tension to hold the chain.

I don't miss those days.

Whatever saws I have built, a few chains, files gas oil, loader tractor and dump trailer. Sometimes the splitter if it is a few day cut.

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

I bring 2-3 saws, ppe, a couple of extra chains, files, wedges, axe, bar wrench, stump vise, tape measure and crayons for firewood, and usually a cant hook. A lot of the wood I get is piled up, and the cant hook is very useful getting logs separated.
