Pole Saw

Desert185 · 06-05-2016, 12:03 PM

The last time we went dry camping with friends we needed to trim some tree branches in the camping area to allow the toy hauler to fit. Our friend had a Black and Decker LPP120 20V cordless pole chain saw. Trimming the branches was a snap and I just bought my own. Its very light, breaks down into three pieces and I can use it for pruning trees at home and at my brother-in-law's.

Highly recommended for anyone who boondocks off the beaten path.

If you boondock in wooded areas.....don't leave home without it! I also carry a 20" Stihl chainsaw.

Cutting any trees is a no no IMHO

+ for YAK!

If you don't own it, don't cut it!

That's what gets us kicked off of private lands! Also most public land is a no cut zone.

If the rig don't fit... quit and move on!

If its a designated camping area and not properly pruned, I will discreetly prune it so I can get in without barking up my trailer. Just because some Forrest Service employee is too lazy to their job doesn't mean I'm staying home.

Too lazy? Or maybe too busy

I have to trim trees on my street that hang down too low.

No trees were meant to be harmed as a result of this post. Prune responsibly. A structural prune is beneficial to the tree and a happy tree is good for the environment.

Too entrenched. All I've ever been told is "thats not my job". Including forwarding the complaint. I WAS once advised that I could drive into town and speak to the supervisor. We have a few nice FS campgrounds up here and they're rarely trimmed unless its by campers, either with their A/C units or their hand tools. I choose hand tools. If they won't keep a site properly cropped, I will. I'm not going to just "give up and move on" or whatever was suggested a few posts back.

So you break the rules and screw it up for others. They're not FS sites you get what you get.

Yeah you got me. I screwed it up for everyone.
You hug the tree, I'll prune it.
