Chainsaw Advice

Having been a city slicker living in the sunshine and by the beach for the last 30 odd years there really hasn't been a need to have and use a chainsaw.

Now we are living more of a Grizzly Adams lifestyle I thought it about time we had better start decimating the English countryside and burning wood.

Any advice on what chainsaw to buy plus any other gear needed to split wood  etc would be most appreciated

  3. My only comment will be to make sure you get shown how to use it and the safety gear as they can be very dangerous (to the user) in the hands of a novice!

    1. I have found a company in Buxton that sell you the chainsaw plus all the safety gear and a saw horse but you have to pick it up and have a safety lesson.
      So that's my Christmas present sorted! I will go up there when I get back.
